G-SHOCK’s Multicolor GA-B2100 Series Unveils Retro Case Design Decorated With Confetti-Inspired Accents
The season’s party-safe watch.
G-SHOCK’s GA-2100 series is back with three monochromatic watches. Coined “Multicolor Accents,” the new range references the retro look and feel of the GA-B2100, adopting the signature GA-2100 octagonal case design and a streamlined band harkening back to the 1983 DW-5000C. The GA-B2100FC-7A (white), GA-B2100FC-1A (black) and GA-B2100FC-3A (green) are decorated with confetti-inspired accents along the bezel inlay, dial components and index markings for an eye-catching look.

This latest release is a playful ode to festival and party culture. But even as the holidays round the corner, G-SHOCK stays true to its built-to-last philosophy, adding subtle sprinkle-like accents to the utility-centric GA-2100 lineup. Paired with a minimalist case and strap, pops of green, blue, red and yellow adorn the octagonal bezel, and hits of color appear at the dial and indices. Its compact and slim wrist feel pays homage to the GA-2100 line, known for inheriting the iconic, shock-resistant componentry of the DW-5000C. Using these reference points as a launch pad, the Multicolor models showcase livelier interpretations of the brand’s design language — playful and rugged, all the same.
All three models deploy analog-digital functionality and proprietary Carbon Core Guard structure. Powered by Tough Solar, the watches benefit from a solar-charging system using fluorescent and natural light sources to charge the internal battery, and when stored in dark environments, an automated Power Saving function to conserve battery life and energy output. Through Smartphone Link, Bluetooth capabilities allow wearers to customize settings and more through G-SHOCK’s mobile app. A built-in Super Illuminator LED provides all-over visibility and an afterglow feature on the digital display. Familiar features return to each model, like world time in 38 zones, a 1/100-second stopwatch, a countdown timer, five daily alarms and a full-auto calendar.
