Upcoming Availability

According to a report from the Casio-focused site G-Central, all three models will be available soon in the US via the brand’s online shop. Each of these ‘U’ models comes with upgraded modules and uses LED backlights instead of electroluminescent (EL) ones, allowing for better energy efficiency.

Model Details

The Casio G-Shock GW2310U-1 is an enhancement of the earlier GW2310-1, which came out in 2009. This round digital timepiece has a robust black resin case and includes features like radio control, a stopwatch, and five daily alarms. It also boasts 200 meters of water resistance and utilizes Tough Solar charging. You can already purchase the Casio G-Shock GW2310U-1 at the US retailer Arizona Fine Time for $155.

On the other hand, the Casio G-Shock GW6900U-1 is derived from the 2009 GW6900-1. It features a sturdy black resin bezel similar to the GW2310U-1, but it is a Triple Graph model with green-tinted inset dials. Once again, it is radio-controlled, equipped with a precise stopwatch and multiple alarms. This solar-powered watch also has a water resistance of 200 meters. The GW6900U-1 is expected to be priced at $155 in the US, and the French retailer David et Philly has listed it for €99.90.

Design and Pricing

The Casio G-Shock GX56UBB-1 maintains the same design as the previous GX56BB-1, which was released in 2016. This rectangular digital watch sports an all-black look, including a black display background. It features world time functionality, plus a stopwatch, alarms, and Tough Solar charging technology. In the US, the anticipated retail price for the Casio G-Shock GX56UBB-1 watch is $165. It is already available in European markets like Germany, where it retails for €159.

As of now, the exact date when these upgraded Casio G-Shock watches will be available on the brand’s official online store remains uncertain.
