  • 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’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.

  • 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.

This years release is one of the more unique ones in recent memory. Two models, which were leaked previously, make up the 2026 collection, with a release planned for early June.

    The Higher-End Model Is Built on the GW-8200 Frogman Platform

    The higher-end piece is built on the GW-8200 Frogman platform, which has been long associated with serious diving use. The semi-transparent light blue bioplastic case and strap is meant to depict the surface of open water — and the effect does work.

  • New Casio G-Shock GA-2100 Collab Watch Launches

    New Casio G-Shock GA-2100 Collab Watch Launches

    Key Takeaway

    – New regional store exclusive G-Shock (GA-2100-7APRY-KIT) for Yunnan, China.
    – Collaboration with artist Cui Xinwen featuring Lucky Elephant motif on both sides of the strap.
    – Includes collectible packaging and a lanyard with three detachable enamel charms.
    – Based on standard white GA-2100 platform (carbon-reinforced resin, 20 BAR water resistance).
    – No pricing or wider availability announced yet.


    Casio’s New Yunnan Store Special

    Casio have relesed a new regional shop only G-Shock built on the GA-2100 platform that was created in collaboration with Chineese artist Cui Xinwen. The GA-2100-7APRY-KIT is exclusive to the Yunnan City G-Shock store and themed around the region using a Lucky Elephant motif, which is a fitting choice since Yunnan province is the only place in China were wild Asian elephants still roam. No pricing or wider availability has been announced.

    Watch Construction and Design Details

    The watch itsself uses the standard white GA-2100 base — carbon fiber-reinforced resin case, black dial, analog-digital module with 20 BAR water resistance — but the collab work is concentrated on the band. Cui Xinwen’s Lucky Elephant character, which is rendered in black ink illustration style, apears many times across the full length of both strap sides in differnt poses, and the blue strap holes are present for contrast against the white band. The case back carries a black-on-dark-dial dial layout that keeps the overall appearance fairly clean, so the strap does most of the visual work.

    Kit Contents and Charm Details

    The “KIT” suffix in the model name also carries importance, because besides the watch, the package includes a black-and-white checkered rope lanyard holding three enamel charms from Cui Xinwen’s character universe — a blue elephant in a red mushroom cap, a dancing yellow figure, and a teal abstract form. The charms are attatched via swivel clasps, meaning they can be mixed or unattached independently, and the packaging itself is a collectors item with a sturdy light-blue box wrapped in full-coverage artwork featuring the Lucky Elephant which @geesgshock — who was among the first to share images internationall — confirmed arrived in May.

    Regional Exclusivity History

    Casio have form with China region store exclusives on the GA-2100 platform, most recent being the Guiyang store’s GA-2100HDS-7A1PRG last year, and this follows the exact same playbook. No pricing or more wider availability has been announced by the brand at this time.

    • Carbon fiber-reinforced resin case
    • Black dial with analog-digital module
    • 20 BAR water resistance
    • Black ink illustration style strap
    • Blue strap holes for contrast
    • Three enamel charms included
    • Collector’s box with full artwork

  • Gen Z Buys Casio’s Cheapest Watches, Saving the Company

    Gen Z Buys Casio’s Cheapest Watches, Saving the Company

    Key Takeaway

    – Casio posted a strong FY2026: net profit ¥18.2b (~$115m), more than double prior year; revenue up 5.5% to ¥276.3b; operating profit up 62% to ¥23.1b.
    – Growth is led by the Casio Watch line (retro A159, MTP-1302), driven by younger buyers and a successful Korea social strategy; G-Shock remains solid but not the main driver.
    – Watch segment delivered ¥185b (~$1.17b) with a 14.7% operating margin, but Q3 demand outpaced supply in Q4, causing stockouts on popular G-Shock models and partial production relief.
    – Outlook: revenue guidance of ¥295b (~$1.86b) for the current year and a target operating margin of 11.1% by 2029.

    Casio just dropped its fiscal year 2026 earnings, and the numbers are genuinely quite surprising. Net profit came in at ¥18.2 billion (roughly $115 million) — more than double the previous year’s figure. Revenue grew 5.5% to ¥276.3 billion (~$1.74 billion), and operating profit jumped 62% to ¥23.1 billion (~$146 million). For a company that was posting pretty dismal numbers just two years ago, this is a huge turnaround.

    Sales momentum and product mix

    The interesting part is what’s actually driving it. It’s not the G-Shock — though that’s doing just fine on its own and pulling its own weight alongside, considering it’s arguably Casio’s most popular line. Instead, it’s the “Casio Watch” line: thin, lightweight retro models that were never supposed to be cool again. Watches like the A159 and MTP-1302, which you’d find on your someone’s wrist in the 90s and don’t cost more than $50-$70, have become highly sought-after, especially among younger buyers who’re into the whole “vintage” aesthetic. Casio’s Korea social media strategy caught on particularly fast there and reportedly created demand that spread across the region.

    Demand dynamics and production constraints

    The watch business overall pulled in ¥185 billion (~$1.17 billion) at a 14.7% operating margin, which is healthy by any measure. However, there was one wrinkle — demand in Q3 was so strong that popular G-Shock models went out of stock in Q4, and emergency production increases could only partially cover it. To be fair, that’s a good problem to have, but it still deserves an explicit mention.

    Profitability and outlook

    Looking ahead, Casio is projecting ¥295 billion (~$1.86 billion) in revenue for the current year and is targeting an operating margin of 11.1% by 2029.

    Availability in Japan

    Both variants feature a semi-transparent see-through bezel with a carbon fiber reinforced resin center case — the watch weighs just 47 g at 51.1 × 44.5 × 17.3 mm.

    Display and Build

    The GBX-H5600 packs an optical heart rate sensor and a 3-axis accelerometer, which enables heart rate monitoring (30–220 bpm), sleep tracking with recovery analysis, blood oxygen measurement, step counting, breathing exercises, and detailed activity logging across running, walking, and gym workouts. Tide graph functionality covers up to 3,300 worldwide points when paired with a smartphone, alongside sunrise/sunset times and moon phase data.

  • Casio G-Shock MRG-BF1000EB-1A Titanium with Sapphire Bezel $7,700

    Casio G-Shock MRG-BF1000EB-1A Titanium with Sapphire Bezel $7,700

    Key Takeaway

    1. The MRG-BF1000EB-1A features a faceted sapphire bezel inspired by brinicles, enhancing its aquatic and premium design aesthetic.
    2. It utilizes a titanium case with DLC coating and a sapphire caseback, combining durability, scratch resistance, and water resistance certified for professional diving.
    3. The watch includes advanced features such as Bluetooth, solar charging, tide indicator, dive log, and a unique mechanical hand merger for underwater readability.

    The upcoming Casio MRG-BF1000EB-1A appears to be a very unique and highly intriguing diver watch. Casio’s gearing up to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the MRG line, and early revealing renders, as spotted by Casioblog, hint at a stunning model that could become a collector’s favorite this year. The design lovers are especially excited about this one.

    What makes this watch stand out?

    The standout feature here is the faceted sapphire bezel, inspired by a very rare natural phenomenon – brinicles. These icy structures look like multi-faceted ice columns, formed because supercooled salty water interacts with sea ice in Antarctica. Casio took this concept and translated it into the bezel’s geometric sapphire design, matching the high-quality aesthetic expected from the MRG-Frogman series. It’s a strange but beautiful homage to underwater nature’s artistry.

    Construction details and materials used

    This watch is built with sturdy titanium, coated in a sleek dark grey DLC finish, and hardened for extra durability, with measures to withstand professional diving pressures. Its case measures 56 mm by 49.7 mm width, with a thickness of 18.6 mm, making it robust yet wearable. Interestingly, the case back features sapphire glass with intricate Frogman frog engravings, which gives it a special touch. The watch comprises over 70 different parts, all precisely assembled to meet ISO 200 standards, ensuring it’s suitable for serious underwater adventures.

    Design and strap options

    Now, for the straps, Casio has provided a white fluorocarbon rubber band, which excels in resisting water and chemicals while feeling soft on the skin. It also seems like it comes with a metal bracelet made of titanium, plus a handy quick-change tool and a dedicated storage case. This combination ensures versatility and protection for the high-value timepiece.

    Features and technology packed inside

    This Frogman is loaded with features going beyond typical watches, like Bluetooth connectivity, solar power, multi-band radio sync, and a dual time display. It even offers tide information, a 30-dive log, stopwatch, timer, and a perpetual calendar. A truly clever detail is during diving, where the hour and minute hands mechanically merge into a single pointer for better underwater visibility, a feature that smartly caters to divers’ needs.

    Pricing and availability info

    The rumored price for this model is around $7,700, making it one of the most expensive Casio watches in the MRG series. Only about 800 units are expected worldwide, which could make this a highly sought-after collector’s item. Casio’s official announcement is anticipated soon, revealing more specifics, along with additional images of this spectacular dive watch.

    Additional notes

    While waiting for the official release, enthusiasts might want to explore models like the Casio GW-M5610U-1, widely appreciated for its affordability and robust features, available on various retail sites where digital watch fans often hunt for new releases.

It was initially announced in Japan early in April 2026, then it poped up in some parts of Europe, before making its way to Casio’s global sales channels. The new full-metal design makes it look more premium compare to past models.

    Design and Build Features

    This watch is based on the latest GMW-BZ5000 platform, which came out late 2025 and is an upgrade of the classic square G-Shock design. The RC version stands out because of its special finish. The whole watch case, bezel, and band are all made from stainless steel. What’s interesting is the gradient rainbow ion-plated on the center of the case, and a thin rainbow vapor-deposited ring around the display.

The watch runs on Tough Solar power, connects via Multi Band 6 radio signals, and pairs with Bluetooth for automatic time updates through Casio Watches app. Also included are dual world time, a precise 1/100-second stopwatch, countdown timer, five daily alarms, and an auto-calendar function for convenience. The standout upgrade over older square models is the MIP LCD display which offers higher contrast and better viewing angles. This helps you read the time easily in various lighting, and you can customize display styles and fonts using the app.

    Battery & Pricing Details

    Battery life varies based on usage but Casio estimates around six months without exposure to light, extending up to about 22 months in power-saving mode. When it comes to pricing, the Japanese launch price was about ¥121,000, roughly $750 to $760. European prices are similar, but in the US, it’s listed at $880. Due to the premium build, stock might be limited, and availability can vary depending on region and retailer. If you’re interested, there are other G-Shock models like the GW-M5610U-1 that are easier to find and more budget-friendly.
