  • Casio G-Shock x Pokémon Collab Watch Officially Leaks

    Casio G-Shock x Pokémon Collab Watch Officially Leaks

    Key Takeaway

    – First full-sized G-Shock in Casio x Pokémon collaboration
    – Design inspired by Pikachu: red/green hands, Poké Ball sub-dial, clear resin case
    – Previous collabs were limited to smaller Baby-G models
    – Likely wider global release, not region-limited
    – No official confirmation on pricing, specs, or release date yet

    Pokémon and G-Shock Finally Collide?

    Until now, Casio’s past collaborations with Pokémon have so far adhered to one lane, and that is compact Baby-G models like the BA-110PKC, released back in 2020 and 2021. That could change with a newly leaked image, which shows a full-sized G-Shock joining the lineup for the first time, branded as the GA-110PKM-7A. The image comes from Instagram leaker @geesgshock, whom adds this is actually a re-share — a previous post on the same watch was reportedly taken down at the sources request. Seeing it resurface is generally a good sign.

    Design Inspired by Pikachu’s Palette

    It’s built on the GA-110 case in clear, translucent resin. The overall design looks to be inspired from Pikachu’s color palette. The hour and minute hands carry red and green tones, like Pikachu’s cheeks and tail, and a small sub-dial sits near the 9 o’clock position styled after a Poké Ball. “Pokémon” branding is visible across the dial at 3 o’clock, while the see-through case and band mean the internal components show through, just like past clear G-Shock releases. The size disparity is prolly the most important aspect here.

    Full-Sized G-Shock vs Baby-G

    Every previous Casio x Pokémon watch has existed in the smaller Baby-G space. If this leak holds any weight, the GA-110PKM-7A would be the first time the collab scales up to a full-sized G-Shock, which could grab a different audience than what past releases did. The leak implies a likely release in the near future, likely as a wider, global drop rather than a region-limited one.

    Pricing and Timing Still Unconfirmed

    Casio and The Pokémon Company haven’t confirmed anything officialy yet, so pricing, specs, and timing are unverified for now. Keep an eye out for more leaks or a potential announcment soon. This could be a fan favorite if it hits shelves.

    – Casio also released the G-Shock Bold Camo collection (4 models, $145–$280), each including a free Camo Pouch.

    G-Shock Red Lantern Series Hits US Shores

    Casio has officially launched its G-Shock Red Lantern series in the US for $190, with the G-Shock DW-6900AKA-4 and DW-5600AKA-4. The series was first launched by the company in its home market of Japan in April. Both watches are part of the Aka-Chochin series, which takes its name from the traditional red paper lanterns that are often hung outside taverns in Japan.

    Design and Inspiration Behind the Red Lantern Models

    Casio’s G-Shock Red Lantern watches are inspired by red paper Akachochin lanterns that frequently hang outside bars in Japan. Both the DW-5600AKA-4 and DW-6900AKA-4 feature red colored resin casing and straps. There are black accents, like Japanese characters that read “shock resistant”, buttons and band loops. And the LED backlight used to illuminate the digital display has a red tint.

    Two Distinct Watch Profiles Offered

    The G-Shock DW-5600 is a rectangular digital watch, and the DW-6900 is a round watch with triple circle graphics above a thinner display. Both have a 1/100th second stopwatch, timer and alarm and both are water resistant to 200 m.

    Simultaneous Launch of Bold Camo Collection

    In addition to the Red Lantern series, Casio has also introduced the G-Shock Bold Camo collection to the US market. The four new models—the DW6900CMG-3, GA700CMG-3A, GAV01CMG-3A, and GM6900CMG-3—are currently available on the G-Shock US website. Priced between $145 and $280, each watch in this rugged lineup includes a complimentary G-Shock Camo Pouch with purchase.

  • Casio launches slim square watches in US with 4 colors

    Casio launches slim square watches in US with 4 colors

    Key Takeaway

    – Four new MTP-B185 series watches announced at $100–$120
    – Slim 7.3 mm case, stainless steel, 50m water resistance
    – Clean three-hand design with date display, no sub-dials
    – Gold-tone MTPB185G-9AV is the standout dressier option
    – Available now on Casio.com, competing with more feature-rich alternatives

    New Casio Watches Revealed

    Casio has listed four new MTP-B185 series watches on its US website, all tagged as June 2026 releases. Three are from the MTP-B185D line — the MTPB185D-2A1V (navy dial), MTPB185D-2A2V (light blue dial), and MTPB185D-7AV (silver dial) — each priced at $100. The fourth, the MTPB185G-9AV, upgrades to a full gold-tone treatment and is priced at $120.

    Shared Specifications Across Models

    All four share the same case — stainless steel measuring 40 × 32.5 × 7.3 mm, weighing 80 g, with a mineral glass crystal. The bracelet is a stainless steel adjustable clasp type, fitting wrists between 150 and 205 mm. Water resistance is rated at 50 meters. The dial features a date display, and all models carry a three-hand setup with a clean, index-only layout and no sub-dials.

    Distinctive Gold-Tone Variant

    The fourth model, MTPB185G-9AV, distinguishes itself with a gold ion-plated case and bracelet over the same stainless steel foundation. All that gives it a much dressier look compared to the silver-tone D-series variants. Its like having two different watches in one collection though they share the same bones.

    • MTPB185D-2A1V: Navy dial, $100
    • MTPB185D-2A2V: Light blue dial, $100
    • MTPB185D-7AV: Silver dial, $100
    • MTPB185G-9AV: Gold-tone, $120

    Design and Market Position

    The MTP-B185 lineup sits comfortably in Casio’s vintage-adjacent Standard range, with the square case and integrated bracelet drawing obvious comparisons to 1970s dress watch aesthetics. The slim 7.3 mm profile and uncluttered dials should make them versatile enough for both casual and dressed-up wear. However, at $100-$120, you can opt for more premium options with a better range of features.

    Availability

    All four models are available now on casio.com.

  • New Limited-Edition Translucent Casio G-Shock DW-5600

    Key Takeaway

    – Casio G-Shock DW-5600TNT-7 collaboration with Seoul-based street brand thisisneverthat
    – Features iconic DW-5600 design with translucent resin bezel, black case, and inverted LCD
    – Glow-in-the-dark bezel text and white LED backlight for added visual appeal
    – Retains core durability: shock resistance, 200-meter water resistance, and full time-keeping features
    – Goes on sale June 19 in select regions; pricing still unannounced

    Collaborations Are Everywhere Now

    There’s be a significant uptick in Casio’s collaborations with brands and popular franchises lately, resulting in some really exciting watches. The G-Shock x Coca-Cola and Gundam-themed DW-5600 are two of the best examples. Now Casio has teamed up with Seoul-based street brand thisisneverthat. The result is a clean-looking black-and-white watch with an inverted display.

    Design Details Unfolded

    Like we’ve already seen on so many recent Casio collaborations, the new watch is based on the iconic DW-5600. It combines a translucent resin bezel and band with a black case and inverted LCD for a striking high-contrast look. In Casio’s words, the design “blends 1990s mood with a contemporary street edge.” The logo of thisisneverthat prominently appears on the front, right above the display, as well as on the band loop. A stylised version of the logo also appears engraved on the case back.

    Hidden Visual Surprises

    The DW-5600TNT-7 also packs a small visual delight in the form of a glow-in-the-dark effect, where the phosphorescent finish causes the PROTECTION and G-SHOCK text on the bezel to glow green. It also features a crisp white LED Super Illuminator backlight. The watch still boasts shock resistance and robust 200-meter water resistance, and comes loaded with handy time-keeping features like a 1/100-second stopwatch, a countdown timer, a multi-function alarm with a flash alert buzzer, and an auto-calendar to 2099.

    Packaging and Release Info

    The official announcement mentions that the watch will ship in a special package, though it appears to be a relatively simple cardboard box featuring the logos of thisisneverthat and Casio G-Shock. The Casio G-Shock DW-5600TNT-7 x thisisneverthat collaboration watch is set to go on sale Friday, June 19, in the US, Canada, Europe, South Korea, and Japan. Casio has yet to reveal regional pricing.

    Casio’s Japan-Inspired G-Shocks Now Available in US

    Key Takeaway

    – Two G-Shock models inspired by Japan’s Akachochin red lantern tradition now available in the US for $190 each
    – All-red design with black Japanese “shock resistant” text and a red-tinted LED backlight
    – Built on iconic DW-5600 (rectangular) and DW-6900 (round) platforms with standard G-Shock features
    – US price is significantly higher than the ¥22,000 (~$139) Japanese retail price
    – Exclusive to Casio.com in the US with no prior press release or email notification

    Casio has finally brought the G-Shock DW5600AKA-4 and DW6900AKA-4 to its US store, each priced at $190. The two watches, inspired by the Japanese Akachochin red lantern tradition, first launched in Japan in April 2026 at ¥22,000 (~$139) a piece.

    A Colorful Tribute to Tradition

    The design is inspired by Akachochin — a emblem of warmth and a relaxed athmosphere, commonly seen outside casual bars and small resturants in Japan, especially izakaya, where people gather after work to unwind. So what we’ll get is a all-red treatment across both timepieces, with black Japanese characters reading “shock resistant” printed prominantly on the case and strap, alongside black accent’s on the buttons and band loops. The LED backlight carries a red tint to match the overall vibe completly.

    Platforms and Dimensions

    The two models are built on some of G-Shock’s most recognizable platforms. The DW-5600 is a rectangular digital watch, while the DW-6900 features a round case with triple circle graphics above a slimmer display. The DW5600AKA-4 measure’s 42.8 mm in diameter and 13.4 mm in thickness, uses a mineral glass crystal, and is rated for 200 m of water resistence. Both models share standard G-Shock features, including a 1/100th second stopwatch, countdown timer, and alarm; these are basic functions you’d expect and they preform reliably.

    Launch Details and Pricing

    The US launch was announced by G-Shock US and the G-Shock Soho Store on Instagram, without any prior email notifcation or a dedicated press release. The watches are expected to be exclusive to Casio.com in the US market, which is a bit unusual for a release that already have demand.

    At $190, however, the AKA-4 pair costs way more than the Japanese retail price, which is usualy typical for G-Shock releases crossing into Western markets. Both are available now directly through Casio’s US website for consumers whom are interested in picking them up.

    History and Design of the AQ230 Series

    The AQ230 line has been around since 1995, itself a follow-up to the Casio Janus AQ-200 from 1982. The series uses a two-hand analog display with a digital LCD. The design keeps the analog hands clear of the digital readout for unobstructed legibility. The AQ230A-7DMQY, as expected, follows the same formula, with a white dial on a silver-tone stainless steel bracelet — one of many colorways currently listed in the US.

    Specifications and Dimensions

    Specs are in line with the rest of the AQ230 family. The case measures 38.8 × 29.8 × 8.1 mm and weighs 47 g, with a resin case body under a chrome-plated bezel and a resin glass crystal. The stainless steel bracelet fits wrists between 140 and 205 mm with an adjustable clasp. Battery life is rated at approximately three years on a SR920W cell.

    Feature Set and Water Resistance

    Feature-wise, the watch covers the basics well. It offers dual time, a 1/100-second stopwatch with elapsed time measurement, daily alarm, hourly time signal, and an auto-calendar. The display handles both 12 and 24-hour formats, with the analog side showing hours and minutes while the digital readout adds seconds, pm indicator, month, date, and day. Water resistance is listed simply as water resistant on the official website.

    Availability and Pricing Details

    The AQ230A-7DMQY is available now at casio.com. Alternatively, you can check out the Casio AQ230A-1D on Amazon.

    – It comes in custom packaging: a blue presentation box and a collectible metal tin styled like a wheel-and-tire setup.

    Exclusive Collab Watch Drops in June

    Casio just announced a new special-edition DW-5600 alongside Toyo Tires, a Japanese company well-known for high-performance rubber. Called the G-Shock DW5600TT25-1, this watch is hitting the U.S. market on June 14 at a price of $150.

    The DW5600TT25-1 gets its style from Toyo’s newest Proxes Sport R extreme-performance summer tyre, featuring a eye-catching white dial inside a black resin case and band that shows off a tread pattern. The contrasting blue band loop, plus Toyo Tires, Casio, and G-Shock stamps in matching blue, gives the watch a distinct motorsport flavor.

    Detailing and Hidden Surprise

    Extra custom touches are all over the design. The band has the Toyo Tires and Proxes logos painted in white, together with stylised “R” writing near the lower edge. Flip over the watch, and youll find these details carved into the case back on a pattern that looks like a tyre sidewall. There is also a cool easter egg: a blue Proxes “R” logo appears on the screen whenever the LED backlight turns on. Its a neat detail and one weve noticed on several other special G-Shocks before, like the Korea-only Gundam collab and the G-Shock x Challenger.

    Box and Specifications

    The watch comes in custom packaging, which includes a blue presentation box and a collectible black metal tin shaped like a wheel-and-tyre setup, complete with tread detailing.

    As for specs, the DW5600TT25-1 keeps everything that made the square G-Shock a fan favorite. It measures 48.9 x 42.8 x 13.4 mm, tips the scales at just 52 grams, and uses Casios special shock-resistant design with 200 meters of water resistance. Other highlights include a 1/100-second stopwatch, countdown timer, multi-function alarm, flash alerts, full auto-calendar going up to year 2099, and an LED backlight with afterglow. Battery life is rated at about five years from a CR2016 battery.

    Release Schedule and Retailers

    The Casio G-Shock DW5600TT25-1 x Toyo Tires will go on sale Sunday, June 14, at BAITs Diamond Bar store in California, with online orders starting Monday, June 15, at 12 PM PDT through BAITs special launch site.

  • Casio MTG-B4000B-1A Launches in US at $1,500

    Casio MTG-B4000B-1A Launches in US at $1,500

    Key Takeaway

    – $1,500 US price for the MTG-B4000B-1A
    – Case developed using a three-step human-AI-engineer process for impact resistance
    – Triple G Resist rating: withstands mechanical shock, centrifugal force, and heavy vibration
    – Powered by Tough Solar charging with Bluetooth and Multiband 6 radio time sync
    – Available now on Casio’s US website with limited stock

    Casio’s Latest Shock-Resistant Watch Reaches America

    Japanese watch maker Casio has finally bring the MTG-B4000B-1A to the US, priced at $1,500. The watch was launched in Japan about a month ago. The watch features an enhanced version of Casio’s Dual Core Guard construction, which consists of laminated carbon, glass fiber sheets, and stainless steel in the form of the protective housing for the internal module.

    A Three-Step Design Process That Stands Out

    What is interesting about the development of this particular model is how that structure was developed. Casio used a three-step process, with human designers comming up with the initial concepts, AI software conducting structural stress analysis on those concepts, and engineers using the simulation data to fine-tune the final form. What you get is a case built for impact resistance, not simply designed to a visual template.

    Materials and Construction Details

    The case back is made using metal injection molding, a process that can produce more complex and dimensional shapes than are possible with standard machining techniques. This particular setup sports a black carbon body with red dial accents and a soft urethane band.

    Physically, the MTG-B4000B-1A measures 56.6 by 45.3 by 14.4mm and weighs 112g. It’s called the Casio Triple G Resist, meaning the internal module is rated to endure mechanical shock, centrifugal force, and heavy vibration. The dial is protected by a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, and the case is water-resistant to 200 meters.

    Power and Connectivity Features

    The power is provided by a Casio Tough Solar charging system, which keeps the battery charged by exposure to light. The watch links with Android and iOS devices over Bluetooth using the Casio Watches app that handles automatic time synchronization, alarms, and world time settings in 300 cities.

    • For those who don’t want to rely on a smartphone, the watch includes Multiband 6 radio control, which is able to recieve signals for time calibration from six transmission towers across the globe.
    • The internal battery is good for about five months of use without exposure to any light. Power saving mode on and stashed in the dark, that figure becomes 18 months.

    Availability and Limited Stock Notice

    The MTG-B4000B-1A is available now on Casio’s US website, though the company notes that stock is currently limited.

  • New Casio GM-S2110 Blacked-Out G-Shock Collab Coming

    New Casio GM-S2110 Blacked-Out G-Shock Collab Coming

    Key Takeaway

    – New Rels B G-Shock collab uses the smaller GM-S2110 platform (slimmer S-series case, resin band).
    – Features an all-dark colorway with brushed metal bezel and custom caseback engraved with Rels B/G-Shock logos and tour artwork.
    – Ships in a custom aluminum flight case branded with the Rels B logo.
    – Release date is June 18; pricing unconfirmed but expected to exceed standard €130-150 due to custom packaging and engraving.

    Casio and Rels B Drop Another G-Shock Collab

    Casio is dropping another G-Shock collaboration with Spanish rapper Rels B, this time on the smaller GM-S2110 platform. The new GM-S2110B-8ARLSB, teased via a 3rd party Instagram account (geesgshock), is set to release on June 18. Rels B (real name Daniel Heredia Vidal) is a Latin rapper and producer from Palma de Mallorca, Spain, who also goes by Skinny Flakk, which explains the “ARLSB” suffix in the model number.

    Design and Special Features

    The watch is based on the octagonal GA-2100 silhouette, finished in an all-dark colorway with a brushed metal bezel. What sets it apart from the standard GM-S2110B-8A is a caseback engraved with the Rels B and G-Shock logos alongside tour artwork, just like the rapper’s concert imagery, as hinted at in the Spanish-language video (“de sus conciertos”). It ships in a custom aluminum flight case branded with the Rels B logo.

    Previous Collaboration and Size Difference

    This isn’t the duo’s first time working together. Rels B previously became a G-Shock ambassador to help launch the GM-2110, a full-metal model with an elegant design alongside durability, released in five colorways — that was the larger, bracelet-equipped version. The GM-S2110B-8ARLSB moves to the slimmer S-series case, which features a compact size suited for slimmer wrists, with a resin band instead of a metal bracelet.

    Pricing and Availability Details

    No pricing has been confirmed yet, though standard GM-S2110B-8A variants typically retail around €130-150 in Europe. Given the custom packaging and engraving, the collab model will likely carry a premium over that.
