Casio is expanding its Baby-G lineup in Japan this month with the introduction of the BGD-565FG series. The new collection includes three models, the BGD-565FG-2B, BGD-565FG-2C, and BGD-565FG-5, which are currently available for pre-order and are priced at ¥10,450 ($66).

Design Details

The design of these new watches is heavily focused on current retro fashion trends, specifically drawing from 1990s grunge and early 2000s Y2K aesthetics. Instead of the bright, high-contrast colors sometimes seen in the Baby-G line, Casio opted for muted, grayish tones intended to resemble faded denim and washed-out fabrics.

The BGD-565FG-2B is a cool blue-gray, the 2C is a lighter blue, and the BGD-565FG-5 is a smoky light brown. To contrast the matte resin bands, the watch dials feature metallic accents, which is where the Y2K influence comes in. It is a specific, casual look that clearly targets buyers interested in vintage-inspired streetwear.

On the hardware side, the BGD-565FG series sticks to the familiar, reliable specifications of the broader 565 line. The watches are quite compact, measuring 42.1 x 37.9 x 11.3 mm, and they weigh only 30 grams. The case and band are made of standard resin, and the display is covered by mineral glass.

The watches also feature the company’s standard shock-resistant construction and offer up to 100 meters (10 bar) of water resistance, making them suitable for swimming and daily wear.

Internally, the watches run on a standard CR1616 battery, which Casio says should last for about three years before needing a replacement. The feature set includes the standard tools expected from a basic digital Casio: a 1/100-second stopwatch, a 24-hour countdown timer, a multi-function alarm, and an hourly time signal.

It also includes a flash alert function that links a buzzer and a flashing light to the alarms and timers. For visibility in the dark, there is a white LED backlight with an afterglow effect.

In related news, Casio recently launched premium titanium watches with mother-of-pearl dials and solar charging, along with the new G-Shock GBM-2100LXB-1A2 featuring a blacked-out steel bezel and solar charging.

Casio has announced two new watches in its Oceanus Manta series for the Japanese market. The OCW-S40PW-7A and OCW-S7000PW-7A are available for pre-order now and will begin shipping later in November 2026.

Pricing and Design Details

Both watches share the same basic design, built around a white mother-of-pearl dial. Because mother-of-pearl is a natural material, the dial changes its appearance depending on the angle of the light.

Casio matched this with a pearl-white sapphire crystal bezel ring and added simple blue accents on the hands and the logo. The cases and bracelets are made of titanium with a titanium carbide coating to prevent scratches.

Both models also share a few core hardware features. They have dual-curved sapphire crystal glass with an anti-reflective coating, 10 ATM water resistance, and Casio’s Tough Solar charging system. The solar battery allows the watches to run for about five months on a full charge in the dark, or up to 17 to 19 months if the automatic power-saving mode is active.

The OCW-S7000PW-7A is the larger of the two, measuring 47.5 x 42.8 x 9.5 mm and weighing 83 grams. It is priced at ¥236,500 ($1,492). This version includes Bluetooth, allowing it to connect to the Casio Watches smartphone app.

Through the app, the watch automatically corrects the time, helps you find your phone, and lets you manage world time settings for about 300 cities. It also has a tachymeter and a 24-hour stopwatch. For timekeeping without a phone, it uses Multiband 6 radio-controlled technology, which syncs with radio signals in Japan, North America, Europe, and China.

The OCW-S40PW-7A is a smaller model, measuring 33.8 x 29.7 x 8.7 mm and weighing 44 grams. It costs ¥198,000 ($1,249). It drops the Bluetooth connectivity and the tachymeter, but it still uses the Multiband 6 radio-controlled system to automatically keep the time accurate.

If radio signals are unavailable, both watches default to standard quartz accuracy of ±15 seconds per month. The S40 includes a standard world time function for 24 cities and features a fine-adjustment titanium bracelet.

In related news, Casio has recently launched the new G-Shock GBM-2100LXB-1A2 with a blacked-out steel bezel and solar charging, alongside two new Baby-G BGA-10 watches featuring a clever color-changing dial mechanism.

Casio is adding a new model to its 2100 series of watches in Japan. The GBM-2100LXB-1A2, scheduled for release later this November, is currently available for pre-order at ¥42,900 ($270). The watch maintains the familiar octagonal shape of the 2100 line but incorporates a metal bezel, solar charging, and Bluetooth connectivity.

Design Details

For the exterior, Casio is using a combination of stainless steel and bio-based resin. The bezel is made of steel with a black ion-plated finish, giving the watch a uniform, dark appearance. This is paired with a bio-based resin band that features a square-dot texture.

On the dial, there is a grid pattern designed to visually match the band. To add some contrast to the all-black design, Casio applied a blue vapor deposition to the outer edge of the mineral glass, while the dial indexes are colored in gunmetal-gray. The watch measures 49.3 x 44.4 x 11.9 mm and weighs 72 grams.

On the technology side, the GBM-2100LXB-1A2 runs on Casio’s Tough Solar system, which charges the internal battery using both sunlight and artificial indoor lighting. On a full charge, the watch operates for about seven months under normal conditions, or up to 18 months if left in the dark with the power-saving mode turned on.

It also includes Bluetooth to connect with the Casio Watches smartphone app. This connection automatically corrects the time, lets users select from 300 world time cities, and provides a basic phone finder tool.

Beyond the solar and Bluetooth additions, it functions like a standard G-Shock. It has 200 meters of water resistance, standard shock resistance, a 1/100-second stopwatch, a countdown timer, and five daily alarms.

The display uses a double LED system to light up both the analog hands and the digital LCD screen in low light. It also includes a hand-shift feature that temporarily moves the analog hands out of the way if they are blocking the digital readout.

In related news, Casio has recently launched two new Baby-G BGA-10 watches featuring a clever color-changing dial mechanism, alongside the G-Shock DW-5600RBG-1 Union collaboration watch with bold Pan-African colors.

Casio is set to launch two new Baby-G watches in Japan this November under the BGA-10 series. The lineup includes the black BGA-10-1AJF and white BGA-10-7A1JF, both featuring a unique rotating color wheel beneath the dial.

Design Details

Instead of a digital display, Casio is using a physical white-to-black gradient wheel to change how the watch looks. The dial has four heart-shaped cutouts of different sizes. The gradient wheel sits right below these cutouts and is mechanically linked to the watch’s date function.

Every time the date rolls over at midnight, the wheel rotates a bit, changing the shades that show through the holes. If you want a specific color combination, you can also use the crown to turn the wheel manually. Casio does note that you have to be careful when setting this up, as the date and color alignment can get out of sync if adjusted incorrectly.

To actually use the crown, you have to interact with another specific hardware feature: a removable bezel. The resin bezel acts as a bumper to protect the mineral glass and covers the crown during normal wear.

When you need to set the time, change the date, or adjust the color wheel, you have to physically pop the bezel off the case. It is designed to be removed by hand without any special tools.

The rest of the watch design is very straightforward. Both models stick to a monochrome color scheme with a few silver accents. The hour and minute hands are rounded, the seconds hand has an arrow shape, and the Arabic numerals are made of raised silicone to add some depth to the dial.

As for the basic specifications, these are standard Baby-G watches. They are shock-resistant and water-resistant up to 100 meters (10 bar). The case measures 46.6 x 42.1 x 11.4 mm.

Because the case, band, and bezel are all made of resin, the watch is very light, weighing just 34 grams. It runs on a standard SR920SW battery, which Casio says should last for about three years before needing a replacement. The timekeeping accuracy is rated at ±20 seconds per month.

Pricing and Availability

Both the BGA-10-1AJF and BGA-10-7A1JF are currently available for pre-order in Japan. They are scheduled to ship in November 2026 and are priced at ¥10,450 ($66).

In related news, Casio has recently launched the G-Shock DW-5600RBG-1 Union collaboration watch with bold Pan-African colors and introduced two new G-Shock GM-S2110NS watches featuring textured starry dials.

Casio has partnered with the streetwear retailer Union to release a new iteration of the standard G-Shock DW-5600. The collaboration, officially designated as the DW-5600RBG-1 in the US and DW-5600RBG-1JR in Japan, updates the familiar digital watch with a new color scheme and subtle branding changes.

Design Details

The design of this specific model utilizes a Pan-African color palette. While the primary case and band are matte black, Casio and Union have integrated red and green accents across the watch face and the LCD panel.

The standard single band loop has been replaced with three separate retaining loops, which are individually colored red, black, and green. For branding, the Union Frontman logo is engraved directly onto the metal case back. The same logo is also built into the digital display, appearing when the user activates the white LED backlight.

In terms of physical construction, the watch uses Casio’s bio-based resin for both the case and the band.

The watch maintains the exact dimensions of a standard DW-5600, measuring 48.9 x 42.8 x 13.4 mm and weighing 52 grams. The digital display is covered by standard mineral glass.

Internally, the hardware capabilities remain identical to the base DW-5600 model. It features Casio’s standard shock-resistant build and is rated for 200 meters of water resistance. The digital module is powered by a single CR2016 battery, which Casio estimates will last for five years.

The feature set includes a 1/100-second stopwatch, a 24-hour countdown timer, a multi-function alarm, and a full auto-calendar. It also includes a flash alert function, which blinks the backlight in sync with alarms and hourly time signals.

Pricing and Availability

The DW-5600RBG-1 will launch in the United States on November 6, 2026, for $165. It will be sold through Union’s online store and its physical retail location in Los Angeles.

The Japanese variant will be released the following day, November 7, at Union’s physical stores in Tokyo and Osaka for ¥19,800. The watch will ship in custom packaging that matches the color scheme of the hardware.

In related news, Casio has recently launched two new G-Shock GM-S2110NS watches featuring textured starry dials and two A168-inspired ring watches with miniature LCD screens and LED light alerts.

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.

Casio is expanding its retro ring watch lineup with two new variants, the CRW-002D-1A and CRW-002G-9A. Both models bring the classic A168 digital watch design into a miniature ring-sized form factor.

Design Details

Despite their tiny dimensions, they retain traditional timekeeping features, including a seven-segment LCD, an auto-calendar, a 1/100-second stopwatch, and dual-time functionality.

The hardware is constructed from stainless steel using a metal injection molding (MIM) process, which blends fine metal powders with resin to form the intricate case and band details. Both models feature a matte-finished band contrasted with a glossy case, mineral glass over the display, and basic water resistance for daily wear.

Casio has also included the Time Flash function that uses a white LED to pulse at a designated time or on the hour. It’s a purely cosmetic addition that might not show up well in bright lighting. For power, the ring relies on a standard SR621SW watch battery that lasts around two years and can be easily swapped out when it dies.

Sizing is fixed to a single base size. The ring has a 20mm inner diameter, which is a US size 10.5 (size 22 in Japan). To fit smaller fingers, Casio includes two physical spacers in the box that adjust the fit down to Japanese sizes 19 or 16.

Pricing and Availability

The silver CRW-002D-1A costs $135 in the US and ¥19,800 in Japan. The gold CRW-002G-9A is priced at $155 in the US and ¥22,000 in Japan. Both versions are expected to be available in the US later this month. In Japan, the initial release is being handled through an online lottery application system.

In related news, Casio brings its premium A1000SP-7 stainless steel digital watch to Japan, while also launching three affordable LF-40W digital watches with a quirky retro-tech display.

Casio is set to launch the Vintage A1000SP-7 in Japan this November. The watch may already be familiar to some buyers, as it debuted in several global markets, including China, India, and the Eurozone, back in July.

The company is now bringing the metal digital watch to its home market under the regional model number A1000SP-7JR. It is currently available for pre-order and will retail for ¥27,500 ($174) when it officially goes on sale later this month.

Design Details

The A1000SP-7 features a more premium construction than Casio’s entry-level retro digital watches. Instead of the chrome-plated resin commonly found on more affordable models, it uses a solid stainless steel case paired with a matching stainless steel bracelet. The bracelet combines brushed and polished mirror finishes, while a one-touch, three-fold clasp provides a secure fit.

Casio also upgraded the display materials for this tier. Instead of the acrylic or mineral glass found on cheaper models, this watch uses a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. The underside of the crystal features a striped vapor deposition, which sits above a brass dial treated with a sunray finish.

Internally, the watch relies on a standard, straightforward Casio digital module. It includes the familiar suite of basic timekeeping features: a 1/100-second stopwatch, a daily alarm, an hourly time signal, and an auto-calendar. You can toggle between 12-hour and 24-hour time formats, and there is a white LED backlight for checking the time in the dark.

Physically, the watch is relatively compact. It measures 39.6 x 38 x 7.3 mm and weighs 101 grams. Casio categorizes it as a unisex design, and its 7.3 mm thickness means it will easily fit under a shirt sleeve.

It comes with basic water resistance and runs on a standard CR1616 battery, which the company estimates will last for about three years before needing a replacement. For this specific regional release, the watch will also ship in special packaging.

In related news, Casio has recently launched three affordable LF-40W digital watches with quirky retro-tech displays, along with matching G-Shock and Baby-G couple watches featuring custom LED backlights.

The post Casio finally brings its premium A1000SP-7 stainless steel digital watch to Japan appeared first on Gizmochina.

Casio is releasing a new line of digital watches in Japan this month. The LF-40W series includes three models: the black LF-40W-1AJF, the navy LF-40W-2AJF, and the gray LF-40W-8AJF. All three are priced at ¥4,400 ($28) and are currently available for pre-order ahead of their November 2026 shipping date.

Design Details

The LF-40W series features a distinctive vertically oriented LCD that separates the watch’s information into two sections. The top half functions as a standard digital clock, showing the current time in numbers. The bottom half contains three rows of horizontal bars that change based on the time and the watch’s current mode.

These bars serve as a quick visual reference for the watch’s background settings. The top row indicates whether the alarm, hourly time signal, button tones, and daylight saving time are turned on or off. The middle and bottom rows act as a visual timer, filling in to track the passing seconds in 10-second and one-second intervals. This setup allows the user to see multiple pieces of information at a glance without needing to press buttons to navigate through menus.

For the exterior, the watch has a basic rectangular resin case measuring 37.8 x 33.7 x 8.6 mm, and it weighs 23 grams. The band is made from biomass plastic, a material sourced from renewable organic resources that Casio has been using recently to reduce its reliance on standard plastics. The strap is designed to fit wrist sizes between 125 and 200 mm.

Inside, the LF-40W comes with a standard set of digital features. It includes a multi-time function to save four specific cities, plus a broader World Time mode that tracks 48 cities across 31 time zones. It also has a 1/100-second stopwatch, a 24-hour countdown timer, and five alarms that can be programmed as daily or one-time alerts.

The watch is powered by a standard battery that lasts about three years. It is rated for basic daily water resistance, has a timekeeping accuracy of ±30 seconds per month, and includes an amber LED backlight that stays on for either 1.5 or 3 seconds when activated.

In related news, Casio has recently launched a matching G-Shock and Baby-G watch pair with custom LED backlights, alongside two new retro LA680WEM digital watches featuring mesh bands.

Casio is adding a new set of watches to its lineup this November with the release of the LOV-26A-1 Seasonal Pair Collection. Created in collaboration with graphic artist Verdy and his streetwear label Girls Don’t Cry, the release marks the 30th anniversary of Casio’s annual paired watch series. The two-watch set is priced at ￥38,500 ($244) in Japan, with a wider global release expected soon based on its current listing on Casio’s international website.

Design Details

The hardware is based on two of Casio’s most recognizable digital watch silhouettes. The G-Shock model uses the DW-5600 as its foundation, while the smaller Baby-G is built on the BGD-565 chassis. Both feature a predominantly black resin construction, though Casio notes the G-Shock specifically uses a bio-based resin for its case and band to reduce environmental impact.

Instead of loud, oversized branding, the design changes are relatively subtle. The Girls Don’t Cry logo is printed directly on both watch faces. On the G-Shock’s band, the logo pattern is applied using a glossy black ink that blends into the matte black strap for a monochromatic look.

The Baby-G takes a slightly more visible approach, using matte white ink for the band pattern. Both models also share a distinct physical design quirk: a small, heart-shaped cutout on the band loop.

Casio has customized the LED backlights and the stainless steel case backs for this release. Pressing the illumination button reveals a butterfly graphic on the LCD panel, pink on the G-Shock and green on the Baby-G.

On the reverse side, the watches feature engravings of Verdy’s original characters, with a Devil on the G-Shock and an Angel on the Baby-G. This is a direct nod to the angel and devil motifs that Casio has traditionally used on its Pair Collection models since 1996.

Internally, these operate as standard Casio digital watches. The G-Shock (48.9 x 42.8 x 13.4 mm, 52g) includes 200-meter water resistance and runs for about five years on a CR2016 battery.

The Baby-G (42.1 x 37.9 x 11.3 mm, 30g) is rated for 100-meter water resistance and gets roughly three years from a CR1616 battery. Both include standard features like a 1/100-second stopwatch, a countdown timer, multi-function alarms, and flash alerts.

The set ships in custom packaging consisting of two black pouches that can snap together back-to-back, finished with gold-colored heart zipper charms.

Casio has released two new digital watches in the US market as part of its Vintage collection: the LA680WEM-7A and the LA680WEMG-9A. Both models are currently available for purchase directly through Casio’s US website.

Design Details & Pricing

The watches come with stainless steel mesh bands featuring a pressed, striped pattern that adds texture to their design. They also feature self-adjustable clasps that fit wrist sizes ranging from 125 to 185 mm.

The watch case retains Casio’s standard octagonal shape. It is a relatively small watch, measuring 33.5 x 28.6 x 8.6 mm, and the entire unit weighs 38 grams. The digital display is covered by basic resin glass.

The difference between the two models comes down to the color finish and the price. The LA680WEM-7A has a chrome-plated resin case and a silver-tone stainless steel mesh band. It costs $69.95. The LA680WEMG-9A features a gold-tone resin case and a gold ion-plated mesh band, which brings the price to $99.95.

Functionally, these watches carry the standard set of features found in Casio’s basic digital lineup. The LCD screen shows the time, date, and day of the week, and users can toggle between 12-hour and 24-hour formats. There is an amber LED backlight for checking the time in the dark.

The watches also come with a 1/100-second stopwatch that tracks elapsed time, split time, and first- and second-place finishes. They feature a daily alarm, an hourly time signal, basic water resistance, and an auto-calendar set to a 28-day February. Casio rates their timekeeping accuracy at ±30 seconds per month.

Both watches run on a single CR1616 coin-cell battery. According to Casio’s spec sheet, the battery will last for approximately five years before it needs to be replaced.

In related news, Casio has recently launched two classic Vintage watches with stunning gold mesh bands in the US, alongside five CMK100 automatic watches featuring titanium cases and sapphire crystals.

The post Casio launches two retro LA680WEM mesh band digital watches appeared first on Gizmochina.

Casio has released two new versions of its older watch models in the US. The AQ-230EMG-9A and the A158WEMG-9 are now available on the company’s website, updating the standard designs with a new gold-tone mesh band.

Design Details & Pricing

The main change for both watches is the strap. Instead of the usual folded-link metal bands that come with Casio’s basic retro models, these two feature a woven stainless steel mesh band with gold ion plating. According to Casio, the mesh is pressed to give it a slightly wavy texture.

The band also has a self-adjustable clasp, which lets you change the fit for wrists measuring between 150 and 205 mm without needing to take it to a jeweler or use pin-removal tools. The watch cases themselves are made of resin treated with a gold tone to match the band, and they use standard resin glass over the display.

The A158WEMG-9 costs $99.95 and keeps the standard digital layout of the A158 series. It measures 36.8 x 33.2 x 8.5 mm and weighs 52 grams. It includes the usual digital watch features: a 1/100-second stopwatch, a daily alarm, an hourly time signal, and an auto-calendar. It also has a green LED backlight. It runs on a CR2016 battery, which has an estimated life of about seven years.

The AQ-230EMG-9A is priced at $110.00 and uses an analog-digital hybrid display. The case is a bit taller and narrower, measuring 38.8 x 29.8 x 8.1 mm, but it weighs the same 52 grams. Because it has analog hands, this model includes a dual time feature along with the digital stopwatch and alarm. The battery life is shorter on this model, rated at roughly three years on an SR920W battery.

Both watches have basic water resistance, meaning they can handle rain or washing your hands, but they aren’t meant for swimming. They both have a stated accuracy of ±30 seconds per month. You can buy both models now directly from Casio’s US online store.

In related news, Casio has recently launched five CMK100 automatic watches with titanium cases and sapphire crystals, alongside five G-Steel GMC2500 watches in the US with magnetic shock-release hand technology.

Casio has listed the new CMK100 series on its US website, bringing a lineup of automatic field watches to the market. This release is a straightforward take on traditional mechanical watchmaking, focusing on standard utility and titanium hardware.

Design Details and Pricing

The watches are built around a 38mm titanium case. They measure 11.4mm thick with a 44.7mm lug-to-lug distance, which aligns with the standard, more compact sizing typical of field watches. Because titanium is naturally prone to scratching, Casio has applied a titanium carbide (TiC) coating to the case to improve abrasion resistance.

The display is protected by sapphire crystal. For water protection, the watches feature a screw-lock crown with a knurled finish and a screw-lock case back, giving the series a 100-meter water resistance rating. The case design also includes a wide, flat-top bezel.

Inside, the CMK100 series uses a Japanese-made automatic movement that includes magnetic resistance. The movement operates at 21,600 vibrations per hour, uses 21 jewels, and holds a 42-hour power reserve. It supports both manual winding and a hacking seconds function.

Casio rates the accuracy between -20 and +40 seconds per day. The dial features a textured background, a standard date display, and large Arabic numerals coated in multiple layers of phosphorescent paint to make them visible in low-light conditions.

Casio is releasing five variations of the CMK100, which differ by bezel treatment and strap options. The base model is the CMK100TC-1A at $330, which features a standard TiC bezel and comes with both a nylon cloth band and a vegetable-tanned leather band sourced from Italy.

The CMK100TCC-8A ($350) includes the same two bands but swaps in a gray ion-plated bezel. The CMK100TL-1A ($350) has a standard TiC bezel but ships only with the leather band, while the CMK100TCL-5A ($375) pairs the leather band with a rose gold ion-plated bezel.

The CMK100TD-1A ($440) replaces the fabric and leather straps with a solid titanium bracelet featuring a one-touch three-fold clasp. The models on straps weigh between 54 and 55 grams, while the titanium bracelet version weighs 98 grams. All five models are currently visible on Casio’s US storefront.

In related news, Casio has recently launched five G-Steel GMC2500 watches in the US with magnetic shock-release hand technology, alongside four minimalist G-Shock GAC2500 watches featuring a magnetic minute hand.

Casio has launched its G-Shock 2500 Series in India, bringing a new analogue collection inspired by the original DW-5000C. The lineup includes resin and metal-clad models, combining the brand’s familiar durability with a redesigned dial. Prices start at Rs 9,995 (~$105) and go up to Rs 26,995.

Casio G-Shock 2500 series specifications and features

The new collection comprises the resin GAC-2500 and metal-clad GMC-2500 ranges. Its design follows the concept of “Depth in Shadow”, with sculpted surfaces, softer case contours and a layered dial. The Two-Eye Signature layout places a small-seconds subdial at 9 o’clock and a multifunction date window at 3 o’clock.

The Multi-Mission Date function lets the three-cell window display the date, stopwatch elapsed time and setting information. The full auto-calendar handles month-end adjustments and leap years through 2099. A hand-shift function moves the hands out of the way when they obstruct the view of other information. The collection also retains shock resistance and 200-metre water resistance, alongside an amber LED light and a stopwatch.

The GMC-2500 models feature a metal-clad exterior, with options offering resin straps or stainless steel bracelets. The steel-bracelet versions weigh 138 grams, while the resin-band models weigh 68 grams. Both variants measure 46.7 x 43.8 x 12.9mm and use mineral glass.

The GMC-2500 models also feature a magnetic Shock Release Hand mechanism that allows the minute hand to move temporarily under impact and return to its correct position. The watches use a CR1025 battery rated for around two years, with no Bluetooth connectivity or Tough Solar charging.

Casio’s premium G-Steel GST-W1000 series is heading to European markets after its initial announcement in Japan. The three watches combine a stainless steel design with sapphire crystal and advanced timekeeping features. Their latest listings also provide a clearer picture of when buyers can expect them to arrive.

Casio GST-W1000 series European pricing and availability

The black GST-W1000D-1A and green GST-W1000D-3A will cost €779 (approximately $870) each in Spain. The blue GST-W1000AD-2A, which features a black ion-plated bezel, will cost €799 (approximately $892). All three models have appeared on Casio’s European website with a November 2026 release window, although direct purchases are not available yet. They are expected to be sold through the G-Shock online store and selected retailers.

The watches are already available in Hong Kong through Casio’s authorised online flagship store. The black and green variants are listed for HK$6,680 (approximately €750), while the blue model costs HK$6,880 (approximately €782). Meanwhile, Casio Taiwan has announced a late-October release, with prices ranging from NT$22,000 (approximately €600) to NT$23,500 (approximately €642).

Casio first announced the GST-W1000 lineup in September, detailing its metal construction and new movement.

The watches also support Tough Solar charging, Bluetooth smartphone connectivity and Multi Band 6 radio-controlled timekeeping. A sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating protects the dial.

Each model measures 50 × 45.5 × 13.2 mm and weighs 138 grams. The watches also offer 200-metre water resistance and LED illumination. The four-part metal bezel uses different surface finishes and concealed mounting screws for a cleaner appearance. Buyers in Europe will have to wait until November to purchase the watches, while availability is already underway in some Asian markets.

The post Casio G-Steel GST-W1000 watches get European prices and release window appeared first on Gizmochina.

Casio is bringing its GMC2500 series to the US market. After an initial release in Japan, the company has listed five new analog watches under its G-Steel lineup on its US website, with sales expected to begin soon. Prices start at $280.

Design Details

The GMC2500 series uses the octagonal case shape that Casio has heavily favored in recent years, but it drops the digital LCD screens entirely. Instead, these models are strictly analog.

The dial features a two-eye layout, which includes a small seconds subdial and a mode-function date wheel. There is also a three-cell date window designed to blend in with the dial color to keep the watch face looking relatively clean.

Just like the GAC2500 series, these watches also feature Casio’s magnetic holding structure to improve the durability of the analog hands. Unlike conventional watches, where the hands are rigidly attached to the central shaft, this mechanism uses magnetic force to hold the minute hand in place.

During strong impacts or vibrations, the minute hand can temporarily shift from its position to absorb the shock and reduce the risk of damage. The watch then automatically realigns the hand to its correct position within a few minutes.

To help manage battery life, the watches include a sleep function for the seconds hand. You can stop the small subdial hand when you don’t need it, which helps the standard CR1025 battery reach its estimated two-year lifespan.

The five models are separated by their materials and finishes. The GMC2500-1A and GMC2500-1A8 come with bio-based resin bands and are priced at $280. The GMC2500G-9A also uses a resin band but adds a gold ion-plated bezel for $300. If you want a metal bracelet, the GMC2500D-1A and GMC2500D-1A2 feature stainless steel bands and cost $350.

Because of the different bands, the weight varies significantly. The resin models weigh a very light 68 grams, while the stainless steel versions weigh 138 grams. Otherwise, the core specs are identical across the board. They all measure 46.7 x 43.8 x 12.9 mm and include standard G-Shock features like 200-meter water resistance, shock resistance, an amber LED backlight, and a basic stopwatch.

In related news, Casio has recently launched three lightweight GMA-S160 watches in the US with a minimalist design, along with three affordable MDV106C dive watches offering 200-meter water resistance.

The post Casio launches five G-Steel GMC2500 watches in the US with magnetic shock release hand tech appeared first on Gizmochina.

Casio is bringing a new set of analog watches to the US market with the release of the G-Shock GAC2500 series. Scheduled to launch on November 6th for $145, the lineup consists of four models that recently debuted in Japan. The series uses the familiar octagonal case shape seen on many of the company’s recent releases, but it relies entirely on a traditional analog layout rather than a digital or hybrid display.

Design Details

The GAC2500 features a straightforward dial designed for everyday timekeeping. It includes standard hour and minute hands, a small subdial for tracking seconds, and a three-cell date window. Casio has matched the date window’s color to the dial, giving the watch a clean, uniform appearance without unnecessary visual clutter.

The watch will be available in four colors: black (GAC-2500-1A), dark green (GAC-2500-3A), white (GAC-2500-7A), and yellow (GAC-2500-9A). Both the case and the band are manufactured from bio-based resin.

The watch features a magnetic holding mechanism designed to absorb shocks and vibrations. Unlike traditional watches, the minute hand is held in place by magnetic force rather than being rigidly attached to the central shaft.

Casio says that the minute hand may temporarily shift or shake when exposed to strong impacts or heavy vibrations. However, the magnetic system automatically realigns the hand to its correct position within a few minutes.

To help manage battery life, the watch includes a sleep function for the second hand. You can manually stop the small seconds subdial from moving, which helps extend the life of the standard CR1025 battery to an estimated two years.

In terms of physical specs, the GAC2500 measures 46.7 x 44.5 x 12.7 mm and weighs just 47 grams. The watch offers Casio’s signature durability features, including shock resistance and 200 meters of water resistance.

It also comes with an amber LED light for visibility in low-light conditions, a 30-minute stopwatch, and a hand-shift function that temporarily moves the main hands aside when they obstruct the date window or subdial.

In related news, Casio has recently launched three lightweight GMA-S160 watches in the US with a minimalist design, alongside three affordable MDV106C dive watches featuring 200-meter water resistance.

The post Casio launches four minimalist G-Shock GAC2500 watches in the US with magnetic minute hand appeared first on Gizmochina.

Casio has brought its GMA-S160 watch series to the US market. After an initial launch in Japan last month, the three new analog-digital models, available in black, navy, and white, are now on sale stateside for $145.

Casio GMA-S160 Specifications

The main draw of the GMA-S160 is its reduced footprint. Casio is marketing this under its women’s line, focusing on a slimmer, more compact case than its existing GMA-P2100 models. The watch measures 40.7 x 35.7 x 10.8 mm and weighs just 31 grams. It is built for people who want the standard durability of a Casio watch but have smaller wrists or simply prefer a less bulky profile for daily wear.

Design-wise, Casio kept things relatively simple. The bezel and band have a matte finish, which is paired with a metallic dial and matching metal accents on the buckle and band loop. The overall look is minimal, avoiding the busy, text-heavy bezels found on many of the company’s other rugged watches.

Casio is also continuing its recent trend of using alternative materials. The main resin components in both the bezel and the band are made from bio-based resin.

Despite the smaller size, the internal specs are standard for this tier of Casio watches. The GMA-S160 maintains the company’s usual shock-resistant construction and 200-meter water resistance. The face features a traditional two-hand analog display alongside a small digital LCD screen that shows the hour, minute, second, date, and day of the week.

The watch also features a hand-shift function for better digital display visibility, dual time, a one-second stopwatch, an auto-calendar until 2099, and dual LED lighting for both analog and digital displays. It runs on a CR1025 battery, which Casio claims can last up to three years.

In related news, Casio has recently launched three affordable MDV106C dive watches in the US with 200m water resistance and introduced its rugged Mudmaster GWG-B1000-1A3 to the American market.

The post Casio launches three lightweight GMA-S160 watches in the US with a minimalist design appeared first on Gizmochina.

Casio just added three new versions of its MDV106 dive-style watch to its US online store. The new models, the MDV106C-1AV, MDV106C-3AV, and MDV106C-5AV, are priced at $110 each and are available to purchase right now.

Design Details

If you are familiar with Casio’s lineup, the MDV106 series is known for being a basic, functional watch that looks like a traditional diver but doesn’t cost a lot of money. These three new variants stick to that exact formula.

The main difference with the C models is the strap. Instead of the usual resin or metal bands, Casio is shipping these with a cloth band. The band is designed to fit wrist sizes ranging from 175 to 215 mm, which gives it a slightly more casual look and feel compared to the standard models.

As for the hardware, the watches feature a stainless steel case paired with an aluminum bezel. The case measures 48.5 x 44.2 x 12.1 mm. That is on the larger side for a standard analog watch, but the switch to a cloth strap keeps the total weight down to a very manageable 96 grams. The dial itself is protected by standard mineral glass.

Despite the relatively low price, Casio includes the standard durability features you would expect from this specific line. The watches have a screw-lock crown and a screw-lock back plate.

Together, these help give the watches a 200-meter water resistance rating, meaning you can comfortably wear them while swimming without worrying about water damage. They also feature an anti-reverse rotary bezel, which is a standard hardware tool on dive-style watches used for tracking elapsed time.

Internally, there are no smart features or complex mechanics here. These are straightforward analog watches. The dial has three hands for the hour, minute, and second, along with a small cutout for the date display.

They run on a standard quartz movement, which Casio says is accurate to within 20 seconds per month. Power comes from a single SR626SW battery, and you can expect about three years of battery life before you need to open the case back and replace it.

In related news, Casio has brought its tactical Mudmaster GWG-B1000-1A3 to the US and also launched the G-Shock Frogman GWFD1000BC-1, featuring sapphire crystal and triple sensor technology.

The post Casio launches three affordable MDV106C dive watches in the US with 200m water resistance appeared first on Gizmochina.

Casio has brought the GWG-B1000-1A3, the newest model in its Master of G Mudmaster series, to the US market. After initially launching in Japan last month, the watch is now available directly through Casio’s US website for $880.

Design Details

The watch has a straightforward, tactical-inspired design. It skips flashy colors in favor of a matte olive-green urethane band, a black multi-textured case, and muted tan accents on the dial.

Casio is continuing its recent shift toward alternative materials here, using bio-based resin for the primary components of the bezel, case, and band. The display is an analog-digital hybrid, covered by sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating to keep it readable in direct sunlight.

As the Mudmaster name implies, the physical build is specifically engineered to keep dirt and debris out. It uses Casio’s Carbon Core Guard structure integrated with stainless steel.

To block mud and dust, the watch features cylindrical stainless-steel button guards, gaskets on the button shafts, and a screw-lock crown. Inside, the module is lined with αGEL to absorb physical vibrations, which sits alongside the standard G-Shock shock resistance and 200-meter water resistance.

For hardware, it includes Casio’s Triple Sensor setup, meaning you get a compass, an altimeter/barometer, and a thermometer directly on the wrist. It also has Bluetooth to connect to the Casio Watches app on iOS and Android.

This handles automatic time syncing and adds features like a mission log and a Location Indicator. When using the indicator, the seconds hand points north, while a separate indicator hand points toward a specific location you’ve previously saved in the app.

It runs on Casio’s Tough Solar system, which charges the battery using ambient light. Casio says it can run for about six months on a full charge without seeing any light.

If you don’t have your phone connected for time syncing, the watch defaults to Multi-Band 6 radio control to sync with atomic clocks globally. It also features a double LED backlight for checking the time in the dark.

In related news, Casio has launched the G-Shock Frogman GWFD1000BC-1 in the US with sapphire crystal and triple sensor technology. The company has also introduced the Pro Trek PRJB001EX-1, featuring a reversible strap with a hidden storage pocket.

The post Casio brings its tactical Mudmaster GWG-B1000-1A3 to the US appeared first on Gizmochina.

Casio has released its newest dive watch, the G-Shock GWFD1000BC-1, in the US market. Following an initial launch in Japan last month, the watch is now listed on the Casio US website with a price tag of $1,500. As part of the company’s Master of G Frogman series, the device is built primarily for underwater environments and outdoor utility.

Design Details

The GWFD1000BC-1 is a large device, measuring 59.2 x 53.3 x 18 mm and weighing 181 grams. The design is straightforward, featuring a black color scheme with tan accents that Casio says is modeled after tactical equipment.

The case is constructed from a combination of stainless steel and resin. The metal bezel is treated with a diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating to prevent scratches, while the digital display is protected by a sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating.

For the strap, Casio used a composite band that connects metal H-links with center links made of bio-based resin. This setup is intended to reduce the overall weight compared to a standard metal bracelet. To accommodate divers, the clasp features a slide-adjust mechanism and a two-step extension system, allowing it to fit over a wetsuit.

In terms of diving hardware, the watch has an ISO 200-meter water resistance rating and a screw-lock case back. It relies on Casio’s Triple Sensor system to track depth, temperature, and compass bearing. The depth gauge operates down to 80 meters in 10-centimeter increments.

The digital compass includes an auto-leveling function, which helps provide accurate directional readings when the wearer’s wrist is not completely flat in the water. The software also logs data for up to 20 dives, recording the start time, duration, maximum depth, and lowest water temperature.

For everyday use, the watch operates on Casio’s Tough Solar charging system, which draws power from ambient light. It includes Multiband 6 radio control, automatically synchronizing the time with atomic clocks in six global regions. Additionally, it features tide graphs, moon phase data, an LED backlight, and standard stopwatch and alarm tools.

In related news, Casio has recently launched the Pro Trek PRJB001EX-1 in the US with a reversible strap and hidden storage pocket, alongside the Y2K-inspired Baby-G BA110MC watch series.

The post Casio launches GWFD1000BC-1 G-Shock Frogman in the US with sapphire crystal & triple sensor tech appeared first on Gizmochina.

Casio is bringing a new version of its Pro Trek watch to the US market. The PRJB001EX-1, which originally launched in Japan earlier this year, is a digital-analog hybrid watch designed specifically for camping and hiking. It is available to purchase now for $220.

Design Details

Instead of focusing on advanced smartwatch features or health tracking, this model offers practical features designed for outdoor use. The watch comes with a fabric strap that includes a small built-in pocket for storing items such as a house key or folded cash.

The strap also features a reversible design, allowing users to fold it over the watch face to protect the glass from scratches when not in use. It can also be attached to a carabiner, making it easy to hang the watch from a backpack or inside a tent instead of wearing it on the wrist.

To deal with accidental button presses, a common issue when wearing heavy jackets or carrying gear, the watch has a rotating bezel. You can turn the bezel to physically block the side buttons, and then rotate it back when you actually need to press them.

The watch case measures 50.3 x 46 x 13.6 mm and weighs 51 grams. Both the case and the bezel are made from a bio-based resin. For durability, it includes 100-meter water resistance and can operate in temperatures down to -10 degrees Celsius.

It runs on Casio’s Tough Solar charging system, offering up to seven months of battery life on a full charge without additional light exposure. Battery life can extend to 18 months with power-saving mode enabled.

It also has Bluetooth to connect to the Casio Watches phone app. This link provides automatic time syncing across 38 time zones, a phone finder tool, and a Time & Place button that logs your current location and time into the app.

Additionally, the watch comes with a 1/100-second stopwatch, a 60-minute countdown timer, five daily alarms, and a double LED light for improved visibility in the dark. It also features a hand-shift function that temporarily moves the analog hands out of the way for a clearer view of the digital display.

Casio has launched three new Baby-G watches in the US under its BA110MC series. The lineup includes the BA-110MC-2A in blue, BA-110MC-6A in purple, and BA-110MC-7A in white. All three models are priced at $145 each and are now available through Casio’s official US website.

The new watches feature glossy finishes and metallic dial accents inspired by early 2000s fashion, while retaining the durability and rugged construction associated with the Baby-G lineup.

Design Details

The design of the BA110MC series centers around a multi-layered analog-digital hybrid dial. Instead of matte finishes, Casio opted for a glossy resin exterior for the case and band.

The dial features metallic indexes that contrast with the subdued, cool-toned colorways of the watch bodies. It is a familiar layout for anyone who has used the BA-110 series before, providing both traditional watch hands and digital readouts on a single face.

In terms of physical specifications, the watches measure 46.3 x 43.4 millimeters and are 15.8 millimeters thick. Because the case and band are made entirely of resin, the watches remain relatively light at 45 grams. The display is covered by mineral glass.

Like most Baby-G models, the BA110MC series is built with shock-resistant construction to handle drops and impacts. They also feature a 100-meter water resistance rating, making them suitable for swimming and general water exposure, though they are not intended for deep diving.

The feature set is standard for Casio’s digital watch lineup. The watches include a world time function that covers 29 time zones across 48 cities, complete with a daylight saving time toggle.

For timing, there is a 1/100-second stopwatch with elapsed and split time modes, as well as a 24-hour countdown timer. You can set up to five daily alarms, one of which includes a snooze function, alongside an optional hourly time signal.

The digital displays show the time, month, date, and day of the week, while the analog hands move at 20-second intervals. For better visibility in the dark, the watch comes with an amber LED backlight with an afterglow function.

The analog hands also feature a Neobrite coating for improved readability in low-light conditions. The watch runs on two SR726W batteries, which Casio claims can last approximately two years before requiring replacement.

The post Casio launches Y2K-inspired Baby-G BA110MC watches in the US appeared first on Gizmochina.

Casio has released the GMA-S2100PR-4A in India, bringing its latest breast cancer awareness G-Shock to the region after its initial launch in Japan, the US, and Europe. The watch is priced at ₹7,995 and is available now, coinciding with October’s breast cancer awareness month.

Design Details

This model is a variant of the GMA-S2100, which is the smaller, more compact version of Casio’s octagonal 2100 series. It measures 46.2 x 42.9 x 11.2 mm and weighs 41 grams. These dimensions make it a better fit for smaller wrists compared to standard, bulkier G-Shock models.

The design is entirely pastel pink. The only specific branding for the awareness campaign is a small pink ribbon indicator located on the sub-dial at the 9 o’clock position.

For the casing and the strap, Casio is using bio-based resin. The internal structure uses Casio’s standard Carbon Core Guard to protect the timekeeping module.

As a standard G-Shock, it comes with the usual durability specifications. It is shock-resistant and water-resistant up to 200 meters. The display is a hybrid analog-digital setup covered by mineral glass.

The analog hands have a Neobrite coating for visibility in the dark, and there is a double white LED system that illuminates both the watch face and the digital screen. You can set the backlight to stay on for either 1.5 or 3 seconds.

The watch runs on two SR726W batteries, which Casio estimates will last about three years. The digital features are standard for this module: world time for 31 time zones across 48 cities, a 1/100-second stopwatch, a 24-hour countdown timer, a full auto-calendar, and five daily alarms.

It also includes a hand-shift feature, which temporarily moves the analog hands out of the way if they are blocking the digital LCD.

In related news, Casio has recently launched the Baby-G BGD-10KPM-7 in collaboration with Pop Mart, which doubles as a bag charm, alongside a special-edition GM-5600 G-Shock inspired by Japanese rock legend Tomoyasu Hotei.

The post Casio brings its new pastel pink G-Shock GMA-S2100PR-4A watch to India appeared first on Gizmochina.

Casio is releasing a new addition to its Baby-G line that functions as both a digital watch and a collectible accessory. The BGD-10KPM-7, scheduled for launch in November 2026, is a direct collaboration with designer toy maker Pop Mart, focusing on the character Baby Molly. The watch is currently listed on Casio’s international and Japanese websites, with a retail price of ¥16,500 ($104) in Japan.

Design Details

The watch comes with a modular design based on Casio’s existing BABY-G+PLUS BGD-10K series. It can be worn as a regular wristwatch, while the central digital module can also be removed from the bezel and strap without using any tools.

The module can then be placed inside the included pink silicone holder, which features its own strap and turns the watch into a digital charm that can be attached to a backpack, bag, or belt loop. Casio also includes a set of original stickers for customizing the silicone holder.

The design is heavily customized to match the Pop Mart branding. The watch case is made of a bright yellow resin, chosen to match the Baby Molly character’s hair. When the LED backlight is activated, a graphic of the character’s blue eyes appears on the LCD screen.

The resin band features printed illustrations of Baby Molly and her companion, Baby Tabby cat. If you remove the pass-through band, there is a hidden graphic of a kindergarten name tag underneath the case. Additionally, the stainless steel case back is engraved with a Molly 20th-anniversary logo.

Underneath the character-themed exterior, the BGD-10KPM-7 operates like a standard digital Casio. The core module measures 42.8 x 39 x 14.7 mm and weighs 33 grams. It features Casio’s usual shock-resistant construction and is water-resistant up to 100 meters (10 bar). This durability applies whether the module is worn on the wrist or placed in the bag holder.

It runs on a standard CR1616 battery, which Casio estimates will last approximately three years. The software includes standard digital features: world time covering 29 time zones, a 1/100-second stopwatch, a 24-hour countdown timer, a full auto-calendar, and five daily alarms.

In related news, Casio has recently launched two affordable Vintage watches featuring green sunray dials and gold-tone bracelets, along with the limited-edition Oceanus OCW-SG1000MC-1A featuring a unique marble ceramic bezel.

The post Casio launches new Baby-G BGD-10KPM-7 Pop Mart watch that doubles as a bag charm appeared first on Gizmochina.

Casio has announced a new addition to its G-Shock lineup for the Japanese market. The GM-5600HT26-1 is a digital watch designed in collaboration with Japanese guitarist Tomoyasu Hotei, released to mark his 45th year in the music industry. This is the fourth time Casio has partnered with the musician, and the new model applies his specific branding to one of the company’s standard metal-bezel watches.

Design Details

The watch is built around the GM-5600 series. If you aren’t familiar with it, this line takes the classic, recognizable square G-Shock shape and swaps the standard resin bezel for a stainless steel one. For this collaboration, Casio applied a black ion-plated (IP) finish to the metal bezel and the buckle, giving the hardware a darker, matte look.

The primary design element is Hotei’s geometric GUITARHYTHM pattern, which is printed in grey across both the resin band and the watch face. Casio has included a few additional custom details for the anniversary release, including the GUITARHYTHM logo engraved on the case back and a 45TH commemorative print on the band keeper.

The watch features a red LED Super Illuminator backlight that contrasts sharply with the monochrome exterior. The device also ships in custom packaging covered entirely in the geometric pattern.

On the hardware side, the GM-5600HT26-1JR measures 49.6 x 43.2 x 12.9 mm and weighs 80 grams. It features the brand’s standard shock resistance and 200 meters of water resistance. The digital display is protected by mineral glass, and the watch runs on a battery rated for approximately five years of life.

Functionally, it includes the standard digital toolkit: a 1/100-second stopwatch, a 24-hour countdown timer with auto-repeat, a multi-function alarm, and a full auto-calendar. It also utilizes a flash alert system, where the red backlight flashes in sync with alarms, hourly time signals, and timer notifications.

Pricing and Availability

Casio is adding two new analog-digital hybrid watches to its Vintage lineup this October. The AQ-240EG-3A and the AQ-230GA-3AMQY are currently available for pre-order on Casio’s Japanese website, bringing a dark green and gold colorway to the company’s long-running retro watch series.

Design Details

Both models share the same core materials and aesthetic. They feature a gold-tone resin case attached to a stainless steel band that has been treated with gold ion plating. The band uses a standard self-adjustable clasp designed to fit wrist sizes ranging from 150 to 205mm. The main draw here is the dial, which uses a dark green sunray finish that shifts in color depending on how the light hits it.

While they look similar at a glance, the two watches have different case dimensions. The AQ-240EG is the larger option, measuring 40.9 x 35.8 x 8.1 mm and weighing 51 grams. Its case design is a bit softer, featuring a rectangular shape with rounded corners. The AQ-230GA is smaller and noticeably more angular, coming in at 38.8 x 29.8 x 8.1 mm with a weight of 47 grams.

Functionally, the two watches are identical. They use Casio’s familiar analog-digital layout, which places two physical hands for the hours and minutes above a small rectangular LCD screen. The digital portion displays the seconds, AM/PM indicator, month, date, and day of the week.

As for features, you get the standard set of tools expected from a basic Casio digital module. This includes dual time for tracking a second time zone, a 1/100-second stopwatch, a daily alarm, and an hourly chime. The watches include an auto-calendar, though it is hard-coded for a 28-day February.

On the hardware side, both models use a resin glass crystal and offer basic water resistance for everyday use. They run on a single SR920W battery, which Casio estimates will last for about three years before needing a replacement. Timekeeping accuracy is rated at plus or minus 30 seconds per month.

Pricing and Availability

The smaller AQ-230GA-3AMQYJF is priced at ¥8,800 ($55), while the larger AQ-240EG-3AJF costs ¥9,900 ($62). Both are scheduled to ship later this month.

In related news, Casio has recently launched the limited-edition Oceanus OCW-SG1000MC-1A with a unique marble ceramic bezel, alongside three new Baby-G BGA-20K watches with faces that change every day.

If you are looking at Casio’s higher-end offerings this fall, you will notice the new Oceanus Manta OCW-SG1000MC-1A. Scheduled for release in Japan this November 2026 for ¥748,000 ($4,730), it is a limited-edition piece capped at just 300 serialized units worldwide. Instead of focusing on mechanical complexity, this model centers heavily on material engineering and efficient solar technology.

Design Details

The watch features a distinctive marble ceramic bezel made using a mixed-molding process that combines two differently colored ceramic materials. After sintering, cutting, and polishing, the process creates a black-and-white marble pattern that varies from one unit to another.

This means if you get your hands on one of the 300 pieces, the bezel will have its own unique pattern, along with subtle blue-green highlights where the two ceramic colors blend.

Moving to the main dial, you will find a glossy black ceramic surface with a cutout around the outer edge. This exposes a skeletonized metal date wheel. To keep the monochrome color scheme consistent, Casio gave the date wheel a gray vapor-deposited finish and applied a black ion-plated treatment to the dial ring.

The case and bracelet are built from titanium, which keeps the watch relatively light on your wrist at exactly 100 grams. Both components are treated with a diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating for scratch resistance and finished with Zaratsu polishing. For sizing, the titanium bracelet includes a slide-adjust mechanism in the clasp, making it easier for you to get a precise fit without needing tools.

Inside, the watch runs on Casio’s Gallium Tough Solar system. Adapted from solar cells used in satellites, this technology is significantly more efficient than standard solar watch panels. Because of this efficiency, you don’t have to look at a large, semi-transparent dial. Instead, a small crescent-shaped solar cell sits beneath the date wheel, drawing enough power through the dial’s cutouts to run the watch’s connectivity features.

For timekeeping, you get a hybrid system. It includes Multiband 6 radio control, which syncs with standard time transmitters. You can also use Bluetooth. When you connect the watch to the Casio Watches smartphone app, it automatically adjusts the time, lets you manage world time settings for about 300 cities, and can ping your phone if you misplace it.

Additionally, you get 100-meter water resistance and a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides. On a full charge, you can expect the watch to run for about five months under normal use, or up to 18 months if you enable the power-saving mode.

In related news, Casio has also launched three new Baby-G BGA-20K watches with faces that change every day, alongside five new Baby-G BGA-3000 models with solar power and automatic time synchronization.

If you are looking for a wearable that doubles as a standalone accessory, Casio has announced a new addition to its Baby-G lineup that might catch your eye.

The BABY-G + PLUS BGA-20K series, which includes the BGA-20K-1A, BGA-20K-4A, and BGA-20K-7A variants, is currently available for you to pre-order on the Casio Japan website for ¥12,100 (~$76). The watches are scheduled to begin shipping this month.

Design Details

The BGA-20K comes with a two-way design. Instead of keeping the watch permanently fixed to a wristband, you can pop the center module out of the standard resin strap and insert it into an included silicone-style holder.

This secondary holder features an ear-shaped hood and a lanyard strap, allowing you to attach the watch to your backpack as a charm or simply set it up as a small desk clock. Casio says the design is aimed at giving you a personalized, kawaii aesthetic that works both as a traditional timepiece and a decorative item.

You will also notice a mechanical quirk on the watch face itself. While the dial uses a standard three-hand analog layout, it is designed to look like a face. Near the top of the dial, you get two small cutout windows framed by printed details resembling eyeliner.

Behind these windows, a rotating disc changes the shape of the eyes every day when the date rolls over, cycling through different emoticon-style expressions for you to check each morning.

As for the hardware, you can expect standard Casio specifications. The watch module measures 43.5 x 42.4 x 11.5 mm and weighs just 36 grams, so it won’t weigh down your wrist or your bag. It features a resin case and bezel, G-Shock-style shock resistance, and 100 meters of water resistance.

The display is covered by mineral glass. It runs on a standard battery rated to give you about three years of life and includes a low-battery warning function, alongside a timekeeping accuracy of ±20 seconds per month.

Casio does include a few practical warnings regarding the modular holder. You will want to keep the holder out of direct sunlight and high temperatures or humidity to prevent the material from degrading over time. The company also warns you against using third-party metal straps with the holder, as doing so could tear the strap hole, and they note that the glossy finish might show minor manufacturing lines out of the box.

Right now, the BGA-20K series is only confirmed for the Japanese market, so you will have to wait and see if Casio announces a broader international release.

In related news, Casio has recently launched five new Baby-G BGA-3000 watches with solar power and automatic time syncing, alongside a wild banana-themed G-Shock DW5600 inspired by perfectly ripe fruit.

The post Casio launches three new Baby-G BGA-20K watches with faces that change every single day appeared first on Gizmochina.

Casio has announced a new lineup of five BGA-3000 watches in Japan. The new models are currently available for pre-order and combine a slimmer, more wearable design with Casio’s established Tough Solar and radio-controlled timekeeping technologies.

Design Details and Pricing

The design of the new BGA-3000 series is built around a stainless steel bezel attached to a resin case. Casio applied a mix of hairline brushing and mirror polishing to the metal, giving the hardware a standard, clean finish.

On the analog-digital dial, you’ll notice fine concentric grooves that add some texture and catch the light, but the overall layout remains minimal. Measuring 40.8 by 36.1 mm, the case is 11.2 mm thick. That is relatively thin for a shock-resistant watch, making it a practical size for your daily use without getting caught on your sleeves.

When choosing a model, you have two main options based on the type of band included. If you go with the standard models, the BGA-3000-5A, BGA-3000-7A, and BGA-3000-2A, you get a standard resin band. These versions weigh just 32 grams and are priced at ¥33,000 ($208).

If you prefer a heavier, more traditional watch feel, the BGA-3000C-2A features a composite band made of both metal and resin, securing with a one-push three-fold clasp. This model costs ¥39,050 ($247) and weighs 50 grams. The most expensive model in the lineup is the BGA-3000CG-5A, which gives you the same composite band but adds a pink-gold ion plating to the case and hardware for ¥42,350 ($268).

Internally, these watches provide you with low-maintenance timekeeping rather than smartwatch connectivity. They are powered by the Tough Solar system, which gives you about eight months of battery life on a full charge, or up to 20 months if you turn on the display’s power-saving mode.

They also include Multiband 6 technology. This allows your watch to automatically calibrate the time up to six times a day by receiving radio signals from transmitters.

You’ll find all the standard Casio features here as well. The watches are shock-resistant, water-resistant up to 100 meters, and include a 48-city world time function, a 1/100-second stopwatch, a countdown timer, daily alarms, and a white LED backlight.

Availability

If you’re looking to pick one up, the BGA-3000 series is currently available for pre-order on the Casio Japanese online store.

In related news, Casio has recently launched a wild banana-themed G-Shock DW5600, alongside three new Mudman GDG-B100 watches featuring MIP displays and basic fitness tracking.

Casio has released a new variant of its DW5600 digital watch in the US. The company partnered with the clothing and pop-culture retailer BAIT to produce the DW5600BAIT26-9. It costs $170 and is available now on the Casio US website. The main difference between this model and a standard G-Shock is the exterior, which is yellow with brown spots to resemble a banana.

Design Details

BAIT calls this design Yamagata’s Finest. The name refers to Casio’s Premium Production Line factory, which is located in Yamagata Prefecture, Japan. According to the product listing, the banana pattern is meant to be a joke about timing, specifically referencing the short window when a banana is ripe. The watch comes in custom packaging that matches the theme, including a branded tin can and a box. The packaging features a mascot character called Shawty with Freckles.

Underneath the yellow and brown exterior, the hardware is a standard DW5600. The case measures 48.9 x 42.8 x 13.4 mm and weighs 52 grams. Casio is using a combination of standard resin and bio-based resin for the case and bezel. The band is made of regular resin, and the digital display is covered by mineral glass. Like most G-Shock watches, it is shock-resistant and has a water resistance rating of 200 meters.

The watch runs on a single CR2016 battery. Casio says that the battery should last about five years before it needs replacing.

The software features are identical to other basic digital watches in Casio’s lineup. It has a 1/100-second stopwatch. There is also a 24-hour countdown timer that can be set in increments of seconds, minutes, or hours, and it includes an auto-repeat function.

Additionally, it includes a multi-function alarm, an hourly time signal, and a full auto-calendar. The watch has a blue LED backlight, and a built-in flash alert function makes the screen flash in sync with the alarm buzzer. It keeps time with an accuracy of plus or minus 15 seconds per month.

In related news, Casio has recently launched three new Mudman GDG-B100 watches featuring MIP displays and basic fitness tracking, along with two stunning square G-Shock models adorned with lab-grown blue sapphires.

Casio is releasing three new Mudman GDG-B100 watches in Japan this October. The models are priced at ¥38,500 ($244) and are currently available for pre-order on the Casio Japan website.

Design Details

The lineup consists of the black GDG-B100-1, the olive-accented GDG-B100-1A3, and the tan-accented GDG-B100-1A5. This release integrates basic activity tracking and smartphone connectivity into the standard G-Shock digital watch format.

The watches feature a Memory in Pixel (MIP) LCD, which delivers better contrast than a conventional digital display and improves visibility under direct sunlight. Casio has also equipped the models with a red LED backlight for use in darker environments. The red illumination is particularly useful outdoors at night, as it helps preserve natural night vision compared to the white or blue backlights commonly used on digital watches.

For the exterior, the case uses a bumper guard design. The center case is positioned between a multifaceted front bezel and a rear bumper to handle physical impacts. As part of the Mudman line, the watch incorporates carbon fiber-reinforced resin and gaskets on the button shafts to block dirt, dust, and mud. The watch measures 63.6 x 49.6 x 16.2 mm and weighs 66 grams. The case, bezel, and band are manufactured using bio-based resins.

The GDG-B100 includes an accelerometer to track steps, pace, and calories burned. It does not have built-in GPS. Instead, it uses Bluetooth to connect to a smartphone via the Casio Watches app. You can calibrate the watch’s distance tracking using your phone’s GPS.

After this initial calibration, the watch can estimate distances independently. The Bluetooth connection also supports vibration alerts for incoming calls, emails, and app notifications, alongside automatic time syncing.

Casio uses a standard CR2032 coin-cell battery to power the watch, with an estimated lifespan of about two years. There is no Tough Solar support here, unlike some other models in the company’s lineup. The watch also offers 200-meter water resistance, stopwatch functionality, interval timers, and world time across 38 time zones.

In related news, Casio has recently launched two stunning square G-Shock watches featuring lab-grown blue sapphires, alongside three quirky G-Shock models inspired by sushi.

Casio is releasing two new watches to mark the 30th anniversary of its high-end MR-G line. Both models are based on the classic square G-Shock silhouette, but they integrate lab-grown blue sapphires directly into their metal bezels. The two watches, the MRG-B5000SA and the GMW-B5000SB, will be available in the US and Japan starting in late November 2026.

Design Details and Pricing

The more expensive of the two is the MRG-B5000SA-2, which costs $6,600/¥880,000 and is limited to a production run of 500 units worldwide. The defining hardware feature is the inclusion of two 2-carat lab-grown blue sapphires set into the top and bottom of the bezel.

Casio says that it opted for lab-grown stones because they offer more consistent color and clarity than natural gemstones. The watch case is made of Ti64 titanium, while the top bezel uses a cobalt-chrome alloy called Cobarion. The metal features blue ion plating to match the stones, and the watch comes with a fluoro rubber band. In total, it weighs 103 grams.

For a much lower price, Casio is also offering the GMW-B5000SB-1A2 for $770/¥110,000. Instead of titanium and Cobarion, this model uses a standard stainless steel case with a black ion-plated finish and a basic resin band, which brings the weight to 98 grams.

Rather than two large stones, this version places four smaller, round-cut lab-grown sapphires into the four dimples on the bezel. To ensure the watch maintains its standard shock resistance with gemstones embedded in the metal, Casio added stainless steel mounting bases and rubber buffers underneath each sapphire.

Internally, both watches function like standard modern connected G-Shocks. They run on Casio’s Tough Solar power system and include Multi-Band 6 for radio-controlled time calibration.

They also feature Bluetooth connectivity, allowing you to link the watch to the Casio Watches smartphone app. Through the app, you can automatically sync the time, configure world time settings for about 300 cities, set reminders, and use a phone finder tool.

Beyond the connectivity, the basic specifications are exactly what you would expect from the 5000 series. Both models have 200 meters of water resistance, a 1/100-second stopwatch, a 24-hour countdown timer, five daily alarms, and an LED backlight.

In related news, Casio has launched three sushi-inspired G-Shock watches, along with three stylish GMA-S160 models featuring lightweight, compact designs.

Casio has announced a new set of three G-Shock watches in Japan. Manufactured at the company’s Yamagata Casio facility, the upcoming models take standard G-Shock hardware and apply colors, materials, and textures designed to look like tuna, salmon roe, and salmon. The watches are currently available for pre-order on the Casio Japan website and are scheduled to ship later this month.

Design Details & Pricing

The first model is the DW-5600SSH-4JR, which costs ¥19,250 (around $122). It is based on the digital 5600 series and is designed around lean tuna. The watch uses a red, translucent clear resin for the case and band. The face features a printed pattern meant to look like tuna meat, alongside green accents that represent wasabi and a small tuna silhouette on the dial. The case, bezel, and band are made from biomass plastic.

The second watch is the DW-6900SSH-1JR, priced at ¥20,350 ($128). This model uses the round 6900 case to replicate the look of an ikura gunkan-maki, or salmon roe sushi. The black bezel is meant to represent the nori seaweed wrap, while the transparent dial contains a graphical pattern of salmon roe. To complete the design, the underside of the resin band is white to represent sushi rice.

The third model in the lineup is the analog-digital GA-2100SSH-4AJR, which retails for ¥21,450 ($136). Based on fresh salmon, the watch has an orange colorway and a dial textured to look like salmon flesh. Casio has also changed the handset for this model: the hour and minute hands are shaped like Japanese kitchen knives, and the small sub-dial hand is designed to look like a piece of nigiri. This watch includes the Carbon Core Guard structure and a double LED light.

Beyond the cosmetic changes, these function as standard G-Shock watches. All three models include shock-resistant construction, 200-meter water resistance, stopwatches, timers, alarms, and LED backlights. The two digital models have an estimated battery life of five years, while the analog-digital GA-2100 is rated for three years.

Casio also included a few shared design elements across the collection. The stainless steel case backs are engraved with a Japanese teacup, which is traditionally served at the end of a sushi meal. The packaging is styled after Japanese souvenir boxes. When the watches are removed from the packaging, a printed wasabi graphic is visible underneath, except on the salmon roe model, which features a no wasabi graphic instead.

In related news, Casio has recently launched three stylish GMA-S160 G-Shock watches with lightweight designs, along with a jaw-dropping limited-edition MRG-D5000 G-Shock crafted from blue sapphire.

Casio has announced the GMA-S160, a new series of analog-digital watches. The lineup is now available for pre-order through the Casio Japan website for ¥20,900 ($132), which includes tax.

Casio GMA-S160 Specifications

The series launches with three standard color options: black (GMA-S160-1BJF), navy (GMA-S160-2BJF), and white (GMA-S160-7AJF). The primary update with this release is a reduction in overall size, providing an option for users who prefer a smaller case profile than the company’s standard models.

The GMA-S160 measures 40.7 x 35.7 x 10.8 mm and weighs 31 grams. To achieve these dimensions, Casio says that it optimized the internal component structure, resulting in a module that is slimmer and more compact than the existing GMA-P2100 series. The exterior design utilizes a matte finish across the bezel and band, which is paired with a metallic watch face and metallic hardware on the buckle and band loop.

For the construction materials, Casio is using bio-based resin for key components in both the bezel and the band. The GMA-S160 retains the standard durability specifications associated with Casio’s hardware. The watches feature a shock-resistant construction and are rated for 200 meters of water resistance.

The display is a hybrid format, using two analog hands to indicate the hour and minute, while a digital screen displays the seconds, date, day of the week, and AM/PM status.

The internal software includes standard timekeeping functions. It features a dual time mode, a one-second stopwatch with a 59-minute and 59-second capacity, and a full auto-calendar. It also includes the hand-shift function, which temporarily moves the analog hands out of the way to provide a clear view of the digital display.

For low-light visibility, the watch is equipped with a double LED system that lights up both the analog dial and the digital screen. The device is powered by a CR1025 battery, which has an estimated lifespan of three years.

In related news, Casio has recently launched a jaw-dropping limited-edition MRG-D5000 G-Shock made from blue sapphire, along with a pastel pink G-Shock in the US featuring a special pink ribbon detail.

Casio has announced a new addition to its MR-G watch series, the MRG-D5000 Blue Sapphire, to mark the 30th anniversary of the product line, and to be honest, the new timepiece looks absolutely gorgeous.

Pricing and Availability

The watch is listed on the Casio US website for $80,000, with interested buyers currently able to register for an opportunity to purchase one. It is also scheduled to launch in Japan in December 2026 for ¥11,000,000, including tax.

Design Details

This watch features an exterior case built using blue sapphire crystal. Because sapphire is rigid and can be prone to shattering under direct impact, the company implemented a specific Multi-Guard Structure to maintain the shock resistance the brand is known for.

The sapphire crystal is paired with titanium components that have been treated with a diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating. This combination keeps the watch’s weight at 121 grams. Its dimensions are 51.1 x 43.2 x 16.5 mm. The face design includes a blue brick pattern, and the watch is fitted with a Dura Soft rubber strap that secures via a newly designed one-touch three-fold clasp.

Internally, the MRG-D5000 operates on the Tough Solar power system, which reliably converts light into energy to keep the device running. The rechargeable battery provides up to 11 months of operation under normal conditions without light exposure, and up to 22 months when stored in the dark with the power-saving function enabled.

For time accuracy, the watch uses Multi Band 6 technology. This allows it to receive radio-controlled time calibration signals up to six times a day from stations in Japan, North America, the UK, Germany, and China.

The watch includes 200-meter water resistance, a 1/100-second stopwatch, a 24-hour countdown timer, and world time functionality covering 38 time zones. It also features five daily alarms, an automatic calendar, and a white LED backlight for visibility in low light.

Casio is limiting the production of the MRG-D5000 Blue Sapphire to 20 units worldwide. Each watch will feature a screw-lock back plate engraved to indicate its limited-edition status and will be shipped in specialized packaging.

In related news, Casio has recently launched a pastel pink G-Shock in the US with a special pink ribbon detail, alongside three affordable FB100W watches featuring Bluetooth connectivity and step tracking.

The post Casio launches jaw-dropping limited-edition MRG-D5000 G-Shock made from blue sapphire appeared first on Gizmochina.

Casio has released the FB100W in the US, a digital watch that combines the company’s familiar 1980s design language with basic Bluetooth connectivity and step tracking. Following its initial release in Japan last month, the watch is now available stateside for $64.95.

Casio FB100W Specifications

The FB100W is essentially a traditional digital watch updated for users who want basic health tracking without committing to a full-fledged smartwatch. On the outside, it closely resembles older Casio models like the F-91W.

It has a simple, angular resin case that measures just 8.8mm thick and weighs 26 grams. The band is made from a bio-based resin and features small slits on the inside to help with airflow and sweat management during workouts, while the outside maintains a standard ribbed look.

The main hardware addition is a built-in accelerometer. The watch tracks your steps automatically and displays your daily count directly on the standard LCD screen. There is also a small six-level graph that shows your hourly step activity over the past seven hours.

You can set a daily step goal anywhere between 1,000 and 50,000 steps, and the watch can be configured to beep and display a prompt if you are falling behind on your target.

For the connected features, the FB100W uses Bluetooth to link with the Casio Watches smartphone app. This connection handles automatic time syncing, which is useful for travel or daylight saving time, and allows you to adjust the watch’s settings directly from your phone. The app also stores your step data, creating a basic daily activity log.

Because it lacks a power-hungry display or continuous heart rate monitoring, the FB100W does not need to be charged. It runs on a standard CR2016 coin-cell battery, which Casio estimates will last about two years before needing a replacement.

The watch also retains standard digital features, including a 1/100-second stopwatch with a 200-lap memory, a 60-minute countdown timer, dual time support, five daily alarms, and a green LED backlight for visibility in the dark.

Pricing and Availability

The FB100W is available now through the Casio US website. It comes in three standard color options: the F-B100W-1A (black with blue accents), the F-B100W-1B (an all-black finish with a dark negative display), and the F-B100W-3A (teal green).

In related news, Casio has recently launched new F-91WF watches in the US with recycled bands while retaining the iconic design, alongside new AQ-240E models with sleek navy and glossy black retro styling.

Casio has released two new G-Shock watches in the United States, following their initial launch in India earlier this week. The new models, the GMA-P2110B-1A and GMA-P2110B-5A, are now available on the Casio US website for $145 each.

Casio GMA-P2110B Specifications

These watches are part of Casio’s analog-digital line and are designed with a smaller form factor than standard G-Shock models. The case dimensions are 46 x 40.5 x 11.3 mm, and the watch weighs 37 grams. This size is intended to fit narrower wrists while retaining the octagonal bezel shape that Casio uses across its 2100 series hardware.

The two models come in monochromatic color schemes: the 1A model is black, and the 5A model is brown. Both feature a metallic bezel ring that provides a slight visual contrast to the matte finish of the watch body. For the materials, Casio is using bio-based resin for key components in both the bezel and the band.

Functionally, the GMA-P2110B series includes the standard set of features typical of the G-Shock line. The watches are built with shock-resistant construction and offer water resistance up to 200 meters. The dial uses an analog-digital hybrid display covered by mineral glass.

It includes a hand-shift feature, which temporarily moves the physical analog hands out of the way when you need an unobstructed view of the digital screen. For visibility in low light, the watch has a double LED light system, one for the analog face and a separate backlight for the digital display, with adjustable illumination durations of 1.5 or 3 seconds.

Internally, the watches support world time across 31 time zones, covering 48 cities and coordinated universal time (UTC), with an option to toggle daylight saving time. Additionally, these include a 1/100-second stopwatch, a 24-hour countdown timer, five daily alarms, an hourly time signal, and a full auto-calendar.

The watches are powered by a standard CR1025 battery. Casio estimates the battery life to be approximately three years before a replacement is needed.

Casio is bringing its newest streetwear collaboration to the US market. The company has listed the DW-5600BEP-9, a G-Shock designed in partnership with Tokyo-based apparel brand BlackEyePatch, on its US website. The watch originally launched in Japan earlier in September and is now scheduled to go on sale in the US on October 9th, 2026, for $165.

Design Details

This release marks the third collaboration between Casio and BlackEyePatch. The new model uses the DW-5600 as its base, a standard G-Shock silhouette that shares its square shape with the original DW-5000.

The exterior features a gold-tone bezel and band paired with a standard black digital display. Casio indicates that the colorway is intended to reflect the hip-hop culture that influences the BlackEyePatch brand. The watch also features an engraved BlackEyePatch logo on the case back and comes in custom packaging.

Regarding materials, the DW-5600BEP-9 incorporates bio-based resin for its case, bezel, and band. The case measures 48.9 x 42.8 x 13.4 millimeters and weighs 53 grams, making it relatively standard for the 5600 series. The digital display is covered by basic mineral glass.

Internally, the watch runs on a CR2016 battery, which Casio estimates will last for five years. It includes the standard set of G-Shock features: shock resistance, 200-meter water resistance, a 1/100-second stopwatch, a 24-hour countdown timer, and a multi-function alarm.

It also has a flash alert system that links a buzzer and the LED backlight to alarms and timers. The backlight is Casio’s Super Illuminator, which emits a white LED for visibility in the dark. The timekeeping module maintains an accuracy of ±15 seconds per month and features a full auto-calendar.

In related news, Casio has recently launched one of its most extravagant G-Shocks yet with real platinum leaf, alongside new G-Steel GST-B1000 watches in the US with solar power and slimmer cases.

The post Casio launches new collab DW-5600 G-Shock watch in the US with flashy gold makeover appeared first on Gizmochina.

Casio is releasing a new limited-edition G-Shock, the MRG-B2100HR-1A, this November 2026. Designed to mark the 30th anniversary of the company’s MR-G line, the watch combines traditional Japanese metalworking with modern laser processing.

It will be restricted to a production run of 800 units worldwide, each engraved with a serial number, and carries a suggested retail price of ¥1,100,000 (~$6,928) in Japan.

Design Details

Casio partnered with Hiroto Rakusho, a metal leaf artisan based in Kyoto, to apply platinum leaf to the watch’s latticework dial. Because the foil stamping is done by hand, the texture and light reflection on each of the 800 units will vary slightly.

For the bezel and bracelet, Casio is using a structural color technique rather than traditional pigments or dyes. The company uses an ultrashort-pulse laser to cut microscopic textures into the metal surface. These micro-structures reflect light to create a color-shifting effect that changes depending on the viewing angle, a process similar to how light interacts with certain minerals or butterfly wings.

The watch is constructed from a mix of high-hardness alloys. The top bezel is made of Cobarion, a cobalt-chrome alloy that is significantly harder than standard titanium. The bracelet uses DAT55G titanium, while the main case, case back, and buttons are machined from Ti64 titanium.

To maintain the standard G-Shock shock resistance with a full-metal exterior, the bezel is split into 27 separate components with built-in buffers. The entire exterior is then finished with a diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating to prevent scratching.

Internally, the MRG-B2100HR-1A functions like a standard connected G-Shock. It runs on Casio’s Tough Solar power system, which provides up to five months of battery life on a single charge under normal use.

The watch uses Bluetooth to automatically sync the time through the Casio Watches smartphone app, while Multi-Band 6 radio control provides another option for accurate timekeeping. It also features 200-meter water resistance, sapphire crystal glass, and an LED backlight.

In related news, Casio has recently launched its slimmer, solar-powered G-Steel GST-B1000 watches in the US, along with five new MTP-E740 models in India featuring colorful dials and an all-steel design.
