The only point of my review is to highlight two changes Casio made that justified the purchase of this model. Among the other G-Shock models, I was drawn to the "nardo" gray: it brings a techno feel to the watch, and it's a nice change from black, not to mention the flashy colors of some models, which are so painful to the eyes. Moreover, this GA-2300 model also comes in a blinding fluorescent pink-fuchsia, in black, in white, and in this gray, which I find by far the most beautiful, and which pairs well with the orange hands. The dial is black. From a distance, it looks very minimalist: gray strap and case, black dial, and only the two orange hands. Up close, it's maximalist: an X right in the middle of the dial, three windows: one for the date, one for the seconds, and one analog window at 9 o'clock for the days. This aperture isn't at the same level as the two digital dials, which aren't at the same height as the X, which sits below the hands. This relief, combined with a brightness that also varies depending on the "layer," results in a dial that changes significantly in appearance depending on the distance and brightness. Otherwise, we find the usual functions of "mid-range" G-Schools. I particularly like the time zone change: you select the city, first the hands move apart for easier reading, then they move, a very pleasant ballet. I regret that the white LED isn't very bright and that the Super Illuminator is actually very average. Now for the two points that, in my opinion, make all the difference: with a case measuring 45.4mm in diameter and 11.6mm thick, the watch is much smaller than other models, the GA-2100 series for example. It's a joy to wear; the dimensions are perfect, and it's very light and comfortable. And this is even more evident with the second evolution: I don't know if this is the first time from G-Schock, but here the strap isn't attached to the case: the lugs are equipped with spring bars that allow the strap to rotate freely, which considerably improves comfort. Once on, the watch is perfectly flat, making it easy to slip into a case. Above all, changing the strap is easy. It was clear that I wasn't going to keep the resin strap and opt for an orange leather strap. I was lucky enough to find a 24mm alligator "solo" strap at ABP. These straps are available in a single copy and are made from scrap leather, meaning they are offered at unbeatable prices at this level of manufacturing. It cost me 75 euros. I was able to choose the lug width, the length, and the buckle. I opted for the black PVD one. I think the choice of a leather strap makes sense with a watch with hands. From a distance, it looks like a classic watch; that's its analog side. Up close, you'll discover a digital watch packed with features, always on time, and virtually unbreakable. The best of both worlds.
