Casio’s new G-Shock GW-BX5600 has been confirmed to be made in Thailand, according to local certification and manufacturing info – thanks to Great G-Shock World. Casio has been making most of their entry-level and mid-range G-Shocks outside of Japan, mainly in Thailand and China. They keep their Japanese factories for the more premium and limited-edition models. The GW-BX5600 is also registered globally, so a worldwide announcement should be coming soon.
Design and Features
As mentioned before, this watch is set to keep the classic square shape that fans love from the GW-M5610U series, but will come with better internals, such as a memory-in-pixel (MIP) LCD screen, Bluetooth capability, and Tough Solar charging. Its display can track multiple time zones, including triple world time, and offers customizable layouts for showing time, date, and weekday. Pricing is expected to be around ¥30,000 (about $220–230), which is a bit higher than the previous model, GW-M5610U-1JF, but still reasonable when compared to top-tier G-Shock watches.
Potential Features of the GW-BX5600
The “X” in the model name might indicate the use of carbon fiber parts or suggest a new “X” sub-line in the GW-B series, but this hasn’t been officially confirmed yet. Details on the launch and specific pricing are still awaited from Casio, with the watch likely set to hit the market in 2026.
