The Casio G-Shock GPR-H1000 and MR-G MRG-B2100 watches have received 2025 iF Design Awards. The competition takes place in Hamburg annually, with 131 judges from countries worldwide choosing the products with the best designs.

These are not the first Casio watches to win iF Design Awards and the company has also been recognised in the past for the design of its digital pianos and scientific calculators. The 2025 iF Design Award Night is taking place in Berlin on April 28th.
