When G-SHOCK comes to mind, many immediately envision their extremely popular, octagonally shaped 2100 series. That line continues to be a cornerstone of modern G-SHOCK. So much so that the brand has continued to evolve both it's design and feature set. And with this latest iteration, we now have what is arguably the best 2100 yet.
This new GBM2100 line features a forged, cut, and polished steel bezel covering a glass fiber-reinforced resin inner case that protects the 5729 module inside. To enhance its appearance, a hairline finish is applied to the top surface and a mirror polish on the sides. The diameter is now 44.4mm, the lug-to-lug length 49.3mm, and the thickness only 11.9mm; new measurements lower that now lead to a more compact watch. All while remaining highly shock-resistant and water-resistant up to 20 bars.
Its standard watch features from the 5729 module inside include world time, stopwatch, timer, multiple alarms, calendar, and multiple lighting capabilities. Bonus smartphone features are mobile link via Bluetooth, auto time adjustment, easy watch setting, approximately 300 world time cities, time and place, reminders, and phone finder. With all of this being powered by light, so there are no battery changes.
The Windup Watch Shop offers the GBM2100 in three colors; black or metallic vapor deposition in blue or green, each complemented by a band made of environmentally responsible bio-based resin.

G-SHOCK was born from a simple idea — a watch should not break when dropped. Back in 1983, the original square-shaped DW-5000C was created after Kikuo Ibe witnessed a child bouncing a rubber ball. It struck him that a watch floating within a rubber case would be impervious to shocks. After a bunch of testing and design with toughness in mind, the brand was born. Nearly 35 years and hundreds of models later, G-SHOCK is still best known for being some of the toughest, hard-wearing watches that money can buy.
