Casio launches two new G-Shock GM-S2110NS watches with textured starry dials

Casio is releasing two new G-Shock watches in Japan this month: the GM-S2110NS-8AJF and GM-S2110NS-1AJF. They cost ¥29,150 ($185) and are currently up for pre-order on Casio’s regional website before shipping later in November.

Design Details

The main update for these two analog-digital watches is the dial. Both models keep the stainless steel octagonal bezel that is standard on the 2100 series, but Casio added a star pattern to the watch face.

The company says it uses a mix of 3D pressing, sunray finishing, and printing to create the textured design. The hour markers also have a semi-matte metallic finish to make them easier to read against the patterned background.

For the rest of the build, Casio is using bio-based plastics for the watch bands and some of the resin case components. The watches measure 45.9 x 40.5 millimeters and are 11mm thick. They weigh 56 grams.

While Casio lists them in its women’s watch category, the dimensions make them a practical mid-sized option for anyone who wants a smaller G-Shock that doesn’t take up too much wrist space. They are designed to fit wrist sizes between 145 and 190 mm.

The hardware specs are standard for the G-Shock line. The watches are shock-resistant, water-resistant up to 200 meters (20 bar), and use regular mineral glass over the dial. They run on a standard battery that lasts about three years, and the timekeeping is accurate to within 15 seconds a month.

The digital features are also identical to older models that use this specific module. The watches include world time for 48 cities across 31 time zones, a 1/100-second stopwatch, a 24-hour countdown timer, and five daily alarms.

There is a dual LED backlight system that lights up both the analog dial and the small LCD screen in the dark. They also have a hand-shift feature, which lets you press a button to temporarily move the analog hands out of the way so you can read the digital display.

In related news, Casio has recently launched two A168-inspired ring watches with miniature LCD screens and LED alerts, alongside three affordable LF-40W digital watches featuring quirky retro-tech displays.
