Enjoy Japanese Unique Features in GA-B2100!
SIMPLICITY OF DESIGN
While maintaining the iconic octagonal form of the GA-2100 inherited from the very first G-SHOCK, the GA-B2100 now also has Smartphone Link and Tough Solar power capabilities. It also employs the Carbon Core Guard structure to preserve a similar fit on the wrist as the original model.
DIAL WITH ENCHANCED TEXTURE
The dual-layer dial construction highlights the dimensionality of the LCD and inset dial. Meticulous attention to detail gives the dial a look of enhanced texture, especially the different surface treatments we apply to the dial face and inset dial.
HOMAGE TO THE FIRST COLOR G-SHOCK MODELS
We have brought back the classic colors first used in the G-SHOCK 5600 line for the case and band, inspired by the concept of getting back home. The color scheme of the DW-5600C also includes accents to the dial. Blue, green, and all-black options offer clean, minimalist color choices.
CARBON CORE GUARD STRUCTURE
The shock-resistant structure unique to G-SHOCK protects the module, with a carbon fiber-reinforced resin case offering strength, lightness, and excellent weather resistance.
SOLAR POWER
Solar-powered timekeeping with Bluetooth® for enhanced accuracy and reliability
SUPER ILLUMINATOR
Super Illuminator (high-brightness double LED light) for maintaining watch readability in the dark

Enjoy our G-Shock GA-B2100 Watch Review
We are now witnessing a very simple but reliable CASIO marketing strategy — making up something new and then adding it to all possible favorite and popular G-SHOCK cases. DW-B5600 and today’s hero [GA-B2100] are a good proof of that because every representative has another brother with a basic and so familiar set of functions [DW-5600, GA-2100]. I would call this move very logical – technologies are improving, but to stay with a module from the 90’s is probably not the best prospect for the company’s development [although it could work for a long time]. And this way, we get a fresh, modern module in the beloved form, isn’t it a Japanese magic pill? Read Full Review →
What we like in GA-B2100 *comments by experts with 10 years experience in writing about Casio watches
— Carbon Core Guard structure (protects the module by enclosing it in a carbon case. The case is made of fine resin embedded with carbon fibers for outstanding strength and crack resistance)
— Tough Solar (CASIO’s original solar-charging system converts not only sunlight but also light from fluorescent lamps and other sources into power)
— G-SHOCK Connected App (you may manage all watch settings through your phone)
— 200-meter water resistance (good for swimming but not for deep diving)
