When I left for Japan, I did so knowing that if I was to spend any significant money on a watch, it would be a G-SHOCK. I made a quick list of six models I wanted to try, but didn’t build in stopping at a G-SHOCK store along the way. As luck would have it, we found time to swing into a G-SHOCK store where I proceeded to graze about the store, circling back on this GMC-B2100D several times before trying both color dials on, and selecting the black dial variant.
I’ve been wearing it often since then, and I’ve come to the feeling that this is one of those watches which does so much so well, that I would not bat an eye at someone saying this is their only watch. It is certainly my favorite of all the G-SHOCKs I own and have owned. All metal, analog, but with a touch of smartness — this is quite something. And quite shiny.
