Casio has introduced two fresh G-Shock timepieces in Japan, known as the GA-010-1A1JF and GD-010-1A1JF. Speculations about these models started last year, and they come out alongside the GA-010CE-2AJF and GD-010CE-5JF versions. They share similarities with existing global models like the GA-010-1A, but the latest additions boast an inverse display that features a dark background with light figures.
Similarities and Differences
The GA-010 and GD-010 watches closely resemble the new GA-010CE and GD-010CE models. The primary distinction lies in the CE versions having a Cordura band crafted from recycled, durable materials. In contrast, the GA-010-1A1JF and GD-010-1A1JF use a standard resin strap, making them about 8 g (~0.3 oz) lighter, weighing 65 g (~2.3 oz) and 67 g (~2.4 oz), respectively.
Features Overview
The GD-010 carries the same features as the GD-010CE, including the capability to show the time in up to four different global cities, a 1/100-second stopwatch, a timer, and alarms. On the other hand, the GA-010, similar to the GA-101CE, comes with glowing Neobrite elements and can display the time in one selected time zone, covering 48 cities. Each watch has a stopwatch, timer, and alarms, with minor differences in their features. All models sport a dark display with bright figures, a white LED backlight, and a fully automatic calendar. They are also anticipated to last about ten years using a CR2025 battery.
Pre-order Information
You can now pre-order the G-Shock GA-010-1A1JF and GD-010-1A1JF for ¥18,150 (~$115) and ¥14,850 (~$94), respectively. These watches are expected to be available later this month in Japan, although it’s uncertain if or when they will be sold in other areas such as North America. At present, the GA010-5A, featuring a light background with dark figures, is available for $105 on Amazon.
