The publication Great G-Shock World recently published a report claiming that Casio is set to release a new Barbie-themed G-Shock watch in February. The model, identified as GMA-S110BE, GMA-S110BE-4A, or GMA-S110BE-4AJR, is based on the popular GMA-S110 series and is expected to be a limited edition. Now, Jebsen, an authorized Casio retailer in Hong Kong has confirmed the existence of the lineup and has also hinted at the release timeline.
A marketing page indicates that users can register for a draw to purchase the watch starting February 10th, with an estimated shipping date of February 24th. The watch is priced at HK1,580 (US$204) in Hong Kong. It remains unclear in which other markets the watch will be available and what the pricing will be in those regions.
As for the watch itself, the showcased GMA-S110BE-4A features a mostly pink design, with different shades used on the face, casing, and strap. The watch includes Barbie branding and a heart-shaped detail on the speed indicator dial, matching the playful style of the Barbie brand.
In terms of features, the GMA-S110BE is a hybrid digital-analog watch. It supports 29 time zones and has an automatic calendar that works until 2099. It also includes a stopwatch, a countdown timer, and five alarms. The watch runs on a CR1220 battery, which lasts about two years.
In other news, Casio Japan has recently announced two new G-Shock models, GD-010CE-5JF and GA-010CE-2AJF in its Urban Utility lineup. The main parts of these watches, like the case and bezel, are made from biomass plastic, and the bands use recycled materials.
