Fake Casio G-Shock GA-100 from Amazon! GA-100CF-1A9ER - Beware! 

Anthony W it’s original then

The original says "G-SHOCK"

😆

Its probably for your ankle

@@unclesam6764 good one 😄

even f91ws are faked

My thoughts exactly

They probably make the fakes for $10 so there's a huge amount of profit in it.

I own a few beautiful and expensive watches, but often travel to some dodgy parts of the world. When I’m doing that I use G-Shock, no one wants to steal a G-Shock. They’re also a great motorcycle piece (I wrecked a Breitling coming off a bike) and for any time you’re likely to cause damage. Although I still see them as throwaways I change the batteries every 3 years and the two I have now are 9 and 7 years old respectively. As a tool to do a job they’re great, but as a watch lover I still love the engineering and detail in my Rolex and Omega watches. My two G-Shocks are the same as the two in this video because I prefer the analogue hands, but the fake market in these is absolutely huge, margins are smaller for the fakers, but getting caught is less likely too.

@@johnhill8529 Hi John I also own and Rolex and a Omega and if i am totally honest, I have never worn either since buying them. Both watches are uber expensive and I would live in constant fear of being mugged. I suppose if i am honest, there really is not point in owning them. I have a few casio's now but my daily wear watch is a Suunto core.

Same...first i thought i bought the fake cuz of that but since i read this i thibk this is not fake cuz everything work and i bang it but it didnt move

Eyyy :D

Thanks, have watched your videos in the past, cheers!

My says Casio Vietnam (GA110) and it is completely original but I have never seen any watch having Vietnam written on them .

@@ssinfinity1375 casio builds there watches in alot of places

i Agree

My fake GA110 does same as original when pressing A,C, D in same time. It shows everything on display like original and also, small pointer working like second hand.

@@krisdzons Where can I buy that fake g shock. I ve looked on amazon and cant find it.

I know higher end casios are made in Japan, but I believe its only the movement in the GA-100 that's Japanese made. I could be wrong of course!

My gwg1000 says Casio Japan.

i bought a GA1100-1a and says Casio Japan in the buckle. the back says japan movement.

My G Shock G-100 "Japan Move'T Y", "Cased in China", Buckle "Casio Thailand"

@BIG CHUNGUS well that's because you bought it from Japan, if you buy from any other countries only the highest end g shocks say casio japan, others say casio thailand or china

🤦🏾if you buy a g shock for 9.50 then you should know your getting a fake

From which amazon seller did you buy?

@@brendanr1525 SNDGroup

Yes, they will fake anything it seems! They even fake the classic F-91W which is only about £7 for a genuine one! Madness... But people buy them not knowing I suppose, until they realise it looses a few minutes a month!

@@sparkie21 Yeah I've seen plenty of those. The thing about these people counterfeiting merchandise, it may be a cheap watch, we can pick up the F-91W for around $10 or a little less in the US. But they aren't selling just one watch. They're selling tens of thousands of them. If you're spending all of $2 to have a watch built in basically what amounts to a sweatshop for electronics, and you advertise it for $6, there's a lot of profit to be made over the long haul... Because who doesn't want a $10 iconic watch for $6? If you're only going to make a few, then why bother? But, if you're going to make many thousands, then why not? Now ramp that up and start making A-168 clones too. But that one you're going to sell for $11 instead of the going price of around $18. But, it doesn't cost you any more to make the 168 than it does the 91. You can manufacture any middle of the road watch for $2. Now ramp that up again and start making G-Shocks. They cost a little more to make though... Let's just say $8-$10 each. Ok, let's go with $10 lol. Doesn't matter because there's still tons of profit to be made. Lots of people have had their eyes on that $180 G-Shock that does everything but give head, and you're in just the position to sell it to them. For the steeply discounted price of... $70. Thousands and thousands and thousands of times.

90% original G-shock assemble in China , the rest is assemble in 8 other country including thailand and vietnam. only minor percentage is really made in Japan but it was not sold worldwide, the code for Japan is 1JF or JDM this is pure made in japan , assemble and crafted in japan.

Homage? Why bother their cheap as anyway!

Yes, don't know what they did though, the seller is still on Amazon with feedback from other buyers of fake watches, however they currently have nothing on their storefront.

As of now, the link doesn't go anywhere, so Amazon most likely terminated the account. No big deal to them. They've probably got dozens of inactive accounts just waiting to be fired up so they can continue business as usual.

Yep. I've seen that rumor all over the webz about not being made in Japan. Pure fiction. Casio manufactures their entire product line all over East and Southeast Asia. From what I can gather, it seems that certain factories manufacture watches that are to be shipped to and sold in certain regions. But yes, looking at the underside of the buckle in no way distinguishes a genuine product from a fake. The best way to tell is by using a specific key sequence to alter the display. Some are ABC sequence, and some are ABD sequence. When you press the appropriate sequence simultaneously, the whole digital displays shows all segments lit up. Then, depending on whether yours used the C or the D key, after you releases all buttons and while the screen still has all segments lit, press the key that yours used up to three times. What shows up next is the three or four digit module number. You'll need your instruction manual for the next step because sometimes Casio will build the same watch with multiple different module numbers, all of which will be listed on the front page of your instruction manual. For example: I have a Casio AE-1200, module 3299. My sequence is to press ABD simultaneously. After the display is showing all segments lit, I release all three keys and then press the D key three times. The display now reads 3198. But my watch has module 3299, which is obviously wrong. On the cover of my manual, right across the top in bold print, it says "Module No. 3198 3299", which means that Casio used two different modules in this model. As long as you get that three or four digit code, and it matches one of the numbers on your manual, you're good. I have six different Casio model numbers, starting with the most spartan of their digital line, the F-91W, all going all the way up to and including Twin Sensor and G-Shock models. This multiple simultaneous button press method works to confirm on all of their models, and so far, none of the fakes are capable of doing this. My G-Shock DW5600 uses ABC, module 3229. It shows up on the display, battery cover and on the manual, so it's guaranteed authentic.

@@sped6954 Nice!

Bio-plasmic Toad true, I have JAPAN on the buckle of my ga100, and they are 100% original.

You are extremely correct. I have the same as yours & I also have a ga110 & both made in Japan. I actually bought em in Japan.

I have a Rangeman that says made in Australia

GUnit2214 Hehe, trust me the genuine one has been bashed all over the place and never budged!

If you're buying off Amazon for $100, $30 off the original price, you think you're saving $30 but you're wasting $80 on a fake watch only worth $20 in hardware.

G shock is the most bang on the buck watch compares to most of the Swiss made watches. Not wanting to pay full price to Casio just shows you are a cheap skank, nothing more.

I also want to know this! It looks great.

When I bought mine I registered it online no problems

how were you able to verify?

by pressing adjust, mode, and forward at the same time and it does like a little animation on the screen of the G shock watch

I have the same color too, unfortunately mine is fake. The time cant be adjusted backwards damn it.

Anyone "Else" notice you can't spell?

Same

yep battery needs replacing mine was doing same thing replaced the battery and now works fine

@@mattdodds4409 Thanks a lot. I figured as much but appreciate you reinforcing my thought!

Sure did, thanks!

No most ga100 models don’t have glow in the dark hands i am pretty sure Edit: this video should show you what features your watch has, it is really detailed I recommend it ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-stqKYO2Tm_8.html

Really? I got a couple of automatic Seiko's, been really good!

@@sparkie21 hi I found this one, it's very nice colour and I was thinking of getting it until I saw your video, but here's the link to the amazon page, I just want to be sure from you that it's ok to buy this one Casio G-Shock Mens Analogue-Digital Watch www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B079ZD17DK/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_apa_glt_fabc_VRXMHCCNMQW5H9A98Z99

Thanks, yes I sent it back.
