G-Shock By Casio Men's Analog-Digital GA2100-1A1 Watch Black

The G-Shock by Casio Men's Analog-Digital GA2100-1A1 Watch in Black is one of G-Shock's most popular and iconic recent releases, affectionately dubbed the "Casioak" by fans due to its octagonal bezel reminiscent of a luxury timepiece. It's renowned for blending a slim, minimalist design with G-Shock's signature toughness.

Here's a full detail breakdown of the GA2100-1A1:

Design and Construction:

• Case and Bezel: The GA2100-1A1 features a unique Carbon Core Guard structure. This innovative construction integrates a highly rigid fine resin reinforced with carbon fiber, which not only makes the watch incredibly strong and shock-resistant but also allows for a significantly slimmer and lighter profile compared to many other G-Shocks. The octagonal bezel and case are entirely black, giving it a sleek, stealthy, and modern look.
• Band: It comes with a black resin band, known for its comfort, flexibility, and durability, secured with a traditional buckle clasp.
• Dial: The dial is a "blackout" analog-digital display, where both the analog hands and the digital display blend into the black background for a monochromatic aesthetic. The hour markers are raised and dimensional, adding depth. The hands feature a luminous coating (Neobrite) for low-light visibility, though the negative LCD display can be challenging to read in dim conditions without the backlight.
• Color Scheme: This model is entirely black, from the case and bezel to the dial and band, offering a versatile and understated look that can be dressed up or down.
• Size & Weight: One of its major selling points is its relatively compact size for a G-Shock.
  • Case size (L× W× H): 48.5 × 45.4 × 11.8 mm
  • Weight: 51 g (extremely lightweight due to the Carbon Core Guard)
• Glass: Mineral Glass, offering good scratch resistance.
