    Thoughts on "Casioak" G's?

    I want to add a 2nd G that is not metal and could be worn around town on a casual Saturday out with ease. If one has better WR, that matters to. It will see beach and pool time.

    General thoughts on them?

    Suggestions on some conservative colourways?

    I am open to new or pre-owned, so do not mark discontinued models off

    Thanks

    The Casiooak GA-2100 is one of the smaller Gs, roughly like the 5600.
    The readability of the hands is fine, the negative LCDs are garbage.
    Antoher watch to consider is the GA-100 with positive display, somewhat larger but much better LCD.

    The ga2100 is the most uncomfortable G I've ever bought. So I got jaysandkays adaptors for it and with a nylon strap it's one of my favorites now.
    The ga100 is a good choice also.

    Think it's a bit of a hmm must have going around but hmmm most get flip quick.. ant had one yet at some point will probably see a fixer upper and take a closer look but ... Had loads of g i fix and flip so the only ones i have keep are these

    I bling a 5600



    then this one the model number is hmm can't think right now 2300 or some such .



    then the good old dw6900 not to be confused with was it the gx6900 a lot bigger and more unconfutable can find pics of the one I had if asked. flip that one . in fav of the smaller dw6900...





    now I buy / sell repair g shocks ..the good one I think well two come to mind

    the ga 100 as meationed and fix flipped and modd a fair few can show pics if wanted ?

    and the dw9052 it has one of the best modules of that time even to be able to set a one of alarm at any point from now to 2099 which I thought cool ...

    think affordable is a big point for g shocks so higher end hmmm not really my thing

    The Casioak models appeal to me, being ani/digi and they appear to be what I consider "Saturday out with family" perfect. It is just hard to figure out all the models!

    just watch out for the fakes theirs quite a few out their I flag three sellers this morning on them ....

    they are fun but just for me not a keeper it's like a timex re-issue every one gets wrapped up in them but then they quick loose appeal

    Aren't all G's just rated 200m? That would mean one parameter less to mind.
