Real-world pictures of the newly launched Casio GST-B1000 (thanks to @geesgshock on Instagram) reveal a sleeker, entirely metal G-Steel that features an all-analog dial. This aligns with previous reports indicating dimensions of 46.9 × 44.2 × 11.6 mm, a weight of 118 g, Tough Solar technology, Bluetooth connectivity, and a tri-color release in black, blue, and green at a price of around ¥66,000 in Japan. The watch is set to hit stores in November, with early EU pre-orders priced around €399. We have tracked the timeline from leaks to listings for months prior to its release. The B1000 is an upgraded four-digit flagship that reduces bulk from the G-Steel series while maintaining a 20-bar water resistance and other essential features.
Design Features
The real-life images highlight the watch’s design effectively. The bezel, which leans towards an octagonal shape, features alternating straight and circular hairline brushing, complemented by reflective edges, and is devoid of any logos. The minimalist metal look complements the overall design of the watch nicely. The sides of the case appear to be precisely crafted around the low-profile pushers and crown guards, visually confirming the 11.6 mm thickness that distinguishes this model from older, bulkier G-Steel versions. The stainless steel bracelet seems to be newly designed as well; it is slimmer, featuring solid links and sharp transitions between brushed surfaces and polished areas.
Dial Details
Under bright lights, the dial elements become quite noticeable – it has applied indices with polished facets and lume, elongated sword hands, and a horizontal “brick” texture that appears almost unique to each color variant. The blue variant showcases the most contrast, while the green one provides the deepest look. The beveled date display at 4 o’clock and the 24-hour register at around 3 o’clock are neatly arranged, while the left subdial contains AL/TR markings that align with the analog mode indicated in earlier leaks and launch reports.
Putting everything together, these images effectively emphasize the B1000’s appeal: it offers MT-G-like finishing and wearability at a more accessible price point, while still including Tough Solar, Bluetooth time synchronization, and LED lighting features. All three models are currently available for pre-order in Japan and Europe. Although the precise availability date is yet to be revealed, we anticipate an announcement in November.
