Casio has released two new G-Shock watches in the US market: the GST-B1000BD-1A and the GST-B1000BD-2A. Both models are part of the G-Steel lineup and were initially launched in Japan last month. They are currently available for $510.

Design Details

G-Shocks are traditionally known for their bulky profiles, but Casio has managed to slim these models down to an 11.6mm thickness. The overall case dimensions sit at 46.9 x 44.2 x 11.6 mm, and the watch weighs 118 grams.

This reduction in size is achieved through a more compact internal module and adhesive glass bonding, which trims the bulk without compromising the brand’s standard shock-resistant construction.

Aesthetically, both watches lean heavily into a minimalist, monochromatic look. They feature black ion plating across the stainless steel band, case back, side buttons, crown, and even the external screws. Casio has also opted for a logo-less bezel, which features a mix of brushed and polished metal finishes for texture.

The case itself is built using a mix of stainless steel and bio-based carbon, utilizing Casio’s Carbon Core Guard structure to protect the internal components from physical impact.

On the technology side, the watches include Casio’s Tough Solar charging system. This solar-powered setup can run the watch for up to five months on a single charge with normal use, or up to 18 months if stored in total darkness with the power-saving function enabled.

They also feature Bluetooth connectivity. By pairing the watch with the Casio Watches smartphone app, users get automatic time adjustments, a phone finder tool, and easy access to standard watch settings directly from their mobile device.

Both models offer 200 meters of water resistance, a screw-lock crown, and a mineral glass display. For visibility in low light, there is a white LED Super Illuminator with an afterglow function, alongside Neobrite coating on the analog hands. The internal feature set includes a 30-minute stopwatch, a countdown timer, a daily alarm, and a full auto-calendar.

The GST-B1000BD-1A and GST-B1000BD-2A are available to purchase now through Casio’s US retail channels.

In related news, Casio has recently launched two new Color Camo watches in the US, featuring a bold Y2K-inspired design.

The post Casio launches all-black G-Steel watches in the US with Bluetooth, solar charging & slimmer design appeared first on Gizmochina.

Casio has announced the GBX-H5600KI-5, a new addition to its G-LIDE series and the fourth signature model designed with pro surfer Kanoa Igarashi. The watch is currently available for pre-order in Japan for ¥50,600 ($314) and is scheduled to begin shipping later this month.

G-LIDE GBX-H5600KI-5 Specifications

Rather than a standard digital watch, the GBX-H5600KI-5 functions as a dedicated fitness tracker housed in a traditional G-Shock chassis. It is equipped with an optical heart rate sensor and a 3-axis accelerometer. For the software side of its health tracking, Casio is continuing its partnership with Polar, utilizing the fitness company’s algorithms to process training data, cardio load, and sleep recovery metrics.

While it supports standard multi-sport tracking for running and walking, measuring pace, distance, and stride, the software is heavily geared toward ocean use. The watch displays moon phases, sunrise and sunset times, and a tide graph. You can configure the tide settings for approximately 3,300 global locations by pairing the watch with the Casio Watches smartphone app over Bluetooth. The app connection also handles automatic time adjustments, basic phone notifications, and activity log syncing.

For the display, Casio opted for a Memory-in-Pixel (MIP) LCD. MIP panels are standard in outdoor sports wearables because they maintain high contrast and readability in direct sunlight without draining the battery.

In terms of build materials, the bezel and band are constructed from a bio-based resin. The brown mixed-color molding is meant to reference the coastal cliffs of Ericeira, Portugal, where Igarashi trains, while purple accents are used on the watch face. Because the resin is mixed during manufacturing, the physical pattern on each unit will vary slightly.

The watch weighs 47 grams. It retains the standard 200-meter water resistance and shock resistance expected from the brand.

Battery life depends heavily on how the sensors are used. According to Casio’s spec sheet, the watch will run for a maximum of 35 hours with continuous heart rate tracking enabled. If the heart rate monitor is turned off and it is used strictly in watch mode, it will last for about a month. It charges via a proprietary USB Type-A cable, but it also includes built-in solar charging to help maintain the battery level during outdoor exposure.

In related news, Casio has recently launched the lightweight Baby-G BGA-290SA watches with a premium metallic finish, alongside a new translucent G-Shock inspired by 90s streetwear in the US.

The post Casio launches feature-packed GBX-H5600KI-5 watch with heart rate sensor and tide forecasts in the US appeared first on Gizmochina.

When you think of a watch built for the outdoors, Casio‘s G-Shock is likely the first thing that comes to mind. It has been the practical standard for decades.

But Apple has been steadily carving out its own space in this category, and the Apple Watch Ultra 3 shows just how serious the company is about the rugged wearable market.

Choosing between the two isn’t just about comparing spec sheets; it’s about deciding what kind of tool you actually need on your wrist when you head outside.

Design and Build Quality

The Apple Watch Ultra 3 sticks to its familiar titanium case, which is now available in a black finish alongside the natural titanium. It’s built well, featuring MIL-STD 810H certification, IP6X dust resistance, and 100 meters of water resistance.

It comes with a new LTPO3 OLED display, has thinner borders, and gets bright enough, up to 3,000 nits, to read clearly in harsh, direct sunlight. Apple also pairs this with activity-specific bands, like the reflective Trail Loop or the Scub’H Diving band.

Casio takes a distinctly different approach to durability. G-Shocks rely on thick resin bezels, carbon core guards, and deeply recessed screens to absorb impacts. While the Ultra 3 is tough, it still has a large, exposed glass surface that can scratch or crack if you hit it against a rock at the wrong angle.

The G-Shock is designed so that the screen rarely takes a direct hit. It’s a more forgiving design if your daily routine involves heavy manual labor, climbing, or environments where your wrists take a lot of bumps.

Features and Connectivity

This is where the two watches diverge the most. The Ultra 3 is essentially a standalone communication and health device. Running watchOS 26, it offers 5G connectivity and a new two-way satellite communication feature for when you lose cell service, which is a genuine safety benefit for hikers and backpackers. It’s also a comprehensive health tracker, introducing hypertension notifications, detailed sleep scores, and an AI-assisted Workout Buddy alongside standard features like ECG and blood oxygen monitoring.

G-Shocks, meanwhile, offer a wider spectrum of utility depending on what you buy. The traditional models are straightforward, giving you the time, alarms, timers, and maybe a compass or barometer. However, Casio also makes a range of smarter G-Shocks that bridge the gap.

These hybrid models offer Bluetooth smartphone syncing, step tracking, heart rate monitoring, and GPS. They provide the core data a runner or hiker might want, without the constant ping of notifications or the complexity of managing a full smartwatch operating system.

Battery Life

Battery life is often the deciding factor for outdoor gear. Apple has improved the Ultra 3’s battery management, offering about 42 hours of regular use and up to 72 hours in a low-power mode.

The new fast charging is helpful, 15 minutes on the charger gets you about 12 hours of use, but you still need to remember to pack a proprietary charger and a power bank for weekend camping trips.

G-Shocks are much lower maintenance. Standard battery models last for years, and Casio’s solar-powered options can keep ticking indefinitely as long as they get regular sunlight.

Even the smarter G-Shocks equipped with fitness tracking and heart rate sensors can often go weeks between charges. If you don’t want to worry about your watch dying on a trail, Casio has a clear advantage.

Which One is Right for You?

The Apple Watch Ultra 3 and the Casio G-Shock serve different needs. The Ultra 3 is for people who want deep health insights, reliable connectivity, and modern safety features like satellite messaging and crash detection. It’s a highly capable device, provided you are willing to charge it every couple of days.

The G-Shock, whether you opt for a basic model or one with smart fitness tracking, is for those who prioritize reliability and simplicity. It’s a watch you can put on, take into the mud, and largely forget about until you need to check the time or your heart rate.

The post Casio G-Shock vs Apple Watch Ultra 3: Which Rugged Watch is Right for You? appeared first on Gizmochina.

Casio has opened US pre-orders for the DW5600TNT-7, a new G-Shock watch designed in collaboration with the Seoul-based streetwear brand thisisneverthat. The watch, which initially debuted in Japan last month, is priced at $155.

Casio DW5600TNT-7 Specifications

The DW5600TNT-7 uses the familiar square case of the standard DW-5600 line, but swaps out the usual opaque materials for a translucent resin bezel and strap. The clear hardware is paired with an inverted LCD, featuring light text on a dark background, to create a high-contrast, black-and-white color scheme. It is a straightforward design that leans on a 1990s streetwear aesthetic without altering the core shape of the watch.

Casio has added a few specific details for this release. The streetwear brand’s logo is printed across the lower half of the watch face, engraved on the metal case back, and stamped on the resin band loop. Additionally, the standard Protection and G-Shock text engraved into the top and bottom of the bezel has been treated with a phosphorescent finish, allowing the words to glow in the dark.

Underneath the collaborative branding, the watch features the standard hardware and durability metrics of the 5600 series. It measures 48.9 x 42.8 x 13.4 mm and weighs 52 grams. The display is covered by mineral glass, and the case is built to handle Casio’s standard shock resistance alongside 200 meters of water resistance.

For illumination, the watch uses a white LED backlight with an afterglow function. It also includes a flash alert feature, which syncs the backlight to flash alongside the buzzer for alarms, hourly time signals, and countdown timer alerts.

The watch runs on a single CR2016 coin-cell battery, which Casio estimates will last for about five years before needing a replacement.

The DW5600TNT-7 ships in custom packaging designed for the collaboration and can be pre-ordered directly through Casio’s US website.

In related news, Casio has recently launched the Pro Trek PRJ-01 series with analog dials, solar charging, and a carabiner clip, alongside five new Edifice EFK-200 automatic watches.

The post Casio launches new translucent G-Shock inspired by 90s streetwear in the US appeared first on Gizmochina.

Casio has released a new variant of its long-running DW5600 G-Shock series in the US. The DW5600TT25-1 is a $150 collaboration with Japanese tire manufacturer Toyo Tires, applying automotive design cues to the standard digital watch platform.

Design Details

Instead of altering the underlying hardware, the collaboration focuses entirely on cosmetic changes. The watch uses a standard black resin case and band, but the strap is printed with a subtle texture that mimics the tread pattern of Toyo’s Proxes Sport R summer tire.

The dial is white with high-contrast black digital numerals and features the Toyo Tires logo alongside signature blue accents. When you press the button for the LED backlight, a custom Proxes “R” logo appears on the display. Casio is also including custom packaging for this release, shipping the watch in a blue presentation box and a metal tin printed with wheel graphics.

Underneath the co-branding, this is the exact same DW5600 that Casio has been selling for years. It measures 48.9 by 42.8 by 13.4 mm and weighs 52 grams, making it one of the more moderately sized G-Shocks available. The case and bezel are made from a mix of standard and bio-based resins, while the display is covered by mineral glass. It maintains the lineup’s standard shock-resistant construction and 200 meters of water resistance.

The feature set is standard for Casio’s digital modules. The watch includes a 1/100-second stopwatch, a 24-hour countdown timer, a multi-function alarm, and a fully automatic calendar.

It also features a flash alert system that synchronizes the white LED backlight with alarms and timer notifications, causing the light to blink when alerts are triggered. The watch is powered by a standard CR2016 battery, which Casio estimates will provide approximately five years of battery life.

In related news, Casio has recently introduced four gold-accented Bold Camo G-Shock models in the US market and also expanded its lineup with a new collection of affordable metal watches featuring eye-catching blue, green, and gold color options.

The post Casio launches new G-Shock watch in collaboration with Toyo Tires appeared first on Gizmochina.

Casio is releasing four new G-Shock watches in the US market as part of its new Bold Camo series. The collection originally launched earlier this month in Japan, which received a broader six-model lineup, but the US release is limited to four specific models. As a promotional add-on, Casio is currently including a free camouflage pouch with purchases.

Design Details

The main design update across the four watches is a green camouflage pattern printed onto the resin bands and bezels, which integrates a hidden G-mark logo into the design. Aside from the cosmetic changes, all four models retain the standard specifications expected from the G-Shock line, including physical shock resistance and 200-meter water resistance.

The entry point for the new US lineup is the DW-6900CMG-3, priced at $145. It uses the classic 6900 digital silhouette with a standard resin case and bezel. It features a 1/100-second stopwatch, countdown timer, multi-function alarm, and an LED backlight, running on a CR2016 battery estimated to last five years.

Stepping up to $165 is the GA-700CMG-3A, an analog-digital hybrid. It features a larger 57.5mm case and incorporates gold-colored vapor deposition on the dial and hands. It includes world time functionality across 31 time zones and a hand-shift feature to temporarily move the analog hands away from the digital display.

The GA-V01CMG-3A costs $210 and is also an analog-digital model, but its primary hardware difference is a much longer battery life. It uses a CR2025 battery rated for approximately 10 years of use. It also features a double LED light system to separately illuminate both the analog face and the digital readout.

The most expensive model in the lineup is the GM-6900CMG-3 at $280. It shares the exact same digital functionality and five-year battery life as the DW-6900, but it replaces the standard resin bezel with a stainless steel one. The metal bezel is finished with multiple polishing techniques, coated with a gold-colored ion plating, and uses partial laser etching to apply the camouflage pattern directly onto the metal.

All four watches are available to purchase now through Casio’s website and standard retail channels.

The post Casio launches four gold-accented Bold Camo G-Shock watches in the US appeared first on Gizmochina.

Casio has released its latest fitness-oriented digital watches, the G-Shock G-Lide GBX-H5600 series, in the US market. Following an initial launch in Japan earlier this spring, the new models are now available for $330. The GBX-H5600 integrates modern health tracking hardware, including an optical heart rate monitor, into the familiar square G-Shock profile, specifically targeting surfers and outdoor users.

Design Details

The lineup debuts with two models: the black GBX-H5600-1 and the blue GBX-H5600-2. Both feature a translucent bezel and a solid band made from bio-based resin. Casio has managed to reduce the weight of these watches to 47 grams, making them roughly 12 grams lighter than the older DW-H5600 models. This weight reduction is primarily due to a new case back constructed from carbon fiber-reinforced resin.

For the display, Casio is using a high-resolution Memory-in-Pixel (MIP) LCD. MIP panels are standard for outdoor sports watches because they remain highly legible in direct sunlight, which is a necessary practical feature for a device intended for the beach.

Internally, the GBX-H5600 functions as a standard fitness tracker. It includes an optical sensor for heart rate monitoring and blood oxygen level estimates, along with a three-axis accelerometer to track steps, distance, and pace. The software supports multi-sport tracking, sleep analysis, and cardio load measurements.

Because this watch is part of the surf-focused G-Lide series, it also includes tide graphs, moon phase data, and sunrise/sunset times. The watch can be connected to the smartphone app via Bluetooth to load location-specific tide patterns from a database of about 3,300 global surf spots directly to the device.

As a connected watch, it handles basic smart functions. It mirrors smartphone notifications for calls, emails, and social media, and includes a phone finder feature alongside automatic time adjustment.

Power management relies on a hybrid system of USB and solar-assisted charging. If you leave the heart rate monitor running continuously during activities, the battery lasts a maximum of 35 hours. If you turn off the heart rate tracking and use it as a standard digital watch, a single charge lasts about a month. The power-saving mode extends that standby time to roughly 11 months.

In related news, Casio has recently brought its Japanese red lantern-inspired Aka-Chochin G-Shock watches to the US, while also unveiling a new translucent G-Shock model influenced by 1990s streetwear culture.

The post Casio launches two G-Lide GBX-H5600 watches with heart rate tracking & surf-focused tools in the US appeared first on Gizmochina.

Casio is releasing two new G-Shock watches in the US this month. The DW-6900AKA-4 and DW-5600AKA-4, which originally debuted in Japan in April, are now available stateside for $190 each. Both watches are part of the Aka-Chochin series, a lineup designed to look like the traditional red paper lanterns often hung outside taverns in Japan.

Design Details

From a design perspective, the updates here are cosmetic. Both models feature a red case and band made from bio-based resin, a material Casio has been using more frequently across its recent lineups as an alternative to standard plastics. To contrast the red exterior, the watches use black buttons and a black band loop, a detail meant to resemble the dark lacquered holders of the paper lanterns.

On the dial, Casio added kanji characters that translate to shock resistance. Another detail tied to the theme is the LED backlight. Instead of the standard white light, these models use a warmer, orange-tinted glow to mimic a lit lantern in the dark. The watches also include a custom engraving on the case back and ship in themed packaging.

Underneath the red resin, these are standard 5600 and 6900 series G-Shocks. The DW-5600AKA-4 uses the familiar square case design, measuring 48.9 by 42.8 by 13.4 mm and weighing 53 grams. The DW-6900AKA-4 has the classic rounded shape with the triple-graph display, measuring slightly larger at 53.2 by 50 by 18.7 mm and weighing 67 grams.

Both watches offer the standard durability associated with the brand, including basic shock resistance and 200 meters of water resistance. They use a mineral glass display and run on a CR2016 battery, which Casio says should last about five years.

The feature set is identical across both models, including a 1/100-second stopwatch, a 24-hour countdown timer, multi-function alarms, a full auto-calendar, and a flash alert function that links the backlight to the alarm buzzer.

Both the DW-6900AKA-4 and DW-5600AKA-4 are available to purchase now through Casio’s website and standard retail channels.

In related news, Casio has recently unveiled a new translucent G-Shock inspired by 1990s streetwear aesthetics, and also introduced the vintage-style AQ230A-7DMQY watch with a stainless steel bracelet in the US market.

The post Casio launches its Japanese red lantern-inspired G-Shock watches in the US appeared first on Gizmochina.

Casio has released its latest G-Shock, the MTG-B4000B-1A, in the US market. The watch is priced at $1,500 and arrives stateside following its initial launch in Japan last month.

Design Details

The watch features an updated Dual Core Guard structure made from laminated carbon, glass fiber sheets, and stainless steel. To optimize its impact resistance, Casio utilized a collaborative workflow where human designers drafted initial concepts, AI simulated structural stress, and engineers refined the final shape.

Externally, the watch uses a dual-layer stainless steel bezel treated with a black ion-plated finish. The metal components feature a combination of brushed and mirror finishes. The case back is manufactured using metal injection molding, a process that allows for more complex, dimensional shapes than standard machining. This specific model pairs the black carbon frame with red dial accents and a soft urethane band.

In terms of physical specifications, the MTG-B4000B-1A measures 56.6 by 45.3 by 14.4 mm and weighs 112 grams. It carries Casio’s Triple G Resist rating, meaning the internal module is protected against mechanical shock, centrifugal force, and heavy vibration. The dial is covered by a sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating, and the case is water-resistant up to 200 meters.

For daily operation, the watch runs on Casio’s Tough Solar charging system. It includes Bluetooth for pairing with the Casio Watches smartphone app, which manages automatic time synchronization, alarms, and world time settings across 300 cities. For users who prefer a standalone device, it also features Multiband 6 radio control, allowing it to receive time calibration signals directly from six global transmission towers.

The internal battery provides about five months of standard use without light exposure, extending to 18 months if stored in the dark with the power-saving mode enabled. The MTG-B4000B-1A is available now through Casio’s website, though the company currently lists the inventory as limited stock.

The post Casio launches premium MTG-B4000B-1A G-Shock watch with carbon fiber & steel design in the US appeared first on Gizmochina.

Casio is widely recognized for its classic digital designs and highly durable everyday watches. Alongside these familiar favorites, the brand has steadily grown its premium collection over the last few years.

By working with materials like forged stainless steel, carbon fiber, and bio-based resins, Casio has developed a range of watches that offer a more refined finish while keeping the toughness the company is known for.

If you are looking for a watch that blends practical features with upgraded materials, here are seven premium Casio models worth considering in 2026.

G-Shock GM-S2110SR-7A

The GM-S2110SR-7A is a smaller, more compact version of the popular octagonal CasiOak design, making it a good fit for narrower wrists. The defining feature of this model is the watch glass, which has been treated with a polarized vapor deposition process. This gives the glass a subtle gradient effect that shifts colors depending on the angle of the light.

It is paired with a stainless-steel bezel and a white band made from bio-based resin, which Casio has been using more frequently to reduce its reliance on traditional plastics. It is a straightforward, comfortable watch with a distinct visual detail.

Price: $210

G-Shock GM-2100-1ASW

Movie tie-in watches can often be overly flashy, but Casio took a more subdued approach with this model, released alongside the 2026 film Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu.

The GM-2100-1ASW features a forged metal bezel with a textured, industrial finish designed to resemble the Beskar steel from the franchise. It retains the standard G-Shock shock resistance and 200-meter water resistance. As an added detail for collectors, the watch comes with a flat ID card that uses magnets to fold into a 3D display stand for the watch.

Price: $220

Edifice Sospensione ECB2300D-2A

Casio’s Edifice line focuses on motorsport-inspired designs, and the ECB2300D-2A incorporates that theme directly into its physical structure. The lugs connecting the case to the band are shaped like the double wishbone suspension of a race car.

For this iteration, Casio reduced the case diameter by 2mm for a more comfortable daily fit, while using a mix of carbon fiber-reinforced resin and stainless steel to keep it lightweight but rigid. It also includes practical tech features, such as Tough Solar charging and Bluetooth connectivity, which allows the watch to sync the correct time via the Casio smartphone app.

Price: $280

Edifice Automatic EFK110D-7A

Casio is almost entirely known for quartz and digital watches, making the EFK110D-7A a significant departure. This is a mechanical watch powered by an automatic movement made in Japan, offering a 42-hour power reserve.

The design is relatively traditional, featuring a 38mm stainless steel case, a solid stainless steel band, and a textured dial created through an electroforming technique. Casio also included a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and a transparent case back so you can see the mechanical movement inside. It is a practical option for someone who wants a mechanical sports watch without the typical luxury markup.

Price: $300

G-Shock Move GM-H5600-9

The GM-H5600-9 bridges the gap between a traditional digital watch and a modern fitness tracker. From the outside, it looks like a standard metal-clad G-Shock square, featuring a gold ion-plated stainless steel bezel and a bio-based resin band. However, the back of the watch houses an optical sensor for tracking heart rate and blood oxygen levels.

The watch uses algorithms from Polar to analyze workout data, track sleep recovery, and monitor daily steps. The data is displayed on a high-contrast Memory-in-Pixel (MIP) LCD screen. It charges via USB, but also has solar-assisted charging to extend battery life between plug-ins.

Price: $385

G-Shock Fine Metallic GM-110YRA-8A

For those who prefer larger watches, the GM-110YRA-8A takes the oversized 110-series case and upgrades it with a stainless-steel bezel. The metal features a mix of brushed hairline and polished mirror finishes, giving it a more complex look than standard resin models.

The dial incorporates a silver base with red and black accents, while the band is made of a soft silicone covered by a protective urethane film. The underside of the band has a silver vapor deposition finish to match the metal case. It is a bulky, durable watch that leans heavily into a metallic, industrial aesthetic.

Price: $290

G-Shock Digital GW-5000HS-7

The GW-5000HS-7 is designed for purists who like the look of the original 1983 G-Shock but want modern materials. While it looks like a standard square G-Shock, the internal construction is much heavier. It features a solid metal inner case and a screw-lock case back, both of which are treated with a Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating to prevent scratches.

The outer bezel and band are made from bio-based resin. Functionally, it includes Multi-Band 6 radio-controlled timekeeping for daily accuracy updates and Tough Solar power, meaning you likely won’t ever need to change the battery. It is a quiet, durable upgrade to a familiar design.

Price: $330

The post The Best-Looking Premium Casio Watches to Buy in 2026 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Casio has released a new trio of skeleton blue watches in the Japanese market. The lineup, which includes a G-Shock Frogman, a CasiOak, and a Baby-G, is part of the company’s ongoing partnership with the environmental group ICERC Japan. This specific release coincides with the organization’s 35th anniversary in 2026.

The main hardware update across all three models is the shift in materials. Casio has been steadily integrating biomass plastics into its manufacturing process, and these new watches use renewable organic resources for the major resin components in their bezels and bands. Aesthetically, the watches share a translucent, blue gradient finish meant to resemble seawater, and they all ship in packaging made from recycled materials.

Here is a look at the specific models and their hardware features.

G-Shock GA-B2100KB-2A

Based on the familiar octagonal 2100 series, this is the most connected watch of the group. It features Bluetooth for syncing with the Casio Watches smartphone app, which handles automatic time adjustments, world time settings, and a phone finder tool. It runs on Casio’s Tough Solar charging system, which provides about seven months of battery life on a single charge under standard use. A small whale-shaped indicator hand sits on the 9 o’clock subdial. It is priced at ¥29,150 ($182).

G-Shock Frogman GW-8202K-2

The Frogman is Casio’s purpose-built diving watch, and it is priced accordingly at ¥85,800 ($536). It features a titanium screw-back case and ISO-certified 200-meter water resistance. On the software side, it includes a dedicated dive mode that tracks dive times up to 24 hours and surface intervals, while storing up to 10 dive logs. It also displays moon phase and tide graph data. It lacks Bluetooth, relying instead on standard quartz accuracy and Tough Solar power. Activating the LED backlight reveals a whale silhouette on the LCD.

Baby-G BGD-5650K-2

The smallest and most affordable model is the Baby-G at ¥24,200 ($151). Based on the standard square 5600-series design, it includes Multi Band 6 radio-controlled timekeeping. This feature automatically adjusts the time by receiving standard radio waves from six global transmitters. Like the other models, it is solar-powered. When the backlight is turned on, a swimming dolphin silhouette appears on the screen.

All three ICERC Japan collaboration models are available in Japan starting this June.

In related news, Casio has brought the G-Shock Mudmaster GWGB1000MG19 to the US market.

The post Casio launches three ocean-inspired watches with skeleton blue designs appeared first on Gizmochina.

Casio is teaming up with the pop group XG for a new pair of G-Shock watches. The collaboration briefly appeared on Casio’s US website earlier this week before the listings were removed, but the company has confirmed the watches will officially launch in Japan on June 12th.

Design Details

The collection consists of two models with very different designs. The more expensive option is the GM-S5600XG-1, which will sell for ¥36,300 (about $228). It uses the familiar square case that G-Shock is known for, but the glass covering the digital display has a rainbow vapor deposition finish.

According to Casio, this manufacturing process means the color gradient on every watch will be slightly different. The colors also shift depending on the angle of your wrist. To balance out the iridescent screen, the rest of the watch is made of standard black resin and stainless steel.

The second watch is the GMA-S110XG-4A, priced at ¥25,300 (roughly $158). This one is an analog-digital hybrid with a bulkier case. The pink resin band and bezel are made using a color molding technique that mixes different resins together during production. This creates a marbled pattern that, similar to the rainbow glass on the other model, is unique to each individual watch. It also includes a polarized dial that changes color in the light.

Beyond the cosmetic changes and the XG logos on the dials and case backs, these are standard G-Shock watches. Both come with the usual 200 meters of water resistance, shockproofing, stopwatches, timers, alarms, and LED backlights. The square model runs on a CR1616 battery estimated to last three years, while the analog model uses a CR1220 battery rated for two years.

Casio is also continuing to use bio-based resins for the bands on both watches, which is part of the company’s broader effort to use fewer traditional plastics in its manufacturing. There is no official word on a US release date yet, but the earlier website leak suggests an international rollout should be announced soon.

In related news, Casio has recently unveiled one of its most expensive G-Shock watches featuring blue sapphires and advanced dive tech, alongside a new carbon-and-metal G-Shock model that’s launching in both Japan and the U.S.

Casio is marking the 30th anniversary of its premium MR-G line with a new flagship diver, the G-Shock Frogman MRG-BF1000EB-1A. Scheduled for release in June 2026, it is one of the most expensive G-Shock models the company has produced, carrying a retail price of ¥1,210,000 ($7,590) in Japan. Production is capped at 800 numbered units worldwide.

Design Details

The MRG-BF1000EB-1AJR relies heavily on specialized materials and manufacturing processes rather than standard mass production. The bezel is constructed from Cobarion, a cobalt-chrome alloy that is roughly four times harder than pure titanium. Instead of standard machine milling, the bezel’s facets are cut by hand by Japanese gemstone artisan Kazuhito Komatsu.

The metal is then treated with a blue arc ion plating (AIP) to give it a reflective finish. According to Casio, this aesthetic is meant to mimic a brinicle, an underwater ice formation found in polar regions. Additionally, the two front screws on the asymmetrical case are set with lab-grown, 57-facet brilliant-cut blue sapphires.

Underneath the exterior treatments, the watch maintains the hardware specifications expected from the Frogman line. The core case, case back, crown, and buttons are machined from Ti64 titanium alloy and treated with a titanium carbide (TiC) coating for abrasion resistance.

It features an ISO 200-meter water resistance rating, supported by Casio’s Clad Guard Structure, which integrates fluoro rubber buffers into the crown and pushers to protect the internal module from impacts. The screw-lock case back incorporates a blue vapor-deposited sapphire crystal and an engraving of the standard Frogman character.

On the technology side, the MRG-BF1000EB-1AJR is fully analog but uses three independent dual-coil motors to drive the hands. In dive mode, the hour and minute hands overlap to function as a single indicator for elapsed dive time.

The watch is powered by Casio’s Tough Solar charging system and keeps time via Multi-Band 6 radio control and Bluetooth. When paired with the Casio Watches smartphone app, users can automatically adjust the time, log dive data, and set tide graphs for approximately 3,300 global locations.

The package includes two interchangeable bands: a white Dura Soft fluoro rubber strap for diving use, and a deep-hardened pure titanium bracelet. The lugs feature a quick-release button mechanism for swapping between the two. The entire 800-piece run ships in a custom box co-developed with Japanese luggage manufacturer Proteca.

In related news, Casio recently launched a new carbon-and-metal G-Shock watch in both Japan and the U.S., while also unveiling the CRW001JB-9 ring watch in collaboration with J Balvin.

Casio’s premium G-Shock MTG-B4000B-1A has started appearing in the U.S. through retailer Arizona Fine Time. The watch is the latest model in the MTG-B4000 series, which also consists of the MTG-B4000B-1A2JF and the MTG-B4000-1AJF.

The watch is listed at $1,500 and appears to be shipping immediately. That puts it at the same U.S. retail price as the older MTG-B4000B-1A2. In Japan, the related MTG-B4000B-1AJF launched on May 15, 2026, priced at ¥176,000, or about $1,110.

The MTG-B4000B-1A is part of Casio’s MT-G line, which combines resin and metal construction. This model uses a carbon laminated frame with stainless steel, along with a Dual Core Guard structure. Casio says the design was refined through simulation and human review to balance strength, shape, and wearability.

The case uses carbon fiber reinforced resin and stainless steel, while the bezel has a two-part inner and outer structure. The stainless-steel bezel gets black ion plating with both hairline and mirror finishes. The case back is made from stainless steel using Metal Injection Molding. The watch also has Triple G Resist protection, covering shock, centrifugal force, and vibration resistance.

The black dial carries red accents and microfabrication details from Casio’s Yamagata factory. It is protected by a sapphire crystal and paired with a black soft urethane band. Other hardware details include a screw-lock crown, Neobrite luminous treatment, a high-brightness LED light, and 200-meter water resistance.

For timekeeping, the quartz watch supports Multi Band 6 radio-controlled adjustment and Bluetooth syncing through the Casio Watches app. App features include automatic time correction, phone finder, watch status display, self-check, Time & Place logging, and world time for around 300 cities. Like most G-Shocks, the MTG-B4000B also uses Tough Solar charging, and can last for around five months without seeing the sun, or up to 18 months in power-saving mode.

The post Casio’s new carbon-and-metal G-Shock watch lands in Japan & the U.S. appeared first on Gizmochina.

Casio has just released a new set of G-Shock watches in the US, focusing on smaller sizes and a unique glass treatment. The new lineup includes four hybrid analog-digital watches based on the company’s popular octagonal design, often referred to by fans as the CasiOak. The main draw for these new models is the polarized glass, which shifts in color depending on the angle of your wrist.

Design Details and Pricing

To get this effect, Casio uses a polarized vapor deposition process on the mineral glass. It basically gives the watch face a colorful gradient that changes as it catches the light. It’s an interesting design choice, though Casio is upfront about a practical drawback: the reflections and color shifts can make the dial hard to read in certain lighting conditions. It is a detail worth keeping in mind if you prefer straightforward utility over aesthetics.

The release is split into two different styles, both designed to fit smaller wrists. The first pair, the GMA-P2100SR-7A and GMA-P2100SR-1A, are priced at $135. These models use translucent resin for both the case and the band, giving them a clear, casual look. Because they are made entirely of resin, they are quite light, weighing in at just 40 grams.

The second pair, the GM-S2110SR-1A and GM-S2110SR-7A, are a bit more expensive at $210. These swap the resin bezel for stainless steel, which adds a bit of weight (56 grams) and gives the watch a more traditional metallic appearance. Casio also used bio-based resin for the bands on these metal models, a material the company has been incorporating lately to try and lower its environmental footprint.

Aside from the new glass and the smaller footprint, these function like standard G-Shock watches. They come with the usual features you would expect: shock resistance, 200 meters of water resistance, world time for 31 time zones, a stopwatch, a countdown timer, and daily alarms. They also have a built-in LED backlight to help you see the time in the dark. All four watches run on a standard CR1025 battery, which Casio says should last for about three years before needing a replacement.

All four models are available to purchase now. If you have a smaller wrist or just prefer a more compact watch, these are a practical option, provided you are okay with the color-shifting glass occasionally getting in the way of reading the time.

In related news, Casio has recently launched affordable retro-style AQ-240 watches in the US, alongside a new stainless steel automatic watch available in three dial options.

The post Casio launches new eye-catching G-Shock watches with polarized gradient glass in the US appeared first on Gizmochina.

Casio has officially released the GMW-BZ5000RC-1 in the United States. It is the newest addition to the company’s 5000 series of full-metal watches. The model originally launched in Japan in April 2026, followed by a gradual rollout in the UK and select European markets. It is now listed on Casio’s US website and available to purchase for $880.

Design Details

The main draw of this specific model is the design of the case. Casio has tweaked the construction of the 5000 series here, connecting the bezel and the center case at the top and bottom to leave the middle section exposed. That exposed center case is treated with a gradient rainbow ion-plated finish. Because of how the plating process works, the color distribution is slightly different on every unit. It also features gold-colored screws and a glass face treated with a matching rainbow vapor deposition.

Underneath the metal, it still relies on a resin bumper system to absorb impacts. Interestingly, Casio says that it used AI to help design the watch’s structure, feeding decades of drop-test data into a model to optimize the 3D shapes of the interlocking metal components.

Beyond the metal casing, the most practical upgrade is the display. Instead of the traditional LCD found on standard G-Shocks, the GMW-BZ5000RC-1 uses a Memory in Pixel (MIP) screen. MIP displays are noticeably easier to read in direct sunlight and offer much higher contrast. Because it’s a higher-resolution panel, Casio included a feature in its companion mobile app that lets you switch the display font. You can use a standard modern digital font, or swap it to a Classic mode that digitally recreates the blocky, 7-segment look.

The rest of the spec sheet is standard for Casio’s higher-end digital watches. It includes Bluetooth for automatic time syncing with your phone, Multiband 6 radio control as a fallback for time calibration, and solar charging. With the power-saving mode turned on, the watch can theoretically last up to 22 months in complete darkness. It also maintains the standard 200 meters of water resistance.

In related news, Casio recently unveiled five Electro Green G-Shock watches with neon accents in the US, alongside two affordable AE1600HX digital watches for the US market.

The post Casio launches $880 rainbow metal G-Shock watch in the US appeared first on Gizmochina.

Casio has released two new Star Wars-themed watches ahead of the upcoming The Mandalorian and Grogu movie. The new models, which fall under the G-Shock and Baby-G product lines, are available starting May 1 in the US, UK, and the European Union.

Design Details

The release includes the $220 GM2100-1ASW and the $130 BA110YK-3ASW. Rather than just stamping a Star Wars logo on standard models, Casio customized the materials and colors to match the film’s two main characters. Both watches feature analog-digital hybrid displays, combining traditional watch hands with small LCD screens for additional data.

The GM2100-1ASW is the larger of the two, designed to reference the Mandalorian’s armor. It features a forged stainless steel bezel with an industrial, brushed finish that mimics the look of Beskar steel from the franchise. It measures 49.3 by 44.4 by 11.8 mm and weighs 72 grams.

As a standard G-Shock, it includes the company’s core guard structure for drop protection and offers 200 meters of water resistance. It also includes a hand shift feature, which temporarily moves the analog hands out of the way so you can read the digital display. It runs on two SR726W batteries, which Casio estimates will last about three years.

The second watch is the Baby-G BA110YK-3ASW, which serves as the Grogu tie-in. It costs $130 and comes in a green resin finish. It has a smaller footprint and weighs 45 grams, making it a better fit for smaller wrists.

The water resistance is lower on this model, rated at 100 meters, and the batteries are expected to last around two years. However, it still includes the standard shock resistance found across the lineup.

Both watches share a similar set of everyday features. They include world time tracking (31 time zones on the GM2100, 29 on the BA110), a 1/100-second stopwatch, countdown timers, and five daily alarms. The GM2100 uses a double white LED for illumination, while the BA110 uses an amber LED.

Casio is also including a custom watch stand with both models. The stand is designed to look like a Bounty Hunter ID card. It ships flat, but it has built-in magnets that allow you to fold it into a rigid 3D stand to hold the watch on a desk or shelf when you aren’t wearing it.

The watches are available now at select retailers, the G-Shock SoHo store, and Casio’s website.

The post Casio releases two new Star Wars G-Shock watches appeared first on Gizmochina.

Casio has officially listed the newest addition to its Master of G lineup, the G-Shock Mudmaster GWG-B1000MG-1A9. After floating around the rumor mill for a bit, the watch is now up for pre-order on Casio’s Japanese website for ¥143,000 (roughly $910) and is scheduled to start shipping in later this month.

Design Details

The design of this specific model is heavily inspired by earth science and geology. Casio went with red and orange accents on the dial to mimic the look of magma, while the metal components feature a gold-tone finish. The resin band is also molded to look like different layers of rock strata.

Casio is continuing to use biomass plastics for the main resin parts of the case, bezel, and band. It’s a practical step toward using renewable materials, and it doesn’t seem to compromise the standard shock, dust, mud, and 20-bar water resistance that the Mudmaster series is known for.

Under the hood, the GWG-B1000MG-1A9 isn’t a full smartwatch, but it does have a good amount of connectivity. It features Casio’s Triple Sensor, meaning you get a built-in compass, an altimeter/barometer, and a thermometer. It’s also solar-powered.

Casio says a full charge will get you about six months of normal use without any light exposure, or up to two years if it drops into power-saving mode. For timekeeping, it relies on Multi-Band 6 radio control, which automatically syncs the time if you are in range of towers in Japan, North America, Europe, or China.

You can also pair the watch to your phone via Bluetooth using the Casio Watches app. This handles basic tasks like automatic time correction and adjusting settings, but it also includes a location indicator.

If you set a destination in the app, the physical hands on the watch will point toward it, a helpful feature if you’re hiking and don’t want to keep pulling out your phone. Casio does note that this specific location feature isn’t available in China, however.

Rounding out the spec sheet, the watch has a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and a double LED light system so you can read the analog-digital display in the dark.

In related news, Casio has recently unveiled a new Coca-Cola G-Shock watch featuring an iconic bottle-inspired design, while the Casio Vintage A159WE-1 has been listed in Europe with its classic styling and a 7-year battery life.

The post Casio G-Shock 2026 Summer Collection Brings Color-Changing Glass and Compact Design appeared first on Gizmochina.

Casio has launched the G-Shock DW5600MNC series in the United States. The new watches were first revealed in February this year and later released in Japan. Each model from the series is priced at $165 and is now available to order in the US.

Casio G-Shock DW5600MNC Specifications

Casio offers the DW5600MNC series in three color schemes. The DW-5600MNC-1 comes in an all-black style with a monochromatic finish. The DW-5600MNC-7A8 is light gray with neon yellow accents for a fresh and bright appearance. The DW-5600MNC-8A2 features sporty colors, including a gray base with navy, orange, and yellow accents.

The series introduces a cloth band for improved comfort. Casio used polyester material for the band, which stretches up to 2.7 times its size to ensure a superior fit. The watches also include the Fidlock magnetic buckle system. This system uses magnets combined with a mechanical locking mechanism to make putting the watch on or removing it easy and quick. Casio designed the buckle for one-handed operation, which adds convenience to daily use.

The company has incorporated bio-based resin into key parts of the bezel. This material reduces the environmental impact compared to traditional resin while maintaining the durability G-Shock watches are known for. The DW5600MNC models remain shock-resistant and water-resistant up to 200 meters.

The watches retain G-Shock’s well-known rugged features. The DW5600MNC includes a 1/100-second stopwatch, a countdown timer with a range of up to 24 hours, multi-function alarms, a Super Illuminator LED backlight, and a full auto calendar accurate up to the year 2099. Casio also ensured a long battery life of approximately five years with a CR2016 battery.

Each DW5600MNC model has a compact case size of 48.9 x 42.8 x 13.4 mm and a weight of 53 grams. The watches are compatible with wrist sizes between 145 to 215 mm.

In related news, Casio has recently introduced the AE-1600HX series watches, featuring a large display, 100m water resistance, and an impressive 10-year battery life.

The post Casio launches new G-Shock watches in the US with stretchable cloth straps & magnetic buckles appeared first on Gizmochina.

Casio has introduced the Casio G-Shock GMW-BZ5000RC-1 in Japan, adding a new design direction to its 5000 series. The model had surfaced in leaks earlier this year and is now listed on the company’s official store with a price of ¥121,000. A wider global release is expected, though timelines and regional pricing have not been confirmed.

The watch features a full-metal construction with a stainless steel case, bezel, and band. Its standout element is the center case, which uses a gradient rainbow ion-plated finish. This effect extends across the dial and is complemented by rainbow vapor deposition on the glass. Gold-colored ion-plated screws add contrast, while a mix of hairline and mirror finishes across components highlights the metal texture.

The structure combines the bezel and center case at the top and bottom, leaving the center case partially exposed. This design is supported by a resin internal protector that deforms under impact to absorb shocks. A screw-lock case back ensures a tight seal, maintaining G-Shock durability standards. The watch is also water-resistant up to 200 meters.

Casio says artificial intelligence was used alongside decades of shock-resistance data to refine the design and optimize component structure. The manufacturing process involves repeated forging, cutting, and polishing to achieve the final form. Production takes place at Yamagata Casio in Japan, the same facility that produced the original G-Shock.

The watch uses a high-definition MIP LCD with a negative display for improved clarity. Users can switch between multiple time display layouts and choose between STANDARD and CLASSIC font styles through a companion app. Bluetooth connectivity enables automatic time adjustment, while Multiband 6 radio control ensures accuracy.

Additional features include dual world time, a 1/100-second stopwatch, a countdown timer, and five daily alarms. The Tough Solar system supports continuous operation through light-based charging.

The post Casio G-Shock 5000 Series Gets Rainbow Metal Design with Solar and Bluetooth appeared first on Gizmochina.

Casio is having a genuine style moment. After years as a “dad-watch” staple, its chunky digital and analog-digital designs have been co-opted by streetwear and style influencers. Think back to 2000s hip-hop, and you’ll recall Pharrell, Eminem, Kanye, and Justin Bieber proudly rocking G-Shocks. Streetwear brands like Stüssy, BAPE, and A$AP Ferg have all released G-Shock collabs. Meanwhile, a Y2K design revival means translucent techy looks are hot again. Young buyers are reportedly choosing timeless analogs over smartwatches. In short: the blocky Casio aesthetic that once screamed “geek” now reads as retro-future-cool. Below are five recent Casio models that capture this trend, each stylish in its own way, and priced in the sub-$160 range.

G-Shock GA-V01SKE Transparent “Alien Eyes”

What it is: A new “Transparent Pack” version of the GA-V01 octagonal G-Shock. It comes in four see-through colors (neon green, orange, purple, gray) and keeps the model’s distinctive layered face.

Why it’s cool: This is the one that lit up social media. Its skeletonized case and dial combine Casio’s usual toughness with an “alien-inspired” futuristic look. Fans even call its oversized, inverted LCD “alien eyes”. Casio says the see-through styling is directly lifted from Y2K-era gadgets, and reviewers note it feels “futuristic” yet nostalgic.

Who it’s for: Anyone who wants a standout, techy watch that references early-2000s cyber aesthetics.

Price: About $154.

G-Shock DW-5600MNC (with Fidlock Strap)

What it is: A fresh take on Casio’s classic square DW-5600. Instead of a resin strap it has an elastic nylon band with a Fidlock magnetic buckle (an easy one-handed snap system). Available in black, gray/yellow, or blue/orange colorways.

Why it’s cool: It makes a 40-year-old digital watch feel new. The stretch band can extend significantly, so it even goes over a jacket sleeve. The magnetic clasp is dramatically easier to use than the old buckle. The result is more comfort, faster wear, and a subtle outdoor, utility-driven look.

Who it’s for: Practical types and mod enthusiasts who love the 5600 but want modern convenience.

Price: Around $127.

G-Shock GM-2100 “CasiOak” (Fine Metallic Series)

What it is: A metal-clad version of the slim GA-2100 “CasiOak” (so nicknamed for its AP Royal Oak–like octagon). The GM-2100YRA-8A comes with a polished stainless-steel bezel and silver-toned vapor-deposited band, plus a bright red-on-black LCD display.

Why it’s cool: It gives diehard G-Shock fans a hint of luxury. The satin-brushed steel bezel and matching strap make it look high-end while still being quartz and tough. The new Fine Metallic models feature polished stainless-steel bezels with striking red-tinted displays.

Who it’s for: Anyone who appreciates high-end watch design but prefers something rugged and wearable daily.

Price: Around $290.

G-Shock GMA-P2126W-8A (Monochrome Gold Accent)

What it is: A compact analog-digital G-Shock released for International Women’s Day 2026. It features a gray case, a metallic dial, and subtle gold accents. It’s built on the slim GMA-P2110 platform, using a bio-based resin case and strap for an eco-friendly angle.

Why it’s cool: It’s understated in a way most G-Shocks aren’t. The gray and gold palette feels intentional and clean, making it easy to dress up or down. It doesn’t scream for attention, but it still looks considered.

Who it’s for: Someone who wants a G-Shock that works with a blazer as easily as it does with a hoodie.

Price: $145.

Casio F-91W (The 1989 Icon)

What it is: The original Casio digital watch, launched in 1989 and still in production. A tiny 37.5×34.5×8.5 mm resin watch with stopwatch, alarm, and backlight, in its classic black (a new translucent gold-clear variant arrived in 2026).

Why it’s cool: It’s the ultimate anti-luxury flex. It costs less than lunch but has outlived entire categories of tech. In a world full of notifications and screens, the F-91W feels calm and intentional.

Who it’s for: Minimalists, tech skeptics, and anyone who wants to signal taste without trying too hard.

Price: About $15.

The post 5 Casio Watches That Are Suddenly Cool Again appeared first on Gizmochina.

Casio has updated its G-Shock GA-V01 series with four new transparent models. The watches feature translucent resin cases and introduce a new orange color option. Pre-orders for the refreshed lineup are now available in Japan for ¥24,200 ($154). The models are now up for sale through Casio stores and authorized retailers.

The new models retain the futuristic, industrial design of the GA-V01 series while replacing solid cases with see-through shells. Casio has introduced four color variants: orange (GA-V01SKE-4A), green (GA-V01SKE-3A), purple (GA-V01SKE-6A), and gray (GA-V01SKE-8A). The translucent designs take inspiration from the popular Y2K aesthetic, recalling the look of early-2000s tech products and accessories.

Casio has maintained the durability and functionality that G-Shock is known for. The GA-V01 models include a shock-resistant construction and 200-meter water resistance. The watches feature a bezel-and-band structure designed to protect the module inside. Large dimensional indexes overlap the glass and act as bumpers to absorb impacts.

Casio has also introduced a Shock Release Hand mechanism in these models. The mechanism uses magnetic force to attach the minute hand to the shaft, rather than a fixed connection. This design improves shock absorption and allows for larger hands while maintaining durability.

The watches feature a combination of analog and digital displays. The full-screen LCD sits beneath a metallic dial with decorative openwork sections. The timepieces include essential functions like world time for 31 time zones, a 1/100-second stopwatch, a countdown timer, and five daily alarms. Casio has added a double LED Super Illuminator that improves visibility in low light.

Each model uses a CR2025 battery, which delivers approximately 10 years of battery life. The watches weigh 74 grams and measure 49.1 x 58.2 x 19.6 mm.

In related news, Casio has recently introduced the G-Shock GM-H5600 series with heart rate tracking and solar charging, and the G-Shock GMA-P2126W-8A with a sleek monochrome design and gold accents.

The watches come with Bluetooth connectivity, allowing them to link to the Casio Watches app for enhanced functionality. Through the app, users can access training data, sleep analysis, and set the time for over 300 cities worldwide. Both models also boast shock resistance, 200-meter water resistance, and a built-in LED Super Illuminator for easy visibility in low-light conditions.

The GM-110YRA-8JF, GM-2100YRA-8JF, GM-5600YRA-8JF, and GM-6900YRA-8JF were initially announced earlier this week, and now they are making their way to the European market.

Casio is Bringing its G-Shock with Metallic Finish & Red Dials to Europe

The newest addition to Casio’s G-Shock family consists of four models, bringing rugged utility and standout wrist style to fans worldwide. These timepieces combine the iconic toughness G-Shock is known for with a design-forward twist that’s sure to attract both collectors and everyday wearers alike. The four models include:

The post Casio’s New Metal G-Shocks with Bold Red Dials Are Getting a Global Release appeared first on Gizmochina.

Casio is taking its smoky, club-inspired take on the classic G‑Shock to more wrists across Europe. After a quiet debut in the UK and the US, the new GA-2100 Smoke Dial models are now landing in several EU markets, including the Netherlands, Spain, and Germany.

The new lineup includes three watches — GA-2100K-1A, GA-2100K-2A, and GA-2100K-5A. And as you might expect, all watches bear the familiar GA-2100 design, i.e., a slim, octagonal case with both analog hands and a small digital display. 

The distinguishing theme, however, is their nightlife aesthetic. Casio says the design takes cues from electronic music scenes, with translucent cases and glossy dials that look like they belong under club lights rather than office fluorescents.

Casio brings its nightlife-inspired G-Shock GA-2100 watches to EU countries

Each model uses a transparent resin and carbon case paired with a matching strap. At just over 48mm tall and weighing about 51 grams, the watches keep the lightweight feel the GA-2100 series is known for. They also retain the tough reputation of the line, thanks to Casio’s Carbon Core Guard structure and 200-meter water resistance.

The differences mostly come down to color. The GA-2100K-1A arrives in smoky gray with subtle green highlights on the dial. The GA-2100K-2A uses a frosty blue case with bright orange accents, while the GA-2100K-5A goes for a warmer amber-brown tone paired with red details.

Despite the flashy styling, the feature set remains classic G-Shock. You get world time across 31 time zones, a stopwatch, a countdown timer, five alarms, and an automatic calendar that runs through 2099. There’s also a dual-LED backlight system for both the analog face and the digital display.

In most EU markets, the three models are priced at €129 each, with standard shipping and no obvious supply limits at launch.

The post Casio’s G-Shock Smoke Dial watches expand across Europe with club-inspired looks appeared first on Gizmochina.

Casio has launched a new G-Shock DW6900 model in partnership with streetwear label Anti Social Social Club (ASSC). The new watch, officially named DW6900ASSC25-7, is now available in the U.S. and priced at $170.

G-Shock DW6900ASSC25-7 Specifications

This release marks the second collaboration between G-Shock and ASSC. The companies designed the model to retain G-Shock’s bold, durable build while introducing stylistic elements inspired by ASSC’s fashion-forward identity.

The case and strap use a translucent, frosted resin material that gives the watch a light, airy appearance. The clear construction allows internal mechanisms to show through slightly, giving the watch a layered look without compromising durability.

The watch features G-Shock’s familiar round bezel and robust structure. It includes large side buttons and a shock-resistant shell that maintains G-Shock’s reputation for toughness. The dial displays a black base decorated with pink floral patterns, which contrast sharply with the transparent casing. The top of the dial includes “Anti Social Social Club” branding in bold white letters with pink outlining.

The digital display retains all standard DW6900 functions, including timekeeping, date, stopwatch, alarms, and a countdown timer. Above the main digital screen, three circular sub-dials add symmetry and visual depth.

Below the display, G-Shock replaced its standard “G” button with a soft pink version to match the floral accents. Pressing the button triggers an electro-luminescent backlight that reveals a hidden “Get Weird” logo, a subtle nod to ASSC’s signature slogan.

The resin band continues the theme with cherry blossom and butterfly graphics printed along its length. Though the design introduces delicate and playful elements, the strap still includes a dependable metal buckle and keeps the watch securely fastened.

The model includes 200-meter water resistance, a two-year battery life using a CR2016 battery, and a full auto-calendar that runs until 2099. The watch also supports both 12-hour and 24-hour time formats.

The post Casio launches G-Shock collab watch with ASSC featuring transparent floral design appeared first on Gizmochina.

Casio has officially released the GMWBZ5000D-1, GMWBZ5000BD-1, and GMWBZ5000GD-9 G-Shock watches in the US market. These models first debuted in Japan in November 2025 and now expand availability to global buyers. The new lineup continues the brand’s 5000-series legacy with a full-metal construction and updated internals.

Design Details

Each watch in the series features a square stainless steel case, measuring 49.3 x 43.6 x 13 mm, and a solid metal bracelet with a three-fold clasp.

All three watches maintain the signature G-Shock design but introduce a redesigned internal structure developed through AI-assisted design processes.

Casio created a new shock-resistant structure after studying decades of G-Shock performance data. Using AI, the company designed a case extension that connects with the lugs to minimize shock transmission. Inside, a resin protector absorbs impacts while preserving the strength of the full-metal exterior.

The watches use a high-contrast, full-dot Memory in Pixel (MIP) LCD for improved readability and energy efficiency. Casio enables eight display modes across two font styles, with options for dual time, day-date, and triple time layouts. The LCD offers wide viewing angles and remains visible even in direct sunlight.

Connectivity features include Bluetooth support through the Casio Watches app and Multi Band 6 radio signal calibration. Casio includes its Tough Solar charging system, which powers the watch from ambient light. The battery can run for up to 22 months in power-saving mode after a full charge.

Other functions include 38 world time zones, a 1/100-second stopwatch, a countdown timer, five daily alarms, an LED backlight, and a full auto-calendar valid through 2099. The watches are water-resistant to 200 meters and feature a screw-lock case back for added durability.

Pricing and Availability

Casio has priced the GMWBZ5000D-1 at $660, while the black and gold models retail for $720. All three models are now available through Casio’s official US channels, select online stores, and authorized jeweler-exclusive outlets.

Casio has released the G-Shock GX-56UBB-1 across Europe following its Japanese launch. The watch is now available through official online stores in the Netherlands, Spain, France, and Germany for €159, matching the original price of the 2016 GX-56BB-1.

The GX-56UBB-1 maintains the exterior design of the classic GX-56BB-1, retaining the large all-black case and rugged construction. Changes focus entirely on internal components. Casio upgraded the module from 3221 to 3545 and replaced the electroluminescent backlight with an LED system that offers improved power efficiency and low-light visibility.

The watch measures 55.5 × 53.6 × 17.5 mm and weighs 88 g. The case, bezel, and band are made of resin. It features shock-resistant construction and is water-resistant up to 20 bar. The display is protected by mineral glass. The resin band fits wrist sizes from 150 to 220 mm.

The GX-56UBB-1 runs on Casio’s Tough Solar system. It includes a battery-level indicator and a power-saving mode that turns off the display when the watch is left in the dark. Battery life is rated at up to 13 months under normal use without light exposure after charging, or up to 27 months when stored in complete darkness with power saving enabled.

Features include world time for 31 time zones, covering 48 cities, plus Coordinated Universal Time, with daylight saving time control. The stopwatch offers 1/100 second precision with a maximum measurement of 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 59.99 seconds. The countdown timer supports up to 24 hours. The watch also includes five daily alarms, an hourly signal, and a fully automatic calendar that runs through 2099.

Timekeeping accuracy is rated at ±15 seconds per month. Casio has not confirmed if or when this model will launch in the US or other regions outside Europe.

Casio has introduced three new G-Shock watches in the US under the GA-2100K series. The lineup includes the GA-2100K-1A, GA-2100K-2A, and GA-2100K-5A. All three models are now available for order through Casio’s official US website at a price of $135 each.

G-Shock GA-2100K Specifications

Each watch features a transparent carbon and resin case paired with a matching resin strap. The case measures 48.5 × 45.4 × 11.8 mm and weighs 51 grams. Casio uses its Carbon Core Guard structure for added durability while maintaining a lightweight build. All models offer 200-meter water resistance, mineral glass protection, and a battery life of approximately three years using two SR726W cells.

Casio has designed the GA-2100K series with a theme inspired by nightlife, electronic music, and club visuals. The watches use a newly developed glossy dial surface that contrasts with the matte translucent bezel and band. Each model features unique color accents on the dial that set them apart visually.

The GA-2100K-1A has a smoky gray transparent case and strap. The black dial includes soft green accents on the hour markers and hands. The GA-2100K-2A features an icy blue transparent build with bright orange accents on the black dial. The GA-2100K-5A uses a warm amber-brown translucent case and strap, paired with red dial accents.

All three models include a dual-LED lighting system. The face and digital display each have separate Super Illuminator LEDs with selectable durations of 1.5 or 3 seconds.

The watches support world time for 31 time zones, a 1/100-second stopwatch, a 24-hour countdown timer, five daily alarms, and an hourly time signal. The digital display offers 12/24-hour format, full auto-calendar support through 2099, and a hand shift feature for better display visibility.

In related news, Casio has recently introduced the Pro Trek PRW-B1000WM-1, a White Mountaineering collaboration featuring a titanium build, while the company has also released the Edifice EFB730D series in the US with refreshed color options.
