The gbx 100 is so much better/cooler than the GBD 200 bc it looks nicer with the metal bezel, and softer more breathable band for designed to withstand sweat and saltwater (it's a surfer watch). Also has cooler surfer related menus with nifty graphics and is also MiP display. It's a bit more expensive tho but well worth it imo just for the comfort and looks.
I have both the GBD-200 and -300, purchasing the 200 first. Found the 300 on eBay for a great price and picked it up. Since then, the 200 has done nothing but occupy a space in my Casio box. The round case just looks so much better to me.
I have both. Bought the GBD200 when I didn’t know the GBX100 existed. Was looking for a watch with a tide function and found the 100. They are very similar watches except for the moon/tide feature. The 100 is a much nicer looking watch for day to day wear too. If I knew of it before 200 I wouldn’t have the 200
I have the 300 because it was cheaper at the time, but I think in the dark colour the 200 looks better (the two tone doesn't work as well IMO)
The first one-GBD-200 is better. The screen is more flush with the case and has a slightly better viewing perspective. Unless you live near the beach and surf, you won't use the Tide function of the GBX-100. A positive MIP version is coming out this month.

I love the GBD200 for simple tracking and great if you don’t care about heart rate or more advanced metrics. https://preview.redd.it/95590tentt8g1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=47088cdf5da22bb6c987a75ffe262c26993285e1
Gym, running, wedding, world war 3, zombie outbreak , trip to Mars ..... GBD 200 will not disappoint...
Simply for running and gym, gbd 200. If you're running on the beach, go the 100 route. The metal bezel may ad some durability, but at that point, I would ask what you are doing in the gym and on those runs, that you'll need the extra durability?
