G-Shock GA-2100-1A1 Black One Size

I haven't worn a watch in probably 25 years or longer. I decided to buy some little cheap fit bit type of watch as I was getting into running and weight lifting again. After a couple months I didn't like that watch but it did trigger me to want a good watch. I began searching and shortly came across this watch. I watched videos and read reviews. I finally decided after Christmas to buy it. I am glad I did. It's just a really good watch. Pretty simple and very elegant and smooth. I even purchased a mod kit to put it into another body and band. Man it's really a great treat. People will ask you about it for sure. Great watch, great price. I'm hooked and will buy another in due time.

So amazing the appearance is a slick but cool matte black it is easy to read and has a light if you cannot see the digital time. It also has hands so you can tell it regularly. The versatility is insane it can show the day of the week and the number day and month if you click start. And so much more I recommend this because it is one of my favorite purchases of all time. Performs well and is waterproof so you can tell time in a pool too.

I have to admit, I don’t know what I expected when the box came, but what a pleasant surprise. I was looking for a watch I could take kayaking and on nature hikes, but I didn’t want to spend more than $100 on it. It needed to have a rubber or synthetic band that handled water well and was easily able to try with a towel. The watch needed to be waterproof but also not complicated. The G-Shock series is typically a very busy watch face, and the cases are usually so large (49mm and above). I wanted something that was smaller for my medium-sized wrist. I wanted a simplified G-Shock, but different, and not obnoxious. I found it with this model.Overall, it’s a nice watch. It shows very well. I like the world time setting and just love watching the hands spin around when I select the city. It fits my wrist and isn’t too big or heavy. I think it is very clean looking and I didn’t expect to say “wow” out of the box. But the design harkens back to the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak design, which is a dream look for most. This is why the watch is referred to as a “CasiOak”. I didn’t want a ton of little things to look at on the watch face so to me, looking down and checking the time is a real pleasure. There’s a day of the week and a time. Perfect. The light works well in the dark. The watch is made to be an activewear style watch so the material of the watch suits it’s ability to compete with products of the environment (water and dirt). So when I see these other comments that say things like "well the material feels cheap" or "the band is not what I thought", I don't know what other material they expected the watch to be made of. Overall, good watch and I'm not sure where the left of field reviews are coming from.I am pleased and would recommend this watch.
