Casio did something crazy with the new G-Shock GA-2300 

I love that Casio is trying new things! I like it!

I love the mix of simple yet complex design language. The X is really memorable. Right up my alley.

I have the 2100, now I want the 2300 after seeing all these great straps! nice video, thank you.

Love the mustard color pairing you did, looking forward to your review

Love the look of the 2300 band. That cement gray one is 🔥

The GA2000 had 24mm standard lugs about 5 years ago. It was followed by the 2100 which completely overshadowed it and relegated it to obscurity.

Love the design, there’s a symmetry that kind of works, but possibly makes the dial less legible. The strap options are a great feature. Love the videos.

Just received a black Casio Royale. Really great thing 🥰

Just the Watch, Subscribed because your videos always make me smile!

Recently ordered the white version with positive display. The nato does look good on it. I’ll consider getting one once it arrives. Thanks for the video.

Watch is gorgeous. Changing straps is awesome. Heres hoping to more models!

24mm lug width looks too wide for a 41mm case... When you had the 22mm strap on it looked much better proportioned.

That's cool, nice compact watch and plenty of options to play with

Gonna end up being an iconic design I reckon!

I almost thought those lugs were flexible. I still think positive displays are the way to go, and I'm betting a solar / Bluetooth model will follow next year.

Good review Dave

Negative, that gap and exposed spring bar would drive me crazy

Great vid! The new straps add a lot of fun to this Casio. Wish they were 42mm.

That digital display is unreadable, even in the excellent lighting of this video.

Not a fan of this model at all. I just can't unsee that giant X on the dial.

Nice watch liking the bigX i like the mustard colour strap looking good bro

The pumpkin color strap is beautiful

Thay looks amazing, i just love futuristic looking watch.

Love the grey one with the orange accents

I really like this but I wish it was slightly bigger. I have fairly big wrists and hands so the existing Casioak already looks a little small but just about works. As this is smaller, I'm not sure it's for me but it looks awesome and I'm very happy Casio are waking up to the strap compatibility.

This is super cool, I would buy a dw5600 with these lugs in 22mm. Nato on a g-shock without having to cut them to a custom fit is pretty cool

Thank you for this great review, all the strap colors look good on this casio, but in my personal opinion, all the straps should've come with black hardware, but that's just my personal opinion. Specially that last one, that mustard "nato" with black hardware would've knocked over the park. Love your channel. Keep up the good work .

Cool video. Thanks. I think the yellow was the winner

I’m hoping for a GM 2300. 🤞🏼 🤞🏼🤞🏼But 24mm? Why Casio why?! And yes, my OCD is unfortunately that strong. Looking forward to the full review! Dark brown for the win for me. 👍🏼

CND straps is the best! Great video 👏🏾

I love the look of this watch, its very sci fi, cyberpunk "mooncore" in the grey color.

awesome straps featured here

I’m looking forward to seeing this model with a positive LCD display.

I’m not sure about this watch, love the size, two minds about the lug bits and the X but I do like it overall, I’d definitely leave it on the strap it was born with but if I did swap then it would be the first black one you put it on, great vid 👍🏻

Amazing watch, the mustard strap is stunning.. where to get it from please?

Thanks for sharing Dave. In my opinion tiny negative display is a no go for me , the indices color should match with the hands as it's increase the legibility. So i still stick to my old rangeman👌

Hi, how was the CNS delivery, did it take a long time? I ordered wristbands two weeks ago and they still haven't arrived.🤷🏼 I stay in finland and I think the CNS operates in sweden, makes me wondering. Should have paid more to get a tracking.... 😞

Is this watch not for sale yet? I can't find in on Casio's website.

Thanks for the mini-review! I like that they've incorporated standard lugs into the watch, but I agree, they should have gone with 20mm or 22mm lugs so they could make them a little narrower so the lugs wouldn't flare out that far (in addition to being able to use straps in our current collecttions). Looks a little weird to me. My eyesight sucks, and these are unreadable for me. And I'm not a fan of that giant X on the dial. Nice watch, but I'll probably stick with my GA-2100.

Nice but why didn't use quick release straps?

The khaki brown strap fits the look the best.

I am in the US, and I am wondering if there was a good way/place to import watches from Japan, just looking to save a bit and maybe find something that’s a JDM product. Any suggestions?

khaki brown strap is *chef's kiss*

Hi Dave! I went for the pink one. (God have mercy on me when it arrives) I'm looking to get a black nato strap to make it mor sutle...if it is possible at all. :)

Where are the bands from?

Standard lug width and drilled lugs... definately moving in the right direction!!

Nice watch, I'll wait this one release in my country

Oooh! I see you jave math rocks. Are you into mini painting at all? I have the casioak with yhe gree accents and i want to paint yhe markers green. Jisy wondering if you've tried that at all.

The concept CasiOak!

A kore essentials strap would look good on this

What exactly the color of X in the middle?, sometimes i saw black, but some other angle i saw grey on one line of the X😅

Very cool 👏

Looks like a wolverine watch with the mustard. I like it

Where can I buy these straps ?

That new model with a fully lumed dials would be the best watch also im users there will be adaptors to reduced the width to 20

Appreciate the option to change straps, but I believe the 24mm lug width doesn’t compliment the design of the smaller dial.

That’s a cool watch ..never owned a g shock ..I own bucherer Royal Oak. Looks mega cool 👌

Where do you even buy the new CasiOak

available in the US?

You seem to have missed the GA-2000. 😉 But this one ist great, too.

What I always complaint about Casio lineup is the color of the dial and numbers/points.... they are always low contrast, so its very difficult to see in the too bright or too dark locations, or if I ride a motorcycle,,,,,, I can't see what hours is it

i like it ❤ it s small and has lugs and thin to have nato straps suiting it

Bummer love this way more than the 2100, wish it didn’t have a black screen though. And kinda wish it was 22mm lug so I could buy marathon bars (which I’ve found to be much better and stronger than the cheap bars you can find) but sadly they don’t make 24mm bars

I think it looks good but I am a little annoyed with the Sunday to Saturday week.

I am newbie on watch. Can anyone tell me why watch for field, forest and adventure mostly use resin for window crystal? I mean its easy to scratch than glass right?

How many mm is case diameter?

My casioak pulls on my hair, I just can’t use it. The rubber padding at the quick release is a culprit I think. Hope this one is more wearable for me

You don't need to shorten the parachute strap, just adjust it.

Send me the link for the yellow and black straps. Please 🙏 greetings from northeast India.

Nice video

You're in Casio land, someone also known as Japan. Could you make review about the G-Shock DW-H5600-1? Is it a really Apple Watch killer with its healthy features? Cheers, mate!

Love your discussion about Casio watches brother. BTW what's the Dial Size of this watch ?? G-Shock GA-2300.. I usually wear 38-39mm DIAL SIZE

I need a blue dial, red X, red bezel variant. 😉

This looks way better than the original one

I'm a bit sceptical about drilled lugs in a plastic/resin case. Probably the weakest part of the construction. Ofc it makes swapping the straps easier but after some years you probably have to buy a new case. Or a new watch. Still it's only around £100 so why not. 😃

It’s the size that puts me off. I have decent sized wrists and even the casioak looks abit lost on me 😢

X looks amazing

Finally, more Gshocks for men with thinner wrists.

It’s good but the OG casioak is the best one yet

This watch is polarizing😅 not sure to love or hate

why cant i get this watch in usa?

It is beautiful I like

I was sort of keen on this watch and I am a stapaholic but 24 mm non-tapered straps are not for me.😢

they did this before in the GA-2000, not the first time... the 2300 is hilariously small, lug size in totally to wide for the size of the watch...

Good product

Waiting for the metal knock off with a positive display, probably SKMEI.

Nice

i am that person who couldnt live withe the gap, although to get over it i have coloured in the spring bars in black to help

Looks like a flat simple version of GA-B001

Très belle montre 🤩🤩🤩

Don't like the giant X in the middle, nor the oversized lugs. The integrated straps make more sense, and i'd rather use a slim adapter if I want to use standard straps. Also negative displays aren't all that legible.

Perhaps an unpopular opinion, but I much prefer the dial design of the 2100 series. I'm not a fan of that chunky 'X' shape in the center, and the two digital displays at 3 o'clock and 6 o'clock look even less legible in this all-black colour variant than those in the all-black GA- and GAB2100 series. But those NATO straps are really cool! Cheers, //Rick

feels like an alpine eagle

Beautiful design, casio for me is the best durable watch in the world

Fun fact: The bond strap was not monochrom.

A seatbelt fabric is the way to go on a NATO strap.

I actually like the curved strap on g-shocks. It pitch the sides of your wrist so the bottom and the top feels slightly looser. Considering that everything that is moving is under the wrist, it feels way more comfy like this. This one is not for me.

I like it

Très belle montre

That big X would take a bit of getting used to. Mind you the digi display on the 2100 isn't exactly elegance personified
