Casio released two new all-metal G-Shock watches in the US, the GMCB2100D-1A and GMCB2100D-2A. They’re both $800. These watches are based on the original 1983 G-Shock, with the same octagonal bezel, but they have updated features.
Both watches have a stainless steel case, bezel, band, and a one-touch clasp. They’re built to be tough, with a resin buffer inside to handle shocks, even though they’re metal. The bezel is made in several steps, with a specific finish on top and a shiny finish on the sides.
They measure 51.3 × 46.3 × 12.4 mm and weigh 171 grams. They’re water-resistant to 200 meters, shock-resistant, and have a screw-down crown that fits the bezel’s shape. These watches use solar power with Casio’s Tough Solar system, and the battery lasts up to 18 months in power-saving mode. They connect to phones via Bluetooth and the CASIO WATCHES app, which lets you automatically set the time, see the time in 300 cities, and find your phone.
They have a 1-second stopwatch with a 24-hour limit, a countdown timer from 1 minute to 24 hours, and a daily alarm. The LED backlight makes it easy to see in the dark. The calendar is programmed through 2099. The hands glow in the dark, and the watches show two time zones. The display has three hands and smaller dials for mode, battery level, day, and the second time zone.
In related news, Casio has introduced the G-Shock Move GMDB300SC series in the US, priced at $120 and available in turquoise, coral orange, and white. These watches are designed for durability and fitness tracking, featuring an octagonal resin case (46.4 × 43.8 × 12 mm, 41g) made from plant-based materials.
