- Is the GA-B2100BNR-1A worth it over the standard GA-2100?
- Yes, if you want solar charging and Bluetooth time sync. The standard GA-2100 is cheaper but runs on a battery and needs manual time setting.
- Does it need a battery change?
- No. A solar cell under the dial charges a rechargeable cell, so normal light exposure keeps it running. In very dark storage it can still drain and need light to recover.
- Can I swim with it?
- Yes. It is rated to 20 ATM (200m), which covers swimming and snorkeling. Casio does not rate it for scuba diving.
- How does it compare with a metal G-Shock?
- It is lighter and slimmer, with a resin case and mineral glass instead of steel and sapphire. You trade some premium feel for comfort and a lower weight.
- Does it work with a phone?
- Yes, through the Casio Watches app on Bluetooth. It syncs time and lets you adjust settings from the phone, but it does not show notifications.
- What is in the box?
- The watch, a resin strap already fitted, and a manual. No charging cable is needed because it charges from light.
- Where is the Casio G-Shock (GA-B2100BNR-1A) cheapest?
- At First Class Watches, for $155.00, as of our latest check.
