Casio seems to be working on a new mid-range G-Shock called the GDG-B100, and thanks to an insider leak, we’re getting our first real look at it before any official word from the company.
The watch has surfaced in three color variants: an all-black version, one with a green strap, and another with a sand-colored strap.
What’s interesting about the GDG-B100 is that it could be the first Mudman watch with an MIP display. Since the word “MUDMAN” is visible on the front, it’s confirmed that the watch is part of the Mudman family.
Unlike the LCD found on the classic Casio Mudman line, the GDG-B100 uses a memory-in-pixel (MIP) screen, a technology that has gradually expanded across Casio’s smartwatch-inspired and fitness-oriented models.
Compared to traditional LCD panels, MIP displays generally offer better readability, improved contrast, and the ability to show more information at once while using less power.
The overall design also follows the familiar formula of Casio’s larger outdoor-focused watches, featuring a bulky case, prominent protective structures around the display, and a thick resin strap designed for demanding environments.
Casio GDG-B100 Specifications
While full specifications have not leaked, the display layout hints at several activity-tracking features. The watch is likely to include step counting, Bluetooth connectivity, activity logs through a smartphone app, and workout-related metrics such as distance, pace, and calorie tracking.
Standard G-Shock features like world time, alarms, a stopwatch, a timer, LED illumination, and 200-meter water resistance are also likely to be included.
There are still plenty of unanswered questions, though. It’s unclear whether the GDG-B100 will include environmental sensors such as a compass or thermometer, and there’s no confirmation yet that it will support Casio’s Tough Solar charging technology.
According to the leak, Casio could launch the GDG-B100 sometime this summer. Pricing is rumored to fall between $200 and $250.
