The G-Shock CasiOak GA-B2100 | A Week On The Wrist

[@drebux]

I never comment on the Hodinkee vids, but you all need to keep this dude making these videos. He's a breath of fresh air in watch videos.

[@faizalputra559]

agree no more, me either never commented on youtube vids. not this time. just bcs, who else could handle gold speedmaster and yellow gshock as good as him.

[@arnebucher7317]

I love that Brandon isn´t taking the hobby too seriously, but just serious enough. As many have said before me, he should be your dedicated "Week On The Wrist" guy.

[@SteveFWatches]

100% and using real life practical daily wear broll

[@bestboy897]

For real

[@cestmoi2681]

wrong. "serious" is not an adverb.

[@thesouthernwatchcollector8948]

Ok it is Official I want Brandon as the official week on the wrist guy. He is perfect for the job . This is his third time doing a week on the wrist and every video is better than the last.👍💯🔥

[@SteveFWatches]

100% agreed

[@SoCalWatchReviews]

Agree 👍🏼

[@alejandrolopez4442]

100%

[@larsstougaard7097]

10000 %

[@rickrounds5150]

Cool doggie too.

[@TheGunDude]

Brandon is seriously the best. Every video he makes is shot perfectly, edited perfectly? Scripted perfectly, subtle jokes here and there but 100% passion.

[@SteveFWatches]

We got Brandon back! Yes!! Anyone else see that Grand Seiko Easter egg? 0:56

[@DickieDuong]

Yes! But only thing is the sbgw289 is the perfect 9s64 GS manual wind 😉

[@alejandrolopez4442]

Brandon is the best! Doesn't take himself very seriously but is passionate at what he does 👍We need more of him!

[@SoCalWatchReviews]

Brandon is the man and should be the official “Week on the wrist” guy! Keep up the amazing work brother 👏

[@janson2911]

The vagabond manga just put you on one of my favorite watch journalist ever

[@ZombieGavinS]

Yellow is definitely the best colour in the range 😍

[@Stockholmspatriot]

As soon as I saw Brandon in this video I smiled. My favorite "A week on the wrist" person.

[@Sandman.68.]

Got a yellow for my 54th birthday , love it . ♥️

[@Peskarik]

got the Yellow Casioak myself, on 35% discount. It is THE best color for this watch (also because this is the only one that has clearly visible white hour indices). Solar makes it virtually maintenance-free and bluetooth connection makes setting all function way easier and quicker than using tiny buttons on the watch itself. Everyone should have a CASIO Casioak in their collection!

[@dmccoyny]

Totally agree. I'm a G-Shock guy for sure. I replaced my beat-up DW5600E w/ a GWB5600BC this past winter, and I love it! It has every feature under the sun, and yet not too pricey, lightweight, and tough. It's a watch I can throw on and not think about until I need it. And it goes with everything since it's all black.

[@jason_jay3868]

Hey HODINKEE! Keep the videos from Brandon coming 👍🏼👍🏼

[@grantgauvreau2744]

Best HODINKEE video in quite some time. Great job to the presenter.

[@djcarlo]

Brandon is great! Glad to see him on this channel!

[@TheRonanEdition]

Brandon did a fantastic job! He kept it light while sharing important and relevant information.

[@davidwarburton8890]

Never thought I would wear mine more than my German and Swiss automatics, but i do.

[@ShizAudi]

This guy is the best hodinkee presenter…by far

[@alexguilbert5287]

Once again Brandon providing that breath of fresh air Hodinkee desperately needed. Give this man more air time!!

[@BetterTodaywithJasonCruz]

Brandon's the best thing that's happened to Hodinkee in a while

[@calvinshere]

no! the sbgw289 is the best! on an unrelated note, i do adore my casioak, the peace of mind that comes with wearing it is unparalleled tbh

[@BrandonMenancio]

I agree! That pink little darling is gorgeous 😍

[@LJImutan]

I have a few GA2100s. All red, all grey, white with black face, and the GMA2100 metal one. Got the yellow GAB2100 and it’s probably my favorite one. Fun retro vibe as the classic yellow DW5600

[@paulpah4717]

Awesome work Brandon! Quickly becoming my favorite KZbin watch content producer! Great filmography and fun approach to watch collecting

[@joshsteuterman2363]

Great video! This video is not too serious and I like that. Keep this guy doing shows!!

[@Tacticalwon]

Loving the videos with Brandon in them, he's got a great personality, and keeps things fun while still being analytical.

[@ugabrew]

Nice work Brandon! I hope to see more of you on this channel.

[@0388nemo]

Love to see Brandon here, at Hodinkee. although Brandon does not update his channel anymore. It is good to see him present his work at Hodinkee.

[@larsstougaard7097]

Yes sad 😔, but great to see him here

[@Tdr-jv2nc]

This is great! I love seeing more normal priced watches!

[@cameronbowers5842]

This dude is awesome, please keep him as the guy for these videos.

[@swizzmamba8912]

Brandon with the facts! Yellow is best 💛

[@evandrocosta1393]

Thinking about buying one since i already have 2 Casioaks, the First ones in Black and the Metal one, but boy i love this yellow one...

[@evandrocosta1393]

@@sriraam1010 yes, you can change the time on the watch. It’s very easy. Dual time even if you like.

[@DarthVaedus]

This is one of Hodinkee’s best. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@lucacadianalbert]

Love your video reviews Brandon. I'm a huge square fan but I didn't immediately fell in love with the CasiOak when it was first released - took me a bit of time to warm up to it but really like it. I also picked the yellow GA-B2100, which is what I'm wearing this morning. I think next we will see premium versions of the CasiOak. Happy Digi Hum Day! Oh - and thanks for the IG Cameo appearance - that was a pleasant surprise.

[@dustingaddis2423]

Check G-Central, there's already an all-metal version in the pipeline, coming sooner than later.

[@lucacadianalbert]

@@sriraam1010 yes you can use is as a regular watch without any Bluetooth connection.

[@deanwaller8283]

Bought this exact one,and changed the strap and bezel for a black one,it's absolutely STUNNING now, pretty much my perfect watch!

[@ABC-cd7de]

Which bezel and strap did you use?

[@Theo-ul8qm]

Love the video! I will say that if I were to get a gshock, I’m very tempted to get this one. I like the fact that it’s on the thinner side, and the design is great. I think its only competition is really other casios. Some of the Edifice line I think would appeal to people who are looking at this watch. Or maybe some of the larger citizens.

[@earlfoss99]

This short made me appreciate the G Shock for the first time.

[@tonyluong6783]

Best gshock review vid I’ve seen man. Keep it up. You just got a new subscriber

[@k.iskandar]

Brandon. If you're reading this. Because of you, I just ordered this specific GShock. HODINKEE! KEEP THIS MAN AS YOUR WEEK ONT HE WRIST GUY!

[@clintonleonard5187]

The yellow is such a good color

[@Levi_The_Giant]

I've had my Casioak for almost a year now. Completely agree, it's a great watch that I keep coming back too when I want something nice on my wrist but something fun and not pretentious.

[@sriraam1010]

Hey, I'm thinking to buy this watch and have a question- Can we set/change the time in watch itself instead of going through phone. I just want to use it like a normal watch without any connection to bluetooth. Will the time still keep up?

[@Rahul016-d6k]

​@@sriraam1010Yes You can

[@treqjosh]

I love that Hodinkee did a week on the wrist for the Casioak! 👌

[@AndrewChinco]

I totally feel you bro. Just bought two in the last few weeks and I couldn't be happier.

[@user-iz9co4qf6z]

I have the blue one and I've really been enjoying it. Especially wearing it to work as I work in a lab and have meetings on the same day so works in both situations

[@JJJosh949]

The yellow g shock always reminds me of Coldplay.

[@kingjgregory]

Brandon is the the man.

[@randallk2556]

Great guy Brandon fresh addition to the team

[@rickfanning5647]

I saw the vidoe on my feed and thought "I hope they had Brandon do this one." Did not disappoint. I love that Hodinkee is giving time to all kinds of watches. Sure, we all like videos that show high end peices. But, let's face it, most of us aren't going in for those. We've got bills to pay. So yes, please show wathces that are just, well, fun. And yes, more Brandon. Please and thank you.

[@madgpol]

I've got loads of the 2100's but this is my favourite. Perfect holiday watch

[@indranilpaul9577]

Loved the yellow watch and also the Naruto wall-frame back.

[@lingogringo]

Didn't realize how slim this watch is, assumed it would be around 14-15 mm. Great video, as if it needs saying :) Love the review Brandon, keep up the great work!!

[@catcancrunch7260]

This yellow variant is just funky cool 😎

[@rickrounds5150]

Hi Brandon, I love my 'yellow' too. It's different and with a positive display. The app is very good and easy to use too, never have to touch the watch. Thanks for the video.

[@onewatchatatime3449]

Great video. I never liked the casioak until this new yellow colour way with tough solar and Bluetooth as well! I’m sold. Brandon is a great contributor

[@juanmenjivar28]

Great video Brandon. It's always nice and entertaining to watch your reviews.

[@ignacioarienza]

Epic review, great job Brandon!!

[@MazAmeli]

I didn't know you were working with Hodinkee now, Brandon! That's dope.

[@shashanktiwary9890]

Got the yellow one too! It's addictive! ❤

[@JoeSmith-np6nz]

Great review! Addressing the hype beast and the hobby 👌🏽 Reminding us that watches are fun !

[@anguspodgorney1969]

Just picked up the FC7, the party model that’s white with multicolors. Pretty pleased with my decision.

[@IceColdNukaCola]

Great video Brandon! 👏

[@denniskai2331]

Fracking awesome watch video - best I've seen in a long time

[@DirectRegister]

Perfect reviewer for this watch! Great video

[@frozengamer3030]

I recently got in to G shock watches and I love this colour

[@Trip2Shiesty]

They’re so beautiful the most perfect everyday watch I just had my 3rd one delivered today 👍👍👍

[@bhyat]

BEEN waiting for this vid

[@diogotqueiroz]

Very good video and the comparison with the moonswatch makes full sense

[@danielcavrak7793]

Videos with Brandon are great. 🤙

[@MedTrabelsi-xl4sg]

Yellow is 🔥🔥🔥

[@Caleb_Djk_18]

We need to see more videos from this guy!

[@Watch.Hightower]

And he's back! 😎

[@NJames-dh6kz]

Pair the yellow gshock with your yellow Crocks and take your fashion game to the next level.

[@MrJoberg]

I really enjoyed the comparison between the casioak and the moon swatch.

[@lloydwellington5271]

Finally acquired my yellow one. Now to finish off the ignite red set.

[@GeminiTM]

Just got this watch today. Love it.

[@f1hotrod527]

They are like the SNK-800 series. Cheap, but fun as hell. Watches is a new hobby to me, and my collection has probably grown too fast. But I find, that I like watch brands that have history and great design, and don't care about the snob or cost factor. I am a full fledged Seikopath, and just love their designs, and can afford them. I have all 4 colors of the SNK-800, I have my 4th Land Tortoise on the way, a Dress KX, Some Skagens I have from 20 years ago, and orient Kumasu, my grandfathers Longines, and my fathers 1970's UFO Seiko. I am really excited that I have the green version of this Casio on the way. Like my Seiko's, I just love the style of these watches. They are unique (I don't consider them a royal Oak inspiration). Ohh and I am going down the modding rabbit hole, and have all the parts from Namoki to build a 36mm explorer homage, and planning future builds. You can really go down a rabbit hole with this hobby.

[@BLKMeSa]

1:23 The face after smelling the flower f'ing killed me. Hilarious (even if not intentional).

[@Munki]

Love my yellow, red, grey, white and black CasiOaks! I just can't get enough of them! Might have to add that blue and green to the list!

[@sparkonthehorizon]

Excellent video, sir. Beautifully done. I would NEVER have considered thus watch in the yellow colorway, but dammit you rock it. Well done!

[@71mb0o]

Reading vagabond manga is a vibe. It’s really a work of art.

[@Rockit1st]

I like this guy. Keep ‘em comin.

[@benlau4026]

This is already my go to when the sun is out! Great value at £85 “Yellow “

[@spydergkh6337]

My GAB2100C-9A will be arriving this coming Monday!! It's been awhile since I've been this excited about the arrival of a new watch - not to mention, a non-mechanical watch!! 😲🍻 I haven't owned an electronic watch in nearly 18 years when I had a Timex Ironman.

[@e.a6851]

​@@sriraam1010you can change on the watch itself

[@LSOreal]

Watched this video a few times now, so I had to buy the yellow. Finally found it through an authorized dealer in Europe. Cost me $300 after conversion, shipping and customs. Clearly not a wise financial decision on my part, but Brandon made me do it 😂

[@jamesbeard]

Still a much better watch than the MoonSwatch, even at that price!

[@LSOreal]

@@sriraam1010 I haven’t been using the app since I set up the watch. It even adjusted for Daylight Savings Time automatically.

[@bestboy897]

Excellent vid very pleasant to watch 😁

[@tw2210]

Good video and presenter. Thank you from the UK 🇬🇧🇺🇸

[@scentybeast9531]

that yellow pops, slick !

[@sadi-m1]

The resin material which is given a yellow color is very good, because the bezel is denser than the black color which easily stretches, but the yellow strap always makes a clicking sound...

[@MrWesQ]

I paid slightly more to import the Japan exclusive all black stealth color way. Love it!

[@geoffwatches]

Is this the you're terrific guy? I love this dude!

[@coachjobo]

Love the video! Brandon best at week on the wrist! 👌🏼

[@BeaMeUpMrScott]

Nice review. I have a red GA2100, and I enjoy wearing it. It has a weird effect that it really catches the eye. it is probably the most complimented on piece of attire I own. $160 is too steep of a price for me right now.

[@dehoyosrudolph8885]

I pre ordered the yellow one, it’s a nice piece!

[@Hiluxtaco]

Love my G-Shocks...

Would be great if they produce this in the small size too. 🔥
