New Casio G-Shock step-tracking watches with Tough Solar now available in EU

The Casio G-Shock GA-B010-1A and GA-B010-3A watches are now available in more European countries, following their recent release in the UK. This is a new solar-powered digital model that offers step-tracking.

At the Casio online store in countries like the Netherlands, Spain and Germany, you can now buy the G-Shock GA-B010-1A (black case/strap, positive display) and GA-B010-3A (khaki case/strap, positive display) watches for €169 each. Customers are offered free delivery in two to three business days.

Casio’s G-Shock GA-B010 features a new module, designed to reduce power consumption compared to the brand’s older step-tracking models. It can operate solely on solar power, automatically counting your steps when movement is detected. You can view your current daily step count in the dedicated indicator in the top right-hand side of the face, or on the inset LCD screen. Plus, if you have been inactive for a period of time, the watch can alert you to encourage you to move.

Thanks to Bluetooth support, users of the G-Shock GA-B010 can view a step log in the Casio Watches app on their phone. Here, you can also access features like phone finder and automatic time adjustments. This model supports world time, and there are on-watch tools like a stopwatch, a timer and daily alarms. The watch has a rugged design, with the Carbon Core Guard structure, and a chunky resin casing and strap. It remains to be seen when these Casio G-Shock GA-B010 watches could be released in North America.
