    Casio GA2100 all black - any owners yet?

    Trying to pick one of these up in all black is next to impossible! Anybody own one yet? Web photo.

    Yes looks great , wouldn't mind one myself. It seems Casio UK don't have them back in stock yet even only the red. H Samuel have the black with white indices , but the stealth version looks cooler

    I have the one with white indices and hands. The all-black is very cool, but I wanted a practical beater on which I could read the time easily.

    It wears very nicely and I like the Casi-Oak design.

    £100 mark up on the RRP. Who do they think they are...... Watchfinder?

    Why do Casio insist on stupid reversed lcd displays? I see they’re now making the hands impossible to read too, very stealth! - on the plus side I like the look of them, but if I can’t tell the time it’ll just sit in the box!

    The black/white one is a nice watch ... here's mine, with size comparison to the GW-M5610BC-1ER ... on a 6.5" wrist ...

    Thanks for the comparison, super useful. It isn’t a small watch, is it?!

    I have all all black version. Picked it up in Bangkok. It was their ex display model and the last one in store so thought I'd give it a go. For £100 I'm very happy. It's much more wearable everyday than most other G Shocks and I've had a few people at work as me what it is.

    Bearing in mind the 5600 is a small watch by most standards, it looks pretty small to me. Admittedly not in that shot, but on an average to large watch - they wear small

    It's quite wide. I was surprised by that when I got mine as it somehow looks smaller in photos. It's quite thin for a G-Shock though, so it wears quite well and doesn't look massive. I've also got the white markers version and it's very readable, as you might expect. The digital LCD is almost impossible to see though, sadly. I'm hoping they produce more colour variants in the future with a better contrasting display. The unusual shape of that display is actually the main reason I bought mine, so I want to be able to see it, rather than have it blend in all stealthy like.

    As an aside, I'm not sure exactly which different compounds of plastic Casio use for their straps but I find this one to be the least comfortable and most sweat-inducing, but that just might be because it wears a bit more snugly than my others.

    Had mine for around a month, gets a lot of wear on the weekends while out and about doing bits with the family.

    Wears really well and the shallow height helps it slip under jumpers etc with ease.

    Legibility isn't the best, I find the mineral glass picks up a lot of reflection so can need a slight adjustment of the wrist to clearly see the dial.

    Hadn't worn anything quartz in years, love that I can grab this on Saturday morning during the mad rush to get to kids swimming classes and not worry about setting the time. Being a two hander disguises it's quartz as there's no visual 'tick'

    You should be able to sign up for stock alert emails on the UK GSHOCK site when it comes back into stock.

    That's not bad, but I paid £77.50 for mine from an Amazon marketplace seller a few weeks ago. For anyone looking for the absolute best price and not just in a rush to find one in stock, setting up an alert on camelcamelcamel is probably a good idea. I expect by this time next year it won't be uncommon for these to be going on sale for around £50, after the hype dies down a bit.

    Hey - long time no speak - how are you?

    Thank you for taking the trouble to post about this, Alan. I’ll take your advice and look no more. Now I just need my refund!

    Quietly pottering about in the country and not contributing to too many forums. 🙂

    Had to chip in here though, to mollify your disappointment. You wouldn’t have kept the watch for long.
