The G-Shock GA-2300 is much better than I expected

A review of the brand new G-Shock GA-2300 launched in April 2024. In this video, I review the GA-2300-8AER which is the variant with a light grey case and straps, black dial and orange hands. Other variants include the GA-2300-4AER (pink), GA-2300-7AER (white and grey) and GA-2300-1AER (black). The GA-2300 is an evolution of the original GA-2100 (nicknamed Casioak) first released in 2019. It's features include World Time, Stopwatch, Countdown Timer, 5 alarms and Super Illuminator backlight.

There’s nothing like watching a review of a great watch that I can’t even buy.

When returning the hands after moving them out of the way, you dont have to hold both buttons again. You can just hold the mode button until it beeps and will being you back to normal time

[@davidrosenblum2178]

I think they should have made the indices less stealthy. Perhaps matching the case color in this example.

[@krustiiik]

Im still deciding between these and ga-b001.. 😂 Both look awesome, ill probably wait for more colorways for ga-2300

[@nameloss]

any thoughts on the GA-2200? the 2300 is pretty interesting to me (and i’m in agreement about the pink) but i prefer the look of the 2200

[@Ghost19_]

Man, I wanted this very particular colorway..

[@Yesnt-ix4ki]

The watch's strap width is 24mm. 22mm has some free play to it unfortunately.

[@costas2911]

Very nice review thank you for your time , i hope they will make it with solar power.

[@wristaction]

I'm sure there will be one later.

[@stevenikazy2943]

Can't wait to see the SKEMI version in metal with a positive display.

[@silentviewer9006]

Cakeppp benerrrr 😍😍😍

[@arnaudarchi3293]

will be sold in france too

[@sd2lv]

Is this watch even available in the US? Casio’s website doesn’t have it in any colorway?

[@johneisenberg9700]

Very useful reciew, I always like your 'legit check'. I am not keen on the extended lugs (might take getting used to) but wonder how it would look on a NATO. Might suit it.

[@johneisenberg9700]

Just The Watch (another v good channel) just posted the watch with some NATOs. I think they look great.

[@thirteen4960]

Oh god, I want this

[@MrZenhookah]

I dub this the Casio "cyberwatch"

[@wristaction]

😄

[@nathanaelsmith3553]

Love it - doh! (sold out)

[@leadsled213]

I don't think it's available in the US...

[@CACOPHONIE]

Can it be changed with the after market strap?

[@wristaction]

I don’t know. I haven’t tried taking off the straps yet.

[@wristaction]

Update: yes it can

[@texex9251]

How would I go about finding one of these in the US?

[@wristaction]

This colour way is not available in North America currently. They have released the black, white or pink models in US

[@rudrap9556]

Bro are you the same guy who does deathloop vids?

[@kyledriscollmusic]

I love it, but I hate those lugs, if they just put normal looking lugs on it I would get one for sure

[@Johan-fv7ch]

100% agree.

[@nemesishacking]

Ill take this over any rolex or ap!

[@holynuggets69]

No you won’t 😹💀

[@Johan-fv7ch]

What's with the beetle leg lugs?🤷

It does have one

[@evolution8662]

So how much is this retail??

[@wristaction]

Rrp is £99.9

[@torgomax]

Bertucci Solar⌚👍

[@RoZZameSS]

why did they change the packaging from the iconic can to a piece of cheap cloth? 😤 I thought it was a one time case because of a different dealer I chose, but no - all G-shocks I got this year came alongside this downgrade (for the EU market at least)

[@wristaction]

I know. I was looking to see if there were any announcements about this, but I couldn't find any information.

[@crazylousy]

Looks like a flat version GA-B001

Saw it today in store. Looks cool, except those awful indices

[@magnuskallas]

Design is kind of anti-functional: the X design looks cool but makes no sense in classical clock reading terms.

[@wasimoto_7540]

@@magnuskallas true, but wouldn't be that bad with proper, contrasting indices and hands. The size and shape of the case is very nice though

[@ImTheDudeMan471]

Graphically speaking, most things with a big "X" on it means what?

Can i get in uae?

[@AMN342]

It is not available in UAE.

[@leroyxavierzhong3251]

Pretty sure this is inspired by the Romain Jerome moon DNA watch.

[@wristaction]

I just checked out Chrono24, and it does look like the Moon Invader alright.

[@maxdronov]

for this price it must work a month

[@Soggz7785]

I think it looks silly. I have 4 Tough Solar G’s.

[@Dreammyw0w]

Lovely design, but it looks to plasticy... no? The indices f.e. ...

[@ricardomorales1039]

no BT no Solar :(

[@FroggleNL]

No BT is a good thing. Solar is a nice to have.

[@ricardomorales1039]

@@FroggleNL I like BT cause you never worry about the time and is cool to see how all your collection syncs... Also I don't have Mb6 coverage so syncing my Mb6 needed some android automation and careful locating my watches. Non syncable watches like my first ga2100 get less use because of this... But I get why some people don't like BT.

[@FroggleNL]

@@ricardomorales1039 Don’t get it. Some have multiband 6, which will take care of the time.

[@ricardomorales1039]

@@FroggleNL like I said multiband doesn't work where I live. So I have to use an app to emulate which while fun for a couple of watches at the same time is really annoying if I were to base my collection on mb6. I currently have like 14 watches that sync to my casio app so there you go. I guess that if you only have 1 or 2 watches then is not a big issue to reset the time every now and then (either manually or emulating the mb6 signal)

[@Yang_Mulia]

they should put solar panel in the "X" it's serve no purpose and taking too much space

[@wristaction]

I wouldn’t be surprised if a solar version is released in the future.

[@Yang_Mulia]

definitely will buy if they have a solar version with normal white lcd

[@user-pr7bu4es2l]

No solar = No go.

[@fajricorp9643]

Lol. Too small!

[@Seamaster1963]

Nice looking but just too small for most mens wrists.

[@FAINING]

Colore and suze make me think that Casio sell this as a women watch. i don't know how they insist in make collections for men and women and not unisex. Your review supreme For me it's a ugly watch, I ser more strap than watch face and the displays are useless in negative and with that small size.

[@wristaction]

They do seem to be trying to attract more of a female audience with their new releases.
