There’s just one big caveat to the GA series (new and old): the exclusion of proper LCD panel backlight illumination. Imagine a timepiece like this but busted for only having a tiny six o-clock light which is pretty much useless in night time illumination (even for the analog panel). Absolutely disappointing and problematic approach!!
GA-2100 has a backlit LCD.

The GA-2100 may be an exception, but not everyone likes its minimalist design.
If only Casio follows the GA-2100 design route and adopts the backlit LCD feature (ie. dual illumination) to the rest of the three-digit GA models……
Yeah that would be ideal if it was implemented in all analog-digital models. Other than the GA-2100, the GR-B100, GST-B200, GST-B300 are the only analog-digital models I can think of that have a true backlit LCD display (but some of the other dual LED light setups are effective).

If you are just talking about dual lights with one for the LCD display (and not a true backlit LCD), the GA-800 offers that.
