What to know

Casio’s GBM-2100LXB-1A2 adds a finely gridded black dial to the octagonal G-Shock silhouette. A black ion-plated stainless-steel bezel surrounds blue vapour-deposition accents at the glass perimeter, while gunmetal-coloured indices and metallic details give the display a more layered appearance. The textured bio-based resin strap continues the dial’s small-square motif.

This is a Tough Solar quartz watch with Bluetooth Smartphone Link, rather than a mechanical movement. Casio specifies a 49.3 × 44.4 × 11.9mm case, 72g weight, mineral glass and 200-metre water resistance. Everyday functions include world time, a stopwatch, countdown timer and alarms. The official international listing marks it as a November 2026 introduction; a precise first-sale date has not been verified.
