Casio has introduced its Urban Utility G-Shock series in the United States, offering a range of stylish yet robust watches designed for city living (hence the name ‘urban utility’) and eco-friendly practices. At this moment, you can find two models — GA-B2100LUU-5A and GA-B2100LUU-8A — on the Casio US website.
Eco-Friendly Features
The GA-B2100LUU models are made with bio-based resin and feature solar-powered timekeeping along with Bluetooth connectivity. These timepieces aim to deliver durability and flexibility while promoting environmentally friendly production methods. They come equipped with key features such as shock resistance, water resistance up to 200 meters, and a bright Super Illuminator LED light.
Stylish Designs
Both models present understated, neutral colors which fit well with urban streetwear. The GA-B2100LUU-5A is available in an olive green shade, whereas the GA-B2100LUU-8A showcases a blue-gray tone. The layered bezel design and strong carbon core guard enhance both the aesthetic and strength of these watches. Moreover, the series supports smartphone integration through the Casio Watches app, providing functionalities like automatic time adjustments, reminders, and locating your phone.
Advanced Technology
The Super Illuminator high-brightness LED ensures that visibility is maintained in dim light conditions, and the solar-powered Tough Solar technology guarantees long battery life. The watches come with essential G-Shock features, including world time for 38 cities, countdown timers, daily alarms, and stopwatch capabilities.
Originally launched in Japan, the US release starts with the GA-B2100LUU-5A and GA-B2100LUU-8A, which are anticipated to be priced around $170 each. Additional models from the Urban Utility series, namely the DW-5610UU-3 and DW-5610UU-8, are also likely to be available on the website shortly.
