About this deal

EU VAT registered companies may choose to remove the VAT by providing us with their VAT registration number at checkout. And then I held it in my hands and felt the bizarrely refined finishing, the familiar feel of the classic Casio lines between my fingers but in metal for the first time (in my experience). Size-wise they look identical, but that slight decrease in case diameter seems to mean the cutouts for the buttons is just better on the steel version. I’m a big fan of some of the G-SHOCK lineup, and if you follow me on Instagram, this won’t come as any surprise.

The G-Shock GA-2100 was launched in 2019 and quickly reached classic status in just a few years, achieving a place alongside such long-running models like the DW-5600 from the ’80s, the DW-6900 from the ’90s, and the GA-110 from the ’10s. I love mine and, having had the GM-2100 in my hand and on my wrist, will certainly consider adding a metal variation to the stable. Casio offers both analogue and digital watches for men and women in a variety of styles and colours, perfect for everyday wear, sportswear and more adventurous activities.

The sides of the bezel, the case middle, and the lugs are all part of the monoblock forged bezel construction (on top of shock-absorbing glass fiber reinforced resin inner case for maximum shock resistance) and have been given a mirrored finish that contrasts with the matte surface of the bezel.

G-Shock’s GM2100 series combines the company’s popular octagonal case design, with a new premium metal-clad construction. Once a necessity, now increasingly eclipsed by smartphones -- watches are more like a showpiece these days. The daily alarm, in which an acoustic signal sounds at the set time, reminds you of daily recurring events. This concept was realized with a rock-solid design that looked almost like it was carved out of a single block of resin, removing everything non-essential. Distilling the very essence of the original DW-5000 design, the watch introduces a reconstructed form that is sure to integrate smoothly with contemporary lifestyles and fashion.This meant nothing short of creating a new standard-bearer for G-SHOCK, re-envisioned from the vantage point of the brand’s beginnings, now some 30 years after the AW-500’s debut. Watches marked with water tightness 200M/20ATM are designed for swimming, snorkeling, and for diving with breathing apparatus. With more than 40 years’ experience in the UK watch market, Casio is currently enjoying a period of unprecedented growth. Amongst the many functions featured on the watch are alarms, a day and date, an LED backlight, a dual time and a stopwatch functions alongside a world timer. With its shock resistance and water resistance, this watch can withstand the rigors of daily wear and various activities.

Yes, the kits may have a different look and more options currently, but you do pay quite a premium for this, so you really need to want that look to make it worthwhile. On the wrist, I expected the 44 mm diameter to be cumbersome and a bit too large for my wrist and personal taste, but in reality, the case feels more like a 40 or 42 mm, primarily because the hinges on the left and right sides of the case add to the diameter but don’t make the watch wear as large as the dimensions suggest. Clearpay lends you a fixed amount of credit so you can pay for your purchase over 4 instalments, due every 2 weeks.When I say “resemblance” I mean that if you happened to walk into a poorly lit room and spot a watch on the wrist of someone standing ten yards away, you might be able to mistake one model for the other. The watch is powered by battery two SR726W batteries, with an estimated life of 3 years on regular use and conditions.
