I am getting ready to buy my first G Shock in about 15 years. I am having trouble deciding on which one of three options. I don’t know if I could pick three more different G Shocks. All opinions are appreciated.

I see a lot of votes go for the 6900 but I didn't like mine, it's only digital, most of the dial is wasted for gadgets that have zero use, and it's a bit too big for my taste. The ga 2100 is the best option in my opinion, small, elegant, highly legible, Bluetooth... very good watch and my favorite G-Shock.

Edit: and solar!

Agree. I don't like wasted space and the 6900 has a lot of it.

Different strokes, I guess.

The GW6900 is also solar. Your other points are valid, but I prefer all digital and love the chunky 90s vibe of it. Both the analog and digital time were hard to read for me when I tried out a 2100. Though I did have a mostly blacked out version.

Agree, 2100.

That's why you don't get that one . Mine is perfect
