A recent leak from a third-party website has revealed upcoming additions to Casio's GA-010 and GD-010 series. Expected to debut this month in Japan, the leak hints towards fresh color schemes and updated designs that would appeal to fans of rugged watches.
The leak, courtesy of Great G-Shock World, introduces two main models: the G-Shock GA-010CE-2A, featuring a vibrant arctic blue design, and the G-Shock GD-010CE-5, with a military-inspired khaki color. Both models sport the series' signature crossband style and are rumored to retain the reliable 10-year battery life.
Accompanying these are two classic black models, the G-Shock GA-010-1A1 and G-Shock GD-010-1A1, which maintain their minimalist aesthetic while still incorporating robust durability. Functionalities like shock resistance, water resistance, and essential features such as a stopwatch, countdown timer, and alarm will also be likely featured in the new models.

The leaked release timeline suggests these models will be available in January 2025, starting in Japan. However, no official confirmation or broader availability details have been provided yet. While these details are not officially confirmed, they sure align with Casio's recent trends of refreshing its popular series with new designs.
