Story An elegant, solar-powered G-Shock that’s ready for any adventure under the sun The process of selecting a watch can often feel like an exercise in weighing trade-offs. Go with a classic analog timepiece, and you’ll give up the stopwatch, timer, and alarms. Go with a digital that stores dozens of split times, and it might seem too casual for the office or nights out. And the options that link to your smartphone, while useful, almost always need to stay within reach of a charger. That’s why we love this new GA-B2100. It compresses all the functionality you’d want from a Bluetooth-connected digital watch into an elegantly simple analog silhouette with all of the toughness G-Shock is known for. Plus, it runs on a solar-power battery so you never have to worry about running out of time.
