THE NEW CASIOAK? | G-SHOCK GA-2300!

[@khonjel_singh]

I've said it before and I'll say it again. GA-2100 was a miracle from design sense for Casio. It had G-Shock roots (5600 lugs and strap) but also beautiful like a classic analog watch. It was like a lightning in a bottle. GA-B001 or this GA-2300 just can't cut it. Those are their own things. While Casioak is GA-2100.

[@khonjel_singh]

@@zachvalue Didn't know that but seems very likely.

[@jiv32]

The ga-2300 looks like a toy watch. I got caught up in the hype and got a ga-b2100 but felt a bit disappointed by it. I think I waited too long to get one and was already casioaked out by then. The ga-b001 though... I would throw money at casio when they give it a solar charger.

[@JMK15]

This is the nicest of the variants and I love the wide band.

[@Amin_2k]

I agree. This one looks out of proportion. The lugs are so big compared to the tiny watch face. Looks like a toy watch

[@sei9219]

You can say it as many times you wish. This is your opinion and you're not even mentioning why you say that. Very shallow-minded.

[@fevron]

I like the simplicity of these and surprisingly the gray looks really nice. At first I thought it might be too light of a tone, but definitely looks good.

[@tohian]

The negative display is a complete deal breaker. Great use of colours though. Thank you. Love your review style. I like that you focus on the watch with no extraneous bullshit. 👍🙏

[@TimeDrops_]

Haha thank you! Appreciate that! 😅👌

[@fikiahmadi]

for me negative display is a must

[@cmtelobo1146]

Ga2100bce is the best

[@NevinSN]

Still had my Blue Bluetooth Casioak a.k.a GA-B2100-2A for almost 2 years here 🙌🏻 One of the best watch I've ever buy 🔥🔥🔥

[@TimeDrops_]

Unrivalled for sure! 👌

[@pompeylad1977]

Having initially seen it when you revealed a week or 2 ago I wasn’t keen but now seeing a moving video which is so much better than just photos I do actually quite like it, love the size, I reckon I might get one in the black, thanks for the vid 👍🏻

[@pompeylad1977]

Just a random point, i so wish Casio would put an alarm beep at the end of the timer, it would be so good to get an audio alert to know the timer had ended, it would be so handy.

[@poolkrooni]

Wish these had Bluetooth and tough solar like the GA-B2100

[@TimeDrops_]

Yeah I wonder if we’ll see the GA-B2300 soon…

[@ianhellrazer]

This, surely its on the horizon

[@CyclingNeko]

I have kid size wrist, so this model is a blessing for me when you show the size comparison with GM-S2100. I will get this model when available in my country.

[@patricj951]

The first time I saw it I thought "o no, that's ugly". And the large X on the dial disturbed me. But after a while and the more I look at it I think I like it. And I like Casio dare to try something new!

[@FAXD09]

The design of the watch looking good for small wrist and it's actually good for many situations such as wedding, working Office and more 🗣️🔥.

[@ianhellrazer]

Im tempted to get this and put on a nato strap, between this and getting a 2100 instead (with positive display and tough solar)

[@springbay1]

It's so nice that Casio design department cater for all Transformers out there

[@shawnvegavelez121]

This look is 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Why's it getting hate? The colorway is perfect.

[@jaykwonzzz]

The lugs are fuck ugly.

[@roy_geebz]

Nice review 👌 looks like the straps could be changed out quite easy on this one too

[@ImTheDudeMan471]

The first eye magnet is the big "X"!!! That's not what you need when you glance down to see what time it is. The hour indicies and chapter ring look like broken teeth..

[@feisty8]

i have smaller wrist so i absolutely LOVE this :)

[@mad_6519]

Exactly. 'Watch people' don't ever seem to realise how annoying it is to have smaller wrists when every watch company out there is pushing 50mm lug to lugs, a round G-Shock this size is a godsend. If only citizen would do the same.

[@jose867]

Another astonishing futuristic space oddissey beautiful watch? Damned!!

[@Glusgow]

I really want to like this but those lugs are honking

[@parana2853]

I'll wait and see if someone releases an aftermarket replacement since it looks like they aren't fixed in place.

[@TimeDrops_]

What a word btw 😂🤝

[@mohammedosman88]

I like the design and color but till now I dont see myself buying it. Maybe with a tough solar version ?

[@Frey-Doh]

It reminds me of the X-Men symbol. Definitely getting red, yellow, blue red & do some mixing and matching

[@71ibanez]

I highly recommend this watch,I’ve a few other G Shock watches but this is my favourite,an everyday or formal/going out watch😊

[@TimeDrops_]

Nice 😎

[@nassozeebo]

Not a big fan of the huge cross. In general, it feels like the watch isnt very readable.

[@Zemity_]

Listen, this is exactly what I want, smaller, light and swappable/more conventional bracelet. But guess what, they’re gonna release a tough solar version. So I’m gonna wait it out.

[@duncanhamilton5841]

I think there's a subtle shift in the wider design language going on at G-Shock at the moment - check out the new Gravitymaster and BDG-1K. The Gravitymaster has a similar aesthetic around the bezel protection, and the BDG has a similar deliberately retro-futuristic feel to it.

[@duncanhamilton5841]

@@zachvalue well no, like all Gs, the design has all subtlety of a fire at a petrol station... but I think the overall direction of design is subtly changing across the whole catalogue, gradually with each new design, excluding reworks of existing stuff. They're getting smaller - this one, the GST-B600, and the BDGs. They're getting a lot more pastel. They're adding polished/faceted touches to the face. Etc etc

[@kweidenthaler]

I like the colors… I hate…. I HATE the lug design and how the strap looks wider than it supposed do be…

[@Johan-fv7ch]

The beetle leg lugs look like they were added as an afterthought.

[@kweidenthaler]

@@Johan-fv7ch 100%

[@Abdullah-cj2mh]

It’s perfect for a nato strap however

[@Johan-fv7ch]

@@Abdullah-cj2mh Yes indeed. Will look nicer than the original.

[@AlexBaldwinFTW]

I like it but wont buy a g shock without tough solar and dd/mm

[@teomai]

It looks good but the dial face 🤔 why must black?? The size for me is perfect. Overall, still a good watch for people who don't mind the dail face (being hard to read) 😎

[@dedikpurwanto9842]

Wearing Blackout dial watch its like wearing cool bracelet.

[@9snaga]

I'm in the minority that loves this but feels the face is too small.

[@izraelservantofalmightygod]

Yep. Should be 20-30% bigger

[@jarekpszuk6944]

Am I seeing correctly that the strap has a regular lug width and olcould actually be swapped the strap for a regular one without adapters?

[@LouixIskander]

I don’t mind the size. Less mass = less chance of it bumping/ scraping/ more noble

[@ElderPinto254]

nicely done casio i love it !

[@pstaehlin]

Very cool dial design. The massive lugs sticking out looks ridiculous! Ohhh...if only Casio would get in to tritium in their watches. So many cool G-shock watches out there but are SO SO dang difficult to read!

[@swapnilshikhar672]

it is beautiful and compact that's all i want. wonders for slim wrist guys

[@TimeDrops_]

Nice! 👌

[@raidensnake9471016]

This Casio looks amazing 😍

[@Kenji-Tsuyoi]

Not a fan of the huge X across the dial the colors are nice but will be a miss for me

[@AnsalBarahim]

I love the Color way and I really love Casio Watches ❤❤❤

[@Senchronize]

Feels like metagross trainers would wear this

[@uthkarshnaik6608]

IL wait for the solar version

[@nothereforlong1]

Yep, I saw them last week when they were launched. Love the grey one but, happy to wait for it to be upgraded with solar and BT. Might get a positive display with other colours.

[@marblecracker]

Morelike a digimon digivice to me

[@devenderbutani80]

This one is simply beautiful in my opinion.

[@Drownedinblood]

Imo this looks way bettet than the casioak and i hate that its sold out and uk exclusive.

[@davidbowie2046]

Love the colour, but what's with the X factor cross? That strap looks like it's from Ali Express.

[@minidee2194]

It looks like those power rangers watches at the mall

[@NFS-shade]

The colorway is nice But the X-men in the middle im not fond of.

[@LamarFaciane]

Damn! I had stopped collecting Casio🤦🏽‍♂️

[@VijayRaj-du8be]

Well done ,great review

[@jewelljerin8270]

Ga b001cy Or Ga 2300 smaller?

[@AngryAsianOG]

I love the grey and don't mind the size

[@Vpplejvxx]

I don't see this on their website anywhere

[@SapulientoSaurio]

I'm waiting for a GM-2300

[@marcocosta76]

I returned it a minute after receiving it. Really too small for my wrist, it felt like I was wearing a women's or children's watch

[@waceembhat]

Is it tough solar or not ?

[@techymeter8522]

Those lugs are too clunky..😢😢😢

[@user-og3ht2sg3n]

can you sent me link to buy Grey color

[@Watchandcutgearchannel]

Well done.. great review.. I want to park one next to my 3 casioaks might wait for some other colors

[@Xpurple]

That’s pretty nice.

[@fajricorp9643]

Lol.. I fan of Gshock almost 7 years. Dw 5600 ga 2100 I think the best one and small. But This thing is smaller. Out of Gshock character!

[@apo1980]

thats a hard pass for me love a lot of models but this design does not work for me

[@TimeDrops_]

Fair 🤝

[@fajarkurniawan9434]

I am sad G-Shock drop the can packaging

[@antonk6278]

It looks like a Ben 10 Omnitrix lol

[@frantiseksklenar9903]

Nelíbí se mi. GA-2100 jsou hezčí.

[@tomtakumi]

they might release an X-Men limited edition. 🤭

[@rahilrahi6132]

Available in india where links pls

[@MomIsCrying]

when is this coming to not america?

[@romaricquerson6165]

Bonjour Andrew , cette GA-2300 est plutot compatc , cela est un peu different des autre modeles .

Ich verstehe casio nicht. Warum ohne Solar 😢

Wrist measurement?

Hey, approx 7”, thanks for watching! 🤝

[@LEGOTROLL1]

if it had tough solar, i am in, till then nope.

The X is annoying

Any new G-shock model without MIP display is a waste of money imho.

Nice👍

There is only one Casioak, the 2100!

[@frankiefugazi]

FINALLY!! A Casio I don't want! 😮😂

[@sriramnarayanan9327]

Nice video

[@princeajaz9167]

I still think that GAB 2100 is the pinnacle of casioak design and much better than this.

[@Aarish4107]

Let's check my luck

[@joystudy2655]

Nice

[@Eksoteric]

Not bad

[@TimeDrops_]

😁

[@izraelservantofalmightygod]

Still a kid size?

[@LuxusDreher90]

The only good thing about this watch are dimensions...the rest looks like a kid toy. Bracelet and lugs are straight trash

[@villewintermaul1907]

Now it feels like gshock are playing a broken guitar😂

[@ww3k]

hate the lugs

[@krisht1613]

No wayyyyyy

[@astronaut2005drummer]

I don't believe. It's small.

[@dunderhay9169]

Oh dear that looks terrible, the hands are tiny. A Casio with some 22mm lug adapters is much nicer.

[@UFCPR]

This GA-2300 is too ugly and too flat to be the new casioak. Worst it looks like a ladies watch! Casio is in a conundrum; the Casioak watch is unbeatable, I own 4 of them and planing to get my fifth, a metal one (GMB2100BPC1A?) soon. So these sequential new models are not doing much for Casio, maybe they should forget about it and embrace the Oak for the rest of the century.

[@rusthamshahanv7728]

Woah

[@johnwayne346]

Nope! What are those stupid grey things sticking out of the strap??? Bloody ridiculous!!!!!

[@MahirAhmed-ri7sy]
