New Delhi, May 6: Casio has launched its new Electro Green G-Shock collection in the United States. Initially announced in Japan earlier this April, the lineup features five existing watch models revamped with a vibrant color scheme. The design is simple yet striking: a matte black case and band complemented by neon green text and a green-tinted LCD panel.
Specs and Pricing
The collection is priced between $110 and $180, featuring both standard battery-powered models and slightly pricier options that come with Bluetooth and solar charging capabilities.
At the top of the price range is the $180 GA-B010BEG-1A. This model offers standard shock and water resistance, along with Casio’s Tough Solar charging system and Bluetooth connectivity. Users can connect it to the Casio smartphone app for automatic time synchronization, phone pinging, and alarm adjustments. Additionally, it includes a built-in step tracker.
The $165 GA-B2100BEG-1A shares the solar charging and Bluetooth features but omits the step tracker, showcasing the well-known octagonal case design often referred to as the CasiOak. Both connected models are constructed from Casio’s bio-based carbon and resin materials.
For those seeking a traditional watch without app connectivity, three other options are available. The $110 GD-010BEG-1 is the only fully digital watch in the collection, utilizing bio-based resin and powered by a standard CR2025 battery, which Casio estimates will last about 10 years.
The remaining two models are analog-digital hybrids made from standard resin. The GA-100BEG-1A is priced at $120 and features a magnetic-resistant case along with a speed indicator dial, running on a two-year battery. The GA-700BEG-1A costs $110, has a five-year battery life, and includes a large front-facing button to activate the LED backlight.
As expected from the G-Shock line, all five watches come with a baseline set of features. They are shock-resistant, water-resistant up to 200 meters, and include essential functions like stopwatches, countdown timers, world time, and daily alarms.
The Electro Green series is now available through Casio’s website and various US retailers. In related news, Casio has also introduced two new affordable AE1600HX digital watches in the US, along with the launch of two Star Wars-themed G-Shock models.
