The Grape Jelly Casioak? Casio G-Shock GMA-S2100SK-4AER Watch Review
My friends have started thinking that I'm obsessed with Casioaks, but my wife might actually be the one. It's the only type of watch that she'll wear regularly, and I like to buy them for her, so when she sent me an Instagram post with a "heart eyes" emoji of this new clear purple model, I had to order one.

Can You Swap Modules Between a Resin and Metal Casioak? - My Attempt to Make a Metal Solar Bluetooth Casioak
In my recent review of the solar and Bluetooth "Casioak," I said that it was nearly my perfect spec G-Shock, but that it lacked the high-end feel of my blue metal GM2100N-2A. I bought a blue resin solar/BT model to swap modules and create my dream Casioak. Read the article to find out what happened!

The Casioak Goes Solar and Bluetooth! Has Casio Made My Dream G-Shock? GAB2100C-9A Watch Review
When I reviewed the original Casioak, I said "to make this my perfect G-Shock, it would have solar charging, and atomic clock sync" but I was worried that adding those features would make the watch thicker and heavier. Well, the latest Casioak models do have solar charging, although instead of atomic sync, they have Bluetooth connectivity. Has this made it the perfect G-shock? Read the review to find out!

Metal Casioak Watch Review and Comparison to the Resin Models, Plus How to Get Them at a Discount - GM2100N-2A and GMS2100PG-1A vs. GA2110ET-2A and...
One of my initial takeaways from the first green Casioak that I reviewed (and one that I did a giveaway with), was that I loved the look and the dimensions, but I wished that G-Shock would bring it upmarket. Well, the brand hasn't yet made the solar atomic version that I wished for (yet), but it has released a number of metal versions that bring the line up a notch in quality and price. In order to see how they stack up, I purchased two of the new metal models to wear and compare to the resin models. I even managed to get them at a discount (more on that later)!

Original vs. Midsize "Casioak" Watches: Is the GMAS Only For Women? - Casio G-Shock GAMAS2100 vs. GA2100 Watch Review
It's been over a year since I originally reviewed the Casio G-Shock GA2110SU (also known within watch collecting circles as the "Casioak"). I would have thought by now that supply would have caught up with demand, but many of the colors are still often sold out. Unsurprisingly, Casio has continued to capitalize on the popularity of the series by releasing a new line of slightly smaller Casioaks. The watches are marketed as being for women, but in my opinion, some (or all) of the colors could also be worn by a man with a smaller wrist, or just one who prefers smaller sized watches.

Hands-on with the new gray Casioak, plus the all red and updates on the market. Casio G-Shock GA2110ET-8A Watch Review
If you read my recent review of the Casioak, you'll know that it's one of the hottest watch releases of recent years. As with my green "Utility Color" Casioak, I managed to snag a gray one right before they sold out. I also borrowed the red one from a friend to do a little hands-on comparison.
