The Casio G-Shock G-B001SF-7JR watch has officially been discontinued in Japan. This model was introduced in July 2023 and is based on the classic DW-001 design, which features the Capsule Tough look first seen in 1994.
Availability and Pricing
Currently, the watch is listed as Discontinued on the Casio Japan online store, where it was priced at ¥ 18,700 (approximately $123). Nevertheless, the other two models in the same series, the DW-B5600SF-7JF and the GA-B001SF-7AJF, continue to be sold in Japan. Additionally, other DW-001 series watches like the G-B001RG-3JR and G-B001RG-4JR are still available for purchase.
Features and Functionality
The modern DW-001 watches come equipped with Bluetooth, allowing a connection to the Casio Watches app on smartphones. This feature enables automatic time syncing and includes a phone-finder option. They can show the time for 38 cities in either a 12 or 24-hour format. Moreover, these watches offer a 1/100th second stopwatch, five alarms, and a countdown timer. A white LED Super Illuminator backlight is also included, making it easy to read the time even in low light conditions.
