Casio Reveals Two New G-Shock Full Metal Watches, Including 50th Anniversary Edition

The GM-B2100SD-1A and GMC-B2100ZE-1A are two new models that Casio will be adding to its well-liked G-Shock Full Metal line in October.

Features of the G-SHOCK GM-B2100SD-1A

The 2022 GM-B2100D-1A has been enhanced with a darker grey backdrop, silver watch hands, and hour markers to provide better reading. This model is called the GM-B2100SD-1A. This small design change has the potential to have a big impact on user experience, especially for people who depend on their watches to tell the time quickly and easily in a range of lighting situations.

This device has solar charging, Bluetooth connectivity, and a hybrid analog and digital display. The watch is more than just a regular watch thanks to its Bluetooth capability, which enables it to connect with smartphones for automatic time adjustments, reminders, and a phone finder tool. With up to seven months of battery life thanks to Casio’s solar charging mechanism, the watch may be used for longer stretches of time between charges.

Pricing & availability

In Japan, pre-orders for the GM-B2100SD-1A are presently open for JP¥84,700 (~$572). Pricing and global availability are still pending.

Features of the G-SHOCK GMC-B2100ZE-1A

The GMC-B2100ZE-1A honors Casio’s 50th anniversary with a gold-toned link in the stainless steel band and a black-toned, ion-plated stainless steel bezel with gold accents. This distinctive design combines elegance with the legendary toughness of G-Shock.

The GMC-B2100ZE-1A differs from other GMC-B2100 models in appearance but has several features, such as Bluetooth and solar charging. In addition to the gold accents, the model will have all of the standard smart features from Casio, such as phone control through the Casio Watches app and automatic time adjustments.

Cost and availability

It is anticipated that the GMC-B2100ZE-1A will cost a great deal more than the GM-B2100SD-1A. The price and official release date outside of Japan, however, are still pending.
