The GA-2100 inherits the design concept of the original G-SHOCK, maintaining its octagonal form while incorporating smartphone linking and Tough Solar technology. To accommodate the increased number of components due to enhanced functionality, a newly developed slim module optimizes the circuit board layout. Combined with a carbon core guard structure, it retains the size feel of previous models. The colors of the blue, green, and yellow case and band revive the "first color" first adopted in the 5600 series. The blue, green, and all-black models feature a minimalistic color scheme.
