The Casio G-Shock GMC-B2100Y-1A watch is about to launch in the UK. Also on the way to Japan, it is described as a full metal model with a stainless steel octagonal bezel. Features include Bluetooth connectivity, Home City time swap, a stopwatch and Tough Solar charging.

Casio has announced that the G-Shock GMC-B2100Y-1A watch is coming soon to the UK. This analog timepiece was revealed earlier in July 2025 and has already been confirmed for release in Japan this August.

At the Casio online store in the UK, the G-Shock GMC-B2100Y-1A is now listed as “coming soon”. The new product page reveals that the watch will retail for £690, and it is also labelled as a July 2025 release. While Casio has yet to specify an exact launch date, prospective customers can sign up to get an email notification when the product becomes available.

The G-Shock GMC-B2100Y-1A is a full-metal chronograph with an octagonal bezel. The bezel and casing are made from stainless steel, with a resin element between the bezel and case to enhance shock resistance. Plus, the watch has a textured silicone strap. According to the listing, it measures 51.3 x 46.3 x 12.4 mm (~2.0 x 1.8 x 0.5 inches) and weighs 108 g (~3.8 oz).

This 2100-series watch supports Bluetooth, allowing users to get automatic time adjustments when connected to their smartphone. The Home City time swap function can be used to quickly switch between two time zones. Other tools include a daily alarm, a countdown timer and a 1-second stopwatch. There is also Tough Solar charging and a white LED backlight.

Casio has yet to announce any plans to bring the G-Shock GMC-B2100Y-1A to other European countries or the US.
