Casio GA-2100-1AER G-Shock Carbon Core Octagon Series Watch -Black

This is an excellent watch. It’s very clear to read and is light enough for you not to notice it’s on, whilst at the same time being sturdy and durable. I’ve had Casios since I was a child but always the cheaper digital ones, which I’ve always found to be excellent in their own right. They never come off my wrist as they’re durable and waterproof enough not to need to worry. This watch is no different. In fact, the G-shock is just an upgrade in that regard.My only reservation is with the tiny LCD display, which is too small for me to read in anything other than direct sunlight. This down to me eyes, but others will feel the same.The watch has every feature you’d need and none that you wouldn’t. The hands are clear to read with just a glance from any angle and they retain their luminosity through the night (although this isn’t bright) to enable you to tell the time without pressing the light button. This saves battery over the years and is welcome.I have 7” wrists and it doesn’t feel too big or too small - just nicely chunky. It’s low profile too, which means you don’t bash it on every door frame that you pass or snag it every time you take your top off.I replaced the strap as soon as I got it, to a NATO style strap, so I can’t comment on the qualities of the strap.Buy with the utmost confidence. This is excellent.

Sturdy, good looking watch….once I read up on how to adjust time/date etc, all very easy to reset

I have recently started getting in to watch collecting and this is one my favourites that I have. Easily gets the most amount of wrist time. Being a Casio you know it's going to be reliable. It looks fantastic and the white hour markers and hands really stand out against the black background. The watch being a G-Shock is going to be able to withstand knock after knock and of course is also waterproof. It's also extremely light and very very comfortable to wear. Setting the time is very simple using the world timer function. Out of the box it was set to Tokyo time but scrolling through the London was very quick and the hands then move themselves to the correct time!! Light is nice bright although I recommend changing it to 3 seconds from the default as it does not stay on while the button is being and in stead is timed. Can be a bit confusing navigating through all of the many functions at first but a quick YouTube will give you plenty of handy videos. Honestly cannot recommend these enough and if you've been thinking about getting one then I would say just go ahead and buy. You won't be disappointed!

This is my go-to watch for anything outdoorsy and physical - very easy to read due to the contrast between the white/grey hands and the dark backdrop. The digital display, although quite small, is handy and has a backlight which can be activated via the top-right button on the watch.It's quite large, but it looks great on my 7 inch wrist. If you've got a smaller wrist and are concerned about how it might look, you might like the GMA-S2100 series, which is a bit smaller.All in all, great watch, great value.

Smashing watch. Lives up to g shock build quality but in a slimmer build compared to other models.#Ignore the negative reviews about setting the time, they are talking nonsense. It is a doddle, and takes no time. Just accept this is a digital watch with an analogue display. Also saw negative reviews about no second hand. Well it is pretty clear there is no second hand so don't moan about it you muppet. Part of the charm and you don't miss it.Other than that, easy to read, even the small display is clear. lume is a bit weak, one to improve on to seiko standard and the light is functional at best but I love it. strap is very comfortable. then when you are ready get an aliexpress mod case and strap job, looks even better.

Brought as a Christmas present. Went down very well. £20 cheaper than elsewhere too.

Very happy with this G-shock watch. Good looking minimalist appearance, very light on the wrist. Digital readouts are small and the illumination duration could be longer but overall a good buy. Takes some to work out how all the features can be tweaked but it is pretty easy to synchronise accurately to the time signal. Lume on the hour indexes would be helpful too but a minor point. Recommended for the price.

The watch was perfect, sleek and not as large as the others in the collection which was perfect
