Casio is making the GA-B010 series official with Bluetooth, Tough Solar, and a step counter. Listed at ¥27,500 (~$179), these new G-Shocks feature app sync, 200m water resistance, and power-efficient resin builds in black and olive colorways.

Casio has officially listed the new G-Shock GA-B010 series for pre-order in Japan, confirming the previously leaked specs and features. The lineup includes three models: GA-B010-1AJF (black), GA-B010-1A1JF (black with blackout dial), and GA-B010-3AJF (olive).

All three GA-B010 models feature Bluetooth connectivity - making them the first in Casio’s 10-year battery line to add this function. Key features include automatic time correction, step counter with a 999,999-step maximum reading, world time for 38 time zones, and integration with the Casio Watches smartphone app for data sync and mobile-linked operations. Each watch also keeps the shock-resistant build and 200-meter water resistance.

The GA-B010 uses Casio’s Tough Solar technology for charging, combined with a battery management algorithm that greatly cuts down on power consumption. The step counter is now said to use 40% less power than previous models. A fully charged watch can operate for approximately 26 months on battery save mode. The main case, bezel, and band components are constructed from plant-derived (biomass) resin.

Physical specs

  • Case size: 52.3 x 49.3 x 15.2 mm
  • Weight: 57g
  • Scratch-resistant mineral glass
  • Band fits wrists from 145 to 215 mm.

Each GA-B010 includes: five daily alarms, stopwatch, 24-hour countdown timer, double LED white backlight, full auto calendar, 12/24hr time, and power saving functions. All the basic controls and features are here, with the added benefit of phone connectivity for settings sync, time calibration, and more.

In Japan, all models are listed at ¥27,500 (tax included). Market launch is set for November 2025, likely alongside the new Pro Trek 30th anniversary models and the origami-themed watches.
