Our take on the Casio G-Shock GA-2300-4A Wristwatch

The Casio G-Shock GA-2300-4A is a slim analog-digital G-Shock in a purple resin case and strap with a black dial. At 11.6 mm thick and 49 g it is one of the thinner, lighter G-Shocks, so it slips under a sleeve more easily than the chunky 2100 and 110 series. It keeps the core G-Shock package: shock resistance, 200-meter water resistance, dual time, five daily alarms, a 1/100-second stopwatch and a countdown timer. It suits people who want a tough everyday watch with a street-style look and don't need solar power or Bluetooth.
