Casio has announced the upcoming release of the DQD-851J-8JF desk clock, which will be available in Japan starting October 25. This clock, with a retro design inspired by the A158 digital wristwatch, captures the familiar shape and vintage style.
While it retains the nostalgic look, the DQD-851J-8JF offers several interesting features. Unlike the wristwatch, this desk clock includes a Wave Ceptor function for automatic time adjustment within Japan, ensuring accurate timekeeping. It also has a built-in thermometer and hygrometer, providing useful information about the environment.
Other key features include a customizable snooze alarm with five sound levels, a 12/24-hour format, a full auto calendar, and a clear display of the date and day. The clock also comes with an amber LED light that provides a soft afterglow for better visibility in low-light conditions.
Measuring 102 x 117 x 48 millimeters and weighing 185 grams, the DQD-851J-8JF runs on two AA batteries, which are expected to last about one year.
It’s worth noting that the Wave Ceptor function is designed for use in Japan, where it picks up radio time signals. In other countries, this feature may not work due to different radio transmitters, though the clock can still be used without it. The table clock is available for pre-order in Japan for ¥4,378.
In other news, Casio is releasing two new G-Shock Full Metal models this October: the GM-B2100SD-1A and GMC-B2100ZE-1A. The GM-B2100SD-1A offers a hybrid analog-digital display, Bluetooth connectivity, solar charging, and enhanced readability with a darker grey background. The GMC-B2100ZE-1A, celebrating Casio’s 50th anniversary, features a black ion-plated bezel with gold accents, Bluetooth, and solar charging, blending a sleek aesthetic with G-Shock’s signature ruggedness.
