Casio G-Shock GA-2100 Series Analog-Digital Black Resin Watch 48.5mm - GA2100-1A

The 'CasiOak': G-Shock toughness in a slim octagonal case — Carbon Core Guard, 200-meter water resistance, and just 51 grams.

The GA-2100-1A takes the octagonal bezel of the original 1983 G-Shock and rebuilds it around a Carbon Core Guard structure — a carbon-fiber-reinforced resin case that protects the module while keeping the watch slim at 11.8 mm thick and light at 51 grams.

It is shock resistant with 200-meter water resistance, an analog-digital display, and a battery rated for approximately 3 years. World time covers 31 time zones, and the watch includes a 1/100-second stopwatch, countdown timer, five daily alarms, a Double LED light, and a full auto-calendar to the year 2099.
