Elegance need not be uncomfortable. Mens silver watches are sometimes bulky and difficult to wear throughout the day, but the G-SHOCK GM2100YM-8A combines the wafer-thin case of the G-SHOCK 2100 with the metallic luster of a silicone watchband and base metal bezel. With about half of the weight of a G-SHOCK full metal watch, this GM2100 offers unique comfort for a watch with a stainless steel bezel. Silicone watchbands provide a flex and ease of wear that other materials struggle to duplicate, and the silicone watchband of the GM2100YM-8A furthers G-SHOCK reputation for toughness and style.Over ten years in the making, the silicone watchbands in the Fine Metallic Series include layers of manufacturing technologies to give the band the level of protection expected in a G-SHOCK watch, the style to amaze, and the comfort to nearly forget you are wearing them. Silicone is known for its durability, and G-SHOCK took the material a step further, designing its silicone watchbands for superior flexibility, comfort, and strength. An abrasion-resistant urethane layer was added to the surface of the silicone. This urethane layer lies overtop and protects the metallic vapor deposition finish. Scratches to a metal watchband can be an eyesore for a timepiece, so the urethane layer ensures the GM2100YM-8A silver watch receives top-level protection. Peace of mind and comfort embedded in a metallic gleam - that is the beauty of the new silicone watchbands by G-SHOCK.
