A recent leak from the well-known Japanese G-Shock fan site, Great G-Shock World, has disclosed information about two new Casio models: the GM-2100YM-8A and GM-5600YM-8. These timepieces, showcasing metallic-inspired designs, are expected to be released this January, coinciding with the recently leaked GA-010 and GD-010 series watches.
Design and Features of the GM-2100YM-8A
The GM-2100YM-8A enhances the popular octagonal bezel of the 2100 series, recognized for its sleek and simple style. According to the leaked pictures, it seems to come with a shiny silver metal case and a light resin strap, ensuring both strength and comfort. If it follows the typical features of the series, it might also have Tough Solar charging, 200m water resistance, and world time functionality. The leak mentions a price of ¥40,150 (~$255) for this particular model.
Overview of the GM-5600YM-8
On the other hand, the GM-5600YM-8 adheres to the traditional square shape of the 5600 series, offering a similar metallic silver look. This model is likely priced a bit lower at ¥37,400 (~$237), appealing to lovers of the classic design. It could come with features like a full-auto calendar, LED backlight, and various alarms.
Casio's Metal-Like Design Trend
Both models reflect Casio's recent trend of integrating metal-like aesthetics into their resin watches, as shown in earlier releases like the GM-B2100D-1A, which featured a complete metal design for the 2100 series, and the GM-5600SN-1, which had a shiny metal bezel paired with a resin strap.
While all this information is based on leaks, we still await official confirmation from Casio. More news is anticipated as we get closer to the rumored release date.
