Casio unveils special edition G-Shock Fire Package 2025 watches, preorders now open
It’s that time of the year again when Casio rolls out its limited-edition G-Shock “Fire Package” watches. This trend has been going on since 2014, with the Japanese watchmaker releasing special themed AWG-M100 and 2300 series watches in the first quarter of each year. In keeping with the tradition, Casio has now officially unveiled the 2025 G-Shock Fire Package lineup.
This year’s duo consists of the analog-digital AWG-M100FP-1A2JR watch and the fully digital GW-2320FP-1A2JR model. The theme revolves around freshmen, youth, and “people who are taking on new challenges in new fields,” which Casio says is expressed through the black base color and cool blue accents. The watches ship in a special box, seemingly made out of eco-friendly materials. It's a shame Casio stopped using the iconic trunk-style box last year.
The G-Shock Fire Package 2025 edition is now available for pre-order in Japan. The price starts at 24,200 yen (~$162) for the analog-digital GW-2320FP model and goes up to 31,900 yen (~$213) for the fully digital AWG-M100FP watch. What about a global release? Well, Fire Package watches are usually Japan-exclusive. Some models in the past have occasionally made their way to the US and UK. However, the 2023 and 2024 editions didn't, so we won't hold our breath.
In terms of features, both watches offer Tough Solar charging, Multi-band 6 radio-controlled time adjustment, 20 bar water resistance, an LED backlight, and shock resistance. The typical watch features are also onboard including world time for 48 cities, 5 daily alarms, a fully automatic calendar, a stopwatch, and a countdown timer.
The Fire Package series has an interesting history. Originally launched in 2004, the first edition included three hybrid analog-digital watches. However, there were no subsequent releases for more than a decade. Casio revived the lineup in 2015 with a different approach, offering just two models: the AWG-M100, an analog-digital hybrid, and the GW-M500, a fully digital watch. Since then, it has remained a yearly tradition.
