Casio has updated its G-Shock GA-V01 series with four new transparent models. The watches feature translucent resin cases and introduce a new orange color option. Pre-orders for the refreshed lineup are now available in Japan for ¥24,200 ($154). The models are now up for sale through Casio stores and authorized retailers.
The new models retain the futuristic, industrial design of the GA-V01 series while replacing solid cases with see-through shells. Casio has introduced four color variants: orange (GA-V01SKE-4A), green (GA-V01SKE-3A), purple (GA-V01SKE-6A), and gray (GA-V01SKE-8A). The translucent designs take inspiration from the popular Y2K aesthetic, recalling the look of early-2000s tech products and accessories.
Casio has maintained the durability and functionality that G-Shock is known for. The GA-V01 models include a shock-resistant construction and 200-meter water resistance. The watches feature a bezel-and-band structure designed to protect the module inside. Large dimensional indexes overlap the glass and act as bumpers to absorb impacts.
Casio has also introduced a Shock Release Hand mechanism in these models. The mechanism uses magnetic force to attach the minute hand to the shaft, rather than a fixed connection. This design improves shock absorption and allows for larger hands while maintaining durability.
The watches feature a combination of analog and digital displays. The full-screen LCD sits beneath a metallic dial with decorative openwork sections. The timepieces include essential functions like world time for 31 time zones, a 1/100-second stopwatch, a countdown timer, and five daily alarms. Casio has added a double LED Super Illuminator that improves visibility in low light.
Each model uses a CR2025 battery, which delivers approximately 10 years of battery life. The watches weigh 74 grams and measure 49.1 x 58.2 x 19.6 mm.
