The GA-2100 is the slimmest G-SHOCK watch in production. Wearers get the assurance of G-SHOCK’s legendary hardiness in a thin watch at just 11.8mm in thickness. It’s not paper-thin, but thin enough considering its G-SHOCK fundamentals of hollow, multi-part case construction including a carbon core that shields the module from external shocks and water pressure up to depths of 200 meters.
In addition, the styling of the GA-2100 is much more compatible to a wider range of everyday circumstances than the typical G-SHOCK that likes to be in mud, scaling cliffs, and generally laughing off a nasty beating. The GA-2100 has the resilience to weather the worst, yet gone are the hulking bezels and crown guards, and in their place is design that is much more subdued, urbane, and with the added benefit that the analog display with hands and indexes is much more legible than a calculator screen.
Indeed, GA-2100 unites the design of the first G-SHOCK (the DW-5000, its bezel shape a squared octagon), with that of G-SHOCK’s first analog model (the AW-500). As such, the GA-2100 sports a more pronounced octagon bezel with round dial face, and hybrid analog-digital display, with day subdial.
