This watch compliments my G Shock 5610 as ‘the other beater’ - I’m a fan of these solar G Shock watches which have various methods to set the time accurately, they always tell the proper time and the battery never needs changing so they are very low maintenance. However, I made the mistake of buying my last G Shock with a negative display; it has it’s charms and functional plus points but it’s not the easiest to read at a glance. so I sought to rectify these gripes with this watch.
This 2100 is great. Just as comfortable as the 5610, easier to read and just as low maintenance. I love that I can now put the date around the proper way, that the light can be ordered to stay on for longer and that the Bluetooth function makes setting the time and alarms etc very easy.
It’s not a classy watch, the lume is a bit rubbish but I know I can take it on holiday, set the local time, wear it in the pool, get it muddy and bashed and not get targeted by muggers for it.
This is the ideal everyday watch if you want a maintenance-free watch if you need something which just works. It’s even more useful if you have other watches you’d rather keep safe from scratches, moisture and bumps.
