[@jasoncabreros]

This is the best tutorial on how to setup and use the GA-2100. I got one a week ago and had no clue on how to calibrate the hands. Really useful to know how to get the hands out of the way of the display as well. The speed and detail of your tutorial is great!

[@lydericmaes6278]

Damn, I read the Casio manual and I was like WTF ?! Then I watched this video and I've been enlightened ! Everything became simple. Thanks for this great video !

[@Anth230]

I didn't even get a manual. Most annoying watch I have ever set. Not worth it.

[@lydericmaes6278]

das 1988 I agree, I bought it 100€, kept it 2 days to sell it 200€. This watch looks cheap, functions are basic and it doesn’t look like an AP royal oak ! At all 😂

[@TOPchop88]

Same here. Thanks dude!

[@datdanweerwel]

Casio should hire you for their manuals!

[@lukemillar4558]

Useful tip when you are in the world time zone mode, you do not have to wait until the city name finishes scrolling to display the time. You can skip this animation and display the time instantly by pressing the adjust button once. Another tip is if you accidentally click the mode button or are in a mode setting and you want to quickly go back to home without continuously pressing the mode button, you can press and hold the mode button to take you back to home quickly.

A useful tip for the hand shift function: press the light button FIRST and then the MODE button. It's more effective than trying to do it simultaneously. Also, do exactly the same to return them to their regular position. There is no need to click the mode button, as this function works independently.

[@WTFAnyNameWorks]

Does this watch have a chronometer function?? Where it counts up from zero, not a countdown

[@WatchGeek]

Yes, it's called Stopwatch and you can find the time code for that function in the description

[@johnkollias6782]

I picked up the mid size today, but since it's the same as the Ga 2100 function wise, your video came in very handy. These watches are great and G-shocks to boot! How can you go wrong? Great video.

[@sparkonthehorizon]

I just had to re-set for DST and again your video makes something that seems kind of intimidating, very clear and easy. I thank you again sir!!

[@cr2093]

This watch has arrived in my hands and I don't regret buying this watch at all. Honestly, this is the best watch I've ever owned. The first positive impression when I saw and wore this watch is that the design is very good and it fits my hand very well because the size is not too big but not too small either. Then my first negative impression was that it took me quite a while to look at this clock because the numerals on the watch were dark too. however, when I use it longer, I don't think this is too much of a problem because this watch has a light display.

[@claytonjuan]

I just bought the red version of this watch because that is all that is available right now. I am reviewing your video to get an idea of what I will need to do to change the battery three years from now! I've also saved your video to my favorites list. Thanks for translating a somewhat daunting manual into an easy-to-understand and -follow tutorial.

This is simple but can be a little tricky at first. I picked up both a ga2100 red and gab2100 blue. The Bluetooth and the higher quality buckle makes the newer version the best option for me. However the RED is only available in the older version.

[@ape7577]

Great video, very interesting. You can identify the GA-2100's manufacturing date through the serial number engraved on the back cover.

[@berkkenankoyuncu644]

check out 3:30 carefully. even you adjust the hands at 12:00 position, the space between right and left side is not equal. I have ga 2100 1adr. It has same problem. If you have this model, you can also realize this alignment problem when the minute hand at 45 position and some parts of dial. As I understand some products have this alignment problems and some doesn't have. It's a manufacture issue. However, it's obvious that ga 2100 serie is so cool and impressive. Thanks for the video.

is there anyway to fix it? i noticed that problem too, it does bother me a little cause of my OCD

They’re hard to find but by chance a local for me store just got it in stock. I ordered it and had a 20% off coupon. I received it tonight 12\14. Set it right right up. Really stylish and stealthy at a low price point. I’ll admit the triple black is a bit difficult to read the time. But I like it almost like mans bracelet. It’s great. Very light weight.

[@JeeGee114]

I like the looks but I had to go with the grey hands because of legibility issues. Legibility is nr. 1 on my list nowadays. I feel stupid reaching for my phone wearing a watch.😊

[@williamchristian8705]

Marinus Antonius I agree with both points. Watches aren’t so needed anymore with phones showing time. I like watches as almost male jewelry. The stealth is hard to read easily same with red. But I like the way they look on wrist. That’s enough for me. And I’m a simple G Shock guy. Usually $100-$200. And they just are durable and simple.

[@nickj1663]

Many thanks for this video mate. Made my life so much easier.

[@ichbinderrizal]

After a long search of this exact model (stealthy black) in different cities and countries in Europe. I have finally got it and bought two! Was so upset because they’re sold out immediately! Even Online. So I pre-ordered and waited for 2 months but did not arrive. So I had a random search again online on January 1, 2020, so there I found it in Zalando. Now I have them on! I really love it and it’s perfect to my taste especially the color and design . All my gshock watches are in stealthy color. So obviously I love all black. Ü Such a great new year with new watch. Ü
