Casio has brought its new Electro Green G-Shock collection to the US. First announced in Japan earlier this April, the lineup takes five of the company’s existing watch models and updates them with a new color scheme. The design is straightforward: a standard matte black case and band, paired with neon green text and a green-tinted LCD panel.
Specs and Pricing
The collection ranges from $110 to $180, split between standard battery-powered models and slightly more expensive versions equipped with Bluetooth and solar charging.
At the top of the price list is the $180 GA-B010BEG-1A. Along with the standard shock and water resistance, it includes Casio’s Tough Solar charging system and Bluetooth connectivity. You can link it to the Casio smartphone app to automatically sync the time, ping your phone if you lose it, and adjust the watch’s alarms. It also features a built-in step tracker.
The $165 GA-B2100BEG-1A shares the solar charging and Bluetooth features but skips the step tracker, opting instead for the familiar octagonal case design often referred to as the CasiOak. Both of these connected models are built using Casio’s bio-based carbon and resin materials.
For those who just want a traditional watch without app connectivity, there are three other options. The $110 GD-010BEG-1 is the only fully digital watch in the group. It also uses bio-based resin and runs on a standard CR2025 battery that Casio estimates will last about 10 years.
The remaining two models are analog-digital hybrids made from standard resin. The GA-100BEG-1A costs $120 and includes a magnetic-resistant case along with a speed indicator dial, running on a two-year battery. The GA-700BEG-1A is priced at $110, features a five-year battery, and has a large front-facing button to activate the LED backlight.
As expected from the G-Shock line, all five watches share a baseline set of features. They are shock-resistant, water-resistant up to 200 meters, and include basic functions like stopwatches, countdown timers, world time, and daily alarms.
The Electro Green series is available now through Casio’s website and US retailers.
