Key Takeaways
1. Casio has launched its limited-edition G-Shock “Fire Package” collection for 2025, continuing a tradition since 2014.
2. The collection features two models: the AWG-M100FP-1A2JR (analog-digital) and GW-2320FP-1A2JR (fully digital), aimed at young individuals facing new challenges.
3. Pre-orders are available in Japan, with prices starting at 24,200 yen (~$162) and going up to 31,900 yen (~$213); international availability is uncertain.
4. Both watches include Tough Solar charging, Multi-band 6 time adjustment, 20 bar water resistance, and various standard features like alarms and world time.
5. The Fire Package series originally debuted in 2004, was revived in 2015, and has since become an annual release.
It’s that time of year again when Casio brings out its limited-edition G-Shock “Fire Package” watches. This tradition has been alive since 2014, with the Japanese watchmaker launching special themed AWG-M100 and 2300 series watches every first quarter of the year. Following this custom, Casio has now officially introduced the 2025 G-Shock Fire Package collection.
Latest Releases
This year’s set includes the analog-digital AWG-M100FP-1A2JR and the fully digital GW-2320FP-1A2JR models. The theme focuses on young people, freshmen, and “individuals who are embarking on new challenges in fresh areas,” which Casio claims is reflected in the black base color alongside cool blue highlights. The watches come packed in a unique box, seemingly created from eco-friendly materials. It’s unfortunate that Casio stopped using the classic trunk-style box last year.
Pre-Order Details
The G-Shock Fire Package 2025 edition can now be pre-ordered in Japan. The pricing starts at 24,200 yen (~$162) for the analog-digital GW-2320FP model and rises to 31,900 yen (~$213) for the fully digital AWG-M100FP watch. What about a worldwide launch? Typically, Fire Package watches are exclusive to Japan. Some previous models have made it to the US and UK, but the editions from 2023 and 2024 did not, so we shouldn’t expect much.
Features and Specifications
Both watches come with Tough Solar charging, Multi-band 6 radio-controlled time adjustment, 20 bar water resistance, an LED backlight, and are shock-resistant. They also have standard features like world time for 48 cities, 5 daily alarms, a fully automatic calendar, a stopwatch, and a countdown timer.
A Look Back
The Fire Package series has a fascinating background. It was first launched in 2004 with three hybrid analog-digital watches. However, there wasn’t another release for over ten years. Casio brought the series back in 2015 but with a new approach, offering only two models: the AWG-M100, an analog-digital hybrid, and the GW-M500, a fully digital watch. Since then, it has become an annual event.
