Casio GM2100 One Ok Rock watch rumored to be launching in the US
The Casio G-Shock GM-2100TTTR-8A watch is rumored to be on the way to the US. This model celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Japanese rock band One OK Rock, designed in collaboration with bassist Ryota. This model was announced in March for the Japanese market.
The GM-2100TTTR-8A has since been spotted at the Casio online stores in Singapore, Taiwan, and the Philippines. It is also listed on the brand's international website, hinting at a wider rollout. According to the listing, this shock resistant model has 20 bar water resistance and an estimated three-year battery life. It has a stainless steel bezel and resin strap, with a cherry blossom pattern on the watch face.
This 2100 Series watch is a hybrid model with a smaller inset digital display and a hand shift feature to ensure that it is not obscured by the watch's hands. It can display world time zones in 48 cities in either 12 or 24-hour formats. Features include a 1/100th second stopwatch, a countdown timer, and five daily alarms. Plus, a double LED backlight means you can always read the watch. The case measures 49.3 mm (~1.9 inches) across at the widest point and weighs 72 g (~2.5 oz).
A recent report suggests that the Casio G-Shock GM-2100TTTR-8A watch will launch in the US, priced at $300. This would make it the same price as similar recent releases like the GM2100YMG-9A. The source of this rumor is unclear, and there is no indication of a launch date. The watch is scheduled to launch in Japan on April 10th, priced at ¥44,000 (~$300). It is worth noting that the stock at the Casio Japan online store has already sold out during the pre-order event.
