Casio officially lists new Hotei x G-Shock GM-5600 collab with price, preorder info
Casio has now officially published the product page for the fourth Hotei × G-Shock collaboration. Finally, we can fill in the two details its earlier announcements left out entirely. The reference is GM-5600HT26-1JR, and it costs ¥36,300 including tax, roughly $230.
Casio also has a December 2026 release planned. Hotei's own store opens earlier and in two stages. The first preorder window is from 14 October at 19:00 to 19 October at 23:59, the second from 25 November to 30 November, with shipping from late November and early December respectively. Orders are capped at one per person. Hotei's store adds two co-branded guitar picks that the Casio and G-Shock channels do not.
The base is the GM-5600. The line is known for its resin case alongside a stainless-steel bezel. That is a reasonable upgrade from the DW-5600 used for the 35th anniversary model — it was resin throughout. Casio's figures for the platform are 49.6 by 43.2 by 12.9 mm and 73 g. The watch also gets 200 m water resistance, mineral glass and a battery rated around two years.
The decoration is a grey Guitarhythm pattern printed across the band and repeated on the face behind a negative LCD. Casio has engraved the Guitarhythm mark on the caseback. You can see 45TH printed on the strap keeper and black IP applied to the buckle. The box also comes with the same pattern across every surface.
Functionally, nothing really changes from a standard GM-5600. There is a 1/100-second stopwatch to 59:59.99, a 24-hour countdown with auto-repeat, multiple alarms with an hourly signal, a full auto calendar and an EL backlight.
