Casio has introduced another location-themed watch to its ever-expanding G-Shock lineup. This time the spotlight is on Harbin, the frigid capital of China’s Heilongjiang province, famous for its long winters and annual ice festivals. 

The new model is officially called the Casio G-Shock GA-2100 Harbin City Edition (GA-2100AS-2APRH). 

Casio G-Shock Harbin City Edition Overview 

At its core, this is still the same GA-2100 that G-Shock fans already know. The watch keeps the slim octagonal case that made the 2100 series popular, along with the tough resin construction and hybrid analog-digital layout. 

What makes the Harbin edition different is the visual theme built around ice and snow. Its strap has a distinctive cracked-ice pattern inspired by the way the Songhua River fractures when it first freezes each winter.

The strap also has the words “ICE CITY, on the lower band, while the back of the case is engraved with a silhouette of the city’s historic St. Sophia Cathedral. The watch head is navy blue in color, and the dial inside is in a semi-transparent blue theme. 

Not just the watch, the packaging box also gets special treatment. The watch arrives in an acrylic box designed to look like a block of ice. Buyers also receive a small snowflake-shaped “G” pin as an added collectible touch.

Functionally, nothing has changed from the regular GA-2100. The Harbin edition includes an analog/digital display, world time, stopwatch, auto-calendar, double LED lights, and five alarms. 

Also obvious is the fact that the watch can run for about three years on its standard battery. It is also 20 Bar water resistance, which means it can handle significant water pressure, equivalent to about 200 meters (660 feet) deep.

Casio plans to sell the GA-2100AS-2APRH in China for CNY 990 (about $142).

The post Casio launches G-Shock Harbin City Edition watch inspired by Ice City appeared first on Gizmochina.

Casio’s G-Shock continues to be one of the most beloved watch families for its durability, design diversity, and collector appeal. As we look toward 2026, several fresh models and collaborations are already being teased or revealed in fresh leaks, ranging from full-metal premium timepieces to fun limited editions tied to global brands. So if you’re looking forward to Casio’s new 2026 watch lineup, here are a few upcoming models to look out for.

GMW-BZ5000 Rainbow Edition

Casio is rumored to be working on a premium new watch that could get a multicolored hue to its metallic shine. Following the launch of the GMW-BZ5000, the popular watch maker is reportedly preparing to release a new GMW-BZ5000RC-1 model, which could be a rainbow ion plated version. This limited edition will add a bold gradient finish to the already modern classic silhouette of the 5000 series, blending premium materials with eye-catching style.

It will also bring a full metal case with premium features that likely include Tough Solar power, Bluetooth connectivity, and Multi-Band 6 radio timekeeping. The original GMW-BZ5000D came with a black and gold ion plated variant recently, so the new limited edition model adds a bold new finish, which is likely aimed at collectors and enthusiasts.

G-Shock x Coca-Cola CasiOak

For collectors and fans of quirky collaborations, one of Casio’s 2026 lineup might be the perfect fit. Casio and Coca-Cola previously teamed up on limited editions, and leaked info suggests a follow-up model. Reportedly, the next model in the series is the GA-2100CC-3A with design cues inspired by Coca-Cola’s classic branding and the iconic green glass bottle aesthetic for the popular CasiOak watch. These kinds of collaboration models generally focus on eye-catching design details, co-branded packaging, and collectible appeal rather than major technical upgrades. But this helps it stand out from a traditional watch.

Japanese shochu meets Casio G-Shock

The Coca-Cola edition CasiOak isn’t the only collaboration in the works, as a recent leak hints at another partnership for a special edition G-Shock watch. Casio is apparently joining hands with Japanese shochu label iichiko Super, which is built on the GM-5600U square. Based on the leaked images, there is a stainless steel bezel, a negative digital display and a custom strap with a red stripe and blue tip with iichiko Super’s bottle colors. The strap even carries the Japanese spirit makers’ logo. Expect limited quantities and a distinct design that celebrates both brands’ identities.

Speed meets precision with Casio x Honda

While not strictly G-Shock, the Edifice x Honda collaboration (ECB-2300HR-1AJR) is part of Casio’s broader 2026 wristwear lineup and worth mentioning for its premium build and racing-inspired design. Officially listed in Japan with a March 2026 release and a price tag around ¥66,000 (~$426), this limited edition draws on the story of Honda’s historic motorsport achievements. Edifice models blend precise chronograph functionality with bold aesthetic nods to automotive heritage, making them a strong choice for fans of performance-inspired timepieces.

The post What’s Next for G-Shock in 2026: The Best New Casio Watches to Watch Out For appeared first on Gizmochina.

Casio has launched the G-Shock MRG-B2000KT-3A in Japan, a new limited-edition model inspired by traditional Japanese sword craftsmanship. Only 800 units will be sold worldwide, each engraved by master metalworker Masao Kobayashi.

The design takes cues from the tsuba, the guard between a sword’s blade and handle, known for both protection and decoration. The bezel features a phoenix engraving created using the Shishi-Aibori hammering technique. The phoenix, a long-standing symbol of peace and prosperity, is hand-carved with a hammer and chisel, making each piece unique. The bezel is made of titanium with a green DLC coating that mimics the “kuroganeiro” or black iron color seen in forged steel. Four emeralds, representing wisdom and spiritual strength, are set into the bezel screws for a touch of contrast and depth.

The case carries a unique pattern inspired by “nie,” the crystallized edge pattern seen on tempered swords. It is made by recrystallizing pure titanium and finished with brown AIP coating for hardness and a copper tone. A metal plate marked “2025 LIMITED” is set on the side at 9 o’clock. The dial ring has a gradient finish that fades from red to orange, while the arrow feather design on the dial references the hamaya charm used to ward off evil. These details are created using precision machining at Yamagata Casio.

The dark green Durasoft fluorine rubber strap is durable, soft to the touch, and resistant to discoloration and wear. It features a Bishamon tortoiseshell pattern, a Japanese symbol of strength. The titanium clasp is deep-hardened and treated with the same brown AIP finish for added durability.

The MRG-B2000KT-3A offers 20-bar water resistance, Bluetooth connectivity for automatic time correction, solar power charging, and multi-band radio control compatible with Japan, North America, Europe, and China. Other functions include a Super Illuminator LED light, world time for 300 cities, stopwatch, timer, alarm, and a power-saving feature.

The watch measures 54.7 x 49.8 x 16.9 mm, weighs 138 g, and uses a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating. The case and bezel are made from titanium, and the crown uses a screw-lock structure. It keeps an average monthly accuracy of ±15 seconds when not connected to radio or Bluetooth signals.

Pricing & availability

Casio’s G-Shock MRG-B2000KT-3A will go on sale in Japan in November 2025 for ¥935,000 (about $6,073). Only 800 serial-numbered pieces will be produced worldwide, and Casio is expected to release the model in other regions in the coming weeks. Each watch will come with its serial number and a special edition package.

Apart from the new hue, the G-Shock watches still retain their original specs. In other words, you can expect to find key specs like the 200 meter water resistance, shock resistance, world time, stopwatch, and more. Some models even come with solar charging and smartphone sync technology as well (via Bluetooth). So if you wanted to grab a new G-Shock in this sharp contrasting color, you can head to the brand’s official website to check these out.

As of right now, the Black and Bold Red G-Shock is rolling out globally. The Casio DW-5600BBR-1, GD010BBR-1, and GA700BBR-1A G-Shocks arrive with a 99 US Dollar price tag.

Features and Functions

The watch has World Time, which lets you track 5 different time zones from 31 options. The stopwatch counts to 1/100-second for the first 60 minutes, then switches to 1-second timing after that. The countdown timer goes up to 24 hours.

There are 5 daily alarms, and one has a snooze function. The Super Illuminator backlight turns on automatically, and you can pick how long it stays on. The calendar works automatically until 2099.

Other features include 12/24-hour time display, day names in different languages, a mute button, and a battery level indicator.

Availability and Price

The G-5600SFJ-9 will be available in Japan and the UK starting June 2025. It’s priced at ¥20,900 in Japan (around $145). The Casio UK site lists the watch but hasn’t revealed the price yet.

Casio has introduced the G-Shock DW-5000R in India, following its launch in markets like the US, UK, and EU. This model is a tribute to the original 1983 G-SHOCK DW-5000C, staying true to its classic design while incorporating modern updates.

The DW-5000R closely resembles the original with its bezel design, featuring a flat top surface with “PROTECTION” lettering and the G-SHOCK logo. The dial retains the red, blue, and yellow accents from the 1983 model, each representing a key feature: red for passion, blue for 200-meter water resistance, and yellow for shock resistance. A textured brick-patterned dial enhances its rugged look.

Made at Yamagata Casio, the brand’s premium manufacturing facility, the watch has a stainless-steel case with a mirror-polished finish, maintaining the original “Shock Resistant” design. Modern additions include a high-brightness “Super Illuminator” LED backlight for better visibility in low light and a bezel and band made from bio-based resin for a reduced environmental impact.

Just yesterday, we talked about all of the reasons why Casio watches are better than smartwatches. Before that, we shared a list of best Casio G-Shock watches with smart features. So now, let’s shift our focus to the best Casio G-Shock watches under $300. At this price, you can still get some premium features, without breaking the bank. So let’s have a look.

Casio G-Shock Move (DWH5600-2)

The first on the list is the DWH5600-2 from Casio’s 5600 series. This G-Shock Move watch functions similarly to a fitness tracking smartwatch. It supports Bluetooth connectivity and can track your health related data from its sensor, which includes heart rate tracking, blood oxygen level mapping, and more. For $299, you also get a durable watch with shock resistance and 200 meter water resistance. There is also an assisted solar charging feature as well.

Casio G-Shock GravityMaster (GRB300EC-1A)

Casio is known for its durable watches and the G-Shock GravityMaster (GRB300EC-1A) is a great example of this. It is built with a Carbon Core Guard with a shock resistant body that offers 200 meter water resistance as well. There is also support for solar powered charging along with Bluetooth Link for seamless controls via a smartphone. This model is listed for $300 and is a watch that blends durability with modern features. You can simultaneously track time in two cities, have a flight log feature, and an LED light illuminator.

The post Best Casio G-Shock Watches Under $300 appeared first on Gizmochina.

While smartwatches have become quite popular in the modern day, it’s easy to forget the reliability and timeless appeal of classic watches. A brand that perfectly encapsulates durability, style, and reliability is Casio. Their watches stand out for their simplicity as well, but they have started embracing modern technology with some of its popular lineups like G-Shock. So now, here are reasons why Casio watches are better than some smartwatches.

The Style and Durability

Casio isn’t a simple one trick pony with G-Shock. There are also Edifice, Oceanus, Pro Trek, and the basic Casio branded watches. What you need to know is that Casio isn’t built only for outdoor enthusiasts, there are options for stylish and elegant watches that carry the iconic designs. You also get watches built for sports enthusiasts as well.

One of the most compelling reasons to choose a Casio watch over a smartwatch is its durability. Casio watches, especially models like the G-Shock, are known for being nearly indestructible (slight exaggeration). These watches are shock-resistant, water-resistant, and built to withstand harsh environments. Meanwhile, smartwatches house various delicate screens and components that are prone to damage from impact or extended exposure to water.

Long Battery Life

Casio Watches offers better endurance as well. A Casio analog or digital watch can run for years on a single battery. There are even models with solar powered G-Shock series that can last for months without needing a recharge. There are some variants that offer smart features that require more regular charging, but these still have a higher battery life than most smartwatches. So you avoid the hassle of basically charging another device like your smartphone.

Reduced Distractions

One of my biggest issues with smartwatches and all of their innovative smart features is the distractions that they cause. I’m not sold on the idea of having two screens that I constantly look at. Getting the same notification on two screens is basically another smartphone strapped to your wrist. Smart health and fitness tracking features is one of the few things I like about smartwatches, and these are already available on Casio G-Shocks as well.

G-Shock Getting Smarter

We recently covered a list of some of the best Casio G-Shock watches that supports smart functionalities. So you’re getting the iconic and tough design with the latest health related trackers. This includes optical sensors for heart rate and blood oxygen level tracking, an accelerometer to count your steps, solar charging, Strava compatibility to track sports activities and analysis, and even GPS tracking as well. So you get the best of both worlds without another screen to distract you.

A new limited-edition G-Shock watch has been unveiled, this time in collaboration with the Japanese clothing brand buddix. The buddix x Casio G-Shock DW-5600 is a stylish take on the classic DW-5600 model, featuring a white base with green and red buddix logos across the band and engraved on the back.

While specific details about the watch’s features haven’t been officially confirmed, it’s likely to share the core functionalities of other DW-5600 models, including a 1/100th second stopwatch, countdown timer, multiple alarms, hourly time signal, fully automatic calendar, Super Illuminator LED backlight, and a long battery life of up to five years.

Pricing & availability

The buddix x Casio G-Shock DW-5600 is currently available for purchase in Japan, both online and at the Vertical Garage store in Nakameguro, Tokyo. Priced at ¥17,600 (approximately $114). Unfortunately, there’s no word on an international release for this collaboration watch, and chances are high that it will stay exclusive to Japan only.

That said, due to their popularity, Casio brought over its Shiba Inu-Inspired G-Shock Watches to the global market, so there is still hope for the buddix collab to show up overseas. Another attractive watch based on the G-Shock DW5600 is the latest collaboration of Casio with the renowned streetwear brand Bait, resulting in an all-white, 80s-era Apple-inspired design dubbed “Innovation.” This limited-edition watch is available for around $150 at Bait’s online and physical stores in the US.

Casio has introduced the G-Shock DW-5000R, a carefully crafted revival of the original 1983 G-SHOCK DW-5000C. This new release honors the original design that made waves with its toughness and durability while adding a few thoughtful updates for today’s wearers.

Honoring the G-SHOCK Legacy

The DW-5000R celebrates the roots of G-SHOCK, a brand that changed what people expected from a wristwatch. Originally built to survive tough conditions—like construction sites and outdoor adventures—it quickly became a symbol of resilience. With this reissue, Casio stays true to that heritage while bringing in features that resonate with modern lifestyles.

True to the Original Design

Casio has worked hard to recreate the details that made the 1983 model so iconic. The band mirrors the original in both length and texture, down to the signature dimples near the holes. The stainless-steel center case and screw-lock backplate still feature the timeless “Shock Resistant” engraving.

The face retains the bold red, blue, and yellow accents of the original, while the flat bezel proudly displays the classic “PROTECTION” and “G-SHOCK” lettering. Just like the first G-SHOCK, the DW-5000R is built at Yamagata Casio, keeping its production tied to the brand’s history.

Upgraded for Modern Life

While the DW-5000R stays true to its vintage look, it comes with a few modern enhancements. A high-brightness LED backlight ensures you can check the time in the dark, and Casio has switched to bio-based resin for the bezel and band, making the watch more eco-friendly.

Reliable and Built to Last

The DW-5000R is packed with practical features designed to handle daily wear and tear:

• Shock Resistance: Built to take a beating, just like the original.
• Water Resistance: Rated for up to 200 meters, so it’s ready for swimming or diving.
• Battery Life: A CR2016 battery powers the watch for about five years.
• Everyday Tools: Includes a multi-function alarm, 24-hour countdown timer, and a 1/100-second stopwatch.
• LED Backlight: A “Super Illuminator” makes it easy to read in low light.
• Tough Materials: Combines stainless steel with bio-based resin for a durable yet lightweight feel.

Weighing just 76 grams and sized at 48.9 × 42.3 × 13.1 mm, the DW-5000R is comfortable, compact, and ready for action.

The bezel combines blue and silver IP finishes and is made from layered carbon and glass fiber, with a pattern resembling lightning streaks. A phosphorescent layer glows in the dark, simulating lightning flashes. The resin band, with mixed dark tones, is designed to reflect the colors of supercell clouds and turbulent weather.

The MTG-B2000YST1 is built for durability with a multi-layered carbon frame and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating. It is water-resistant up to 200 meters, making it suitable for a range of activities. Despite its sturdy build, the watch is lightweight at 104 grams.
