Casio has released two new Star Wars-themed watches ahead of the upcoming The Mandalorian and Grogu movie. The new models, which fall under the G-Shock and Baby-G product lines, are available starting May 1 in the US, UK, and the European Union.
Design Details
The release includes the $220 GM2100-1ASW and the $130 BA110YK-3ASW. Rather than just stamping a Star Wars logo on standard models, Casio customized the materials and colors to match the film’s two main characters. Both watches feature analog-digital hybrid displays, combining traditional watch hands with small LCD screens for additional data.
The GM2100-1ASW is the larger of the two, designed to reference the Mandalorian’s armor. It features a forged stainless steel bezel with an industrial, brushed finish that mimics the look of Beskar steel from the franchise. It measures 49.3 by 44.4 by 11.8 mm and weighs 72 grams.
As a standard G-Shock, it includes the company’s core guard structure for drop protection and offers 200 meters of water resistance. It also includes a hand shift feature, which temporarily moves the analog hands out of the way so you can read the digital display. It runs on two SR726W batteries, which Casio estimates will last about three years.
The second watch is the Baby-G BA110YK-3ASW, which serves as the Grogu tie-in. It costs $130 and comes in a green resin finish. It has a smaller footprint and weighs 45 grams, making it a better fit for smaller wrists.
The water resistance is lower on this model, rated at 100 meters, and the batteries are expected to last around two years. However, it still includes the standard shock resistance found across the lineup.
Both watches share a similar set of everyday features. They include world time tracking (31 time zones on the GM2100, 29 on the BA110), a 1/100-second stopwatch, countdown timers, and five daily alarms. The GM2100 uses a double white LED for illumination, while the BA110 uses an amber LED.
Casio is also including a custom watch stand with both models. The stand is designed to look like a Bounty Hunter ID card. It ships flat, but it has built-in magnets that allow you to fold it into a rigid 3D stand to hold the watch on a desk or shelf when you aren’t wearing it.
The watches are available now at select retailers, the G-Shock SoHo store, and Casio’s website.
