Casio GA-110AS and GA-2100AS Oasis Series Watches Launching Feb 14
Casio is set to launch its Spring G-Shock collection, and it’s no longer just a rumor — new details confirm that the GA-110AS and GA-2100AS models will hit the market on February 14, 2025. These four timepieces, which were first leaked in January, feature blue-accented transparent dials and can already be found on Japanese retail sites like Rakuten and Yahoo Japan, proving their price and availability.
Pricing Details
The GA-110AS-2AJF and GA-110AS-5AJF models are tagged at 21,450 yen (around $145 USD), whereas the GA-2100AS-2AJF and GA-2100AS-5AJF are priced a bit lower at 19,800 yen (about $135 USD). These watches showcase a blend of beige and dark gray in their casing. This aesthetic aligns well with past G-Shock seasonal collections. The theme for this series is called ‘Oasis of day and night,’ reflecting the contrast between daytime and nighttime in a desert setting. This concept is illustrated by the blue translucent skeleton dials paired with vapor deposition indices.
Features and Design
As for features, this lineup adheres to the typical G-Shock durability standards, including shock resistance, water resistance up to 200 meters, LED backlight, world time function (across 48 cities), stopwatch, and five alarms. The GA-110AS models stand out with their bulkier design and prominent sub-dials, while the GA-2100AS models maintain a sleeker, octagonal ‘CasiOak’ design.
With the official pricing and release dates now revealed, the only uncertainty left is whether these models will be available outside Japan. Casio has not yet disclosed if they will be released internationally, but based on trends from previous Spring models, it’s likely that they will be distributed more widely.
G-Shock’s Global Reach
In conclusion, the excitement surrounding the new G-Shock collection is palpable, and fans are eager to see how these models will be received. The combination of stylish design and the reliability that G-Shock is known for makes these watches a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Casio GA-V01 Series Analog Watches Unveiled: Mixed Reactions
After much anticipation, we finally got a look at Casio’s GA-V01 series, which brings a surprise element — a WeChat mini-game known as OpenVWorld. Originally hinted at as a secretive addition to the G-Shock family, the final version might leave some loyal fans confused. According to information shared by @morgan_gshock on Instagram, the watch will come in four different colors, with prices ranging from 990 to 1,090 yuan (approximately $140 to $155). However, early feedback on social media suggests that it may not be the ‘big collector’s-edition watch’ many were expecting.
Game Integration Stands Out
The unexpected highlight is not just the watch, but its digital connection. According to a poster from Casio China (shared by @geesgshock on Instagram), OpenVWorld will be a ranking-based game linked to WeChat, allowing players to earn points and redeem rewards, which include G-Shock watches. This game is set to run from February 1 to April 30, 2025, but as of now, it’s unclear if it will be available outside of China.
Design Choices and Opinions
The GA-V01 will launch in four distinct colors:
G-Shocks are known for their bold styles, yet the GA-V01 seems to be pushing boundaries in a way that has split opinions. From the somewhat blurry images we’ve seen, the watches showcase a thick, rounded case along with an over-the-top gear-like bezel. It feels more like a marketing experiment. While the WeChat game may boost sales within China, it’s uncertain how well this digital element will connect with audiences elsewhere if it is intended for a global release. Furthermore, Casio has not yet confirmed whether this model will be sold internationally, or if a version without the game will be available in other regions.
A Divisive Release
The GA-V01 appears to be aimed at a specific market, featuring an unusual design that probably won’t appeal to everyone. As it stands, this watch might become one of the more controversial G-Shock releases in recent years. We should expect an exact release date very soon.

Casio Launches MTS-S100 Series Watches with Sapphire Crystal
Casio’s G-Shock division has recently rolled out a variety of new timepieces worldwide, including the Barbie Special Edition, the Master of G Caution Yellow series, and the Fine Metallic Series. Now, the company is set to launch a fresh collection of standard analog watches shortly. The forthcoming Casio MTS-S100 series is expected to hit the market in the next few days and will feature five distinct models: MTS-S100D-1AV, MTS-S100L-1AV, MTS-S100D-5A, MTS-S100D-2AV, and MTS-S100D-3AV.
Built to Last
These watches are crafted with durability in mind, showcasing sapphire crystal glass that includes an anti-glare coating, ensuring both scratch resistance and clear visibility. Every model in the series incorporates Casio’s Tough Solar technology, enabling them to recharge through ambient light, thus minimizing the need for battery changes.
Stylish Design
The dials employ a vapor deposition method to achieve smooth gradient color shifts, available in shades of green, blue, gray, and reddish-brown. The MTS-S100D models come equipped with brushed stainless-steel bracelets, while the MTS-S100L-1AV opts for a leather strap, adding a different style choice. Each watch has a case size of 47 x 41.7 x 9.5 mm, providing a compact and comfortable fit for daily usage. All models boast a water resistance rating of 50 meters, safeguarding them against splashes from rain or handwashing, but they are not suitable for swimming or diving. The precise launch date for these watches remains unclear, but their price is set at S$159 (approximately US$117) in Singapore.
Special Editions
In another announcement, Casio has released a special G-Shock model, the GA-B2100CD-1A4, in collaboration with the Charles Darwin Foundation. This piece showcases a striking red and black dual-tone design, taking inspiration from the Galapagos marine iguana.

Current GM-110 timepieces boast features like 31 world time zones, a 1/100-second stopwatch, a countdown timer, and five daily alarms.
