About the Watch in short. The budget G-Shock model with an octagonal case and the latest Carbon Core Guard protection. The GA-2100 form factor resembles the first G-Shock DW-5000C, but with a pronounced octagonal shape and more streamlined corners – this way the Japanese pay tribute to the glorious past of the high-impact direction. The carbon fiber that is used in the GA-2100 case makes the watch more durable and lighter, not to mention the case thickness of 11.8 mm – the series can be called the thinnest among all G-Shock with an analogue dial. An additional window shows the current day of the week, and more detailed information about the date can be viewed on the digital display. The set of features here is only basic [world time, timer, stopwatch, alarm clock, calendar], but they are enough for most everyday tasks.
Enjoy Japanese Unique Features in GA-2100!
Octagonal Bezel. The bezel features the octagonal design motif maintained since the very first G-SHOCK. The outline a sense of stability, creating an expression of power worthy of the G-SHOCK.
Minimal Design. Use of the latest toughness-driven construction with carbon fiber-reinforced resin made it possible to slim the case to the utmost limit. The side profile design pays homage to the very first model with its button layout, uneven surface form and fixed-angle band.
Dimensional Dial. With a sense of depth achieved with three-dimensional molding, the dial features a minute-mark-notched dial ring, three-dimensional index cuts, a mode dial and irregular shaped LCD in a sweetly balanced arrangement. The spacious layout makes for a face design offering simplicity as well as excellent visibility.
Monochromatic Color. The GA-2100 line comes in a thoroughly fashion-conscious color scheme. The GA-2100-4A boasts 9 different shades of red. The application of a different shade for each component — from the case exterior to the dial, dial ring, hands, LCD, buckles and more — gives the watch an overall integrated look, while bringing out an irresistible textural feel in its detailing.
Carbon Core Guard Structure. The module is protected with a carbon fiber-reinforced resin case. The special characteristics of the carbon fiber material — light weight, high strength and superior weather resistance — were leveraged to make the case as slim and compact as possible, with no compromise on shock resistance.
The Challenge of a Thinner Case. The developers pursued a thinner design while still satisfying the original G-SHOCK criteria for shock resistance. They strengthened the external structure and slimmed the module, achieving wafer-thin at just 11.8mm.
Thin Module. The module was slimmed by miniaturizing the componentry and employing optimized, high-density mounting for the circuit board structure. Combined with the Carbon Core Guard structure, these efforts made for an astonishingly smaller, slimmer case.
Double LED Light. The double LED with high luminance brightly illuminates the dial and LCD to ensure readability in the dark.
Slide Lever. A slide lever makes it easy to attach and remove the band — a very handy feature for cleaning and other maintenance.
Shock-Resistant Structure and 200m Water Resistance. The shock-resistant structure protects the watch. With 200m water resistance as well, the watch is ideal for use in a wide range of locations and situations.

Timekeeping
Use the Timekeeping Mode to set and view the current time and date.

You can use the World Time Mode to view the current time in one of 31 time zones (48 cities) around the globe. the city that is currently selected in the World Time Mode is called the “World Time City”.
Using the Stopwatch
The stopwatch measures elapsed time, split times, and two finishes.
– The stopwatch measures elapsed time in units of 1/100 seconds for the first hour, and in 1-second units after that for up to 24 hours total. After that, elapsed time reverts to zero and then stops.
Countdown Timer
The countdown timer start time can be set in 1-second increments up to a maximum of 24 hours. An alarm sounds when the countdown reaches zero.

Official Casio Description. Ever since the first DW-5000C went on sale back in 1983, G-SHOCK has continued to push the limits of timekeeping toughness while creating new and original designs. These new models embody these efforts in an attractively thin configuration.
These new models inherit the octagon form that was also employed for the original DW-5000C. Analog-digital timekeeping comes packed into a no-nonsense simple design without sacrificing G-SHOCK level toughness.
High-strength resin material, which is reinforced with carbon fibers, makes it possible to create a case that is a mere 11.8 mm thin, which is the thinnest among G-SHOCK combination models.
