New Casio G-Steel GST-B1000 watches surface in first hands-on images after launch
Real‑world photos of the newly unveiled Casio GST‑B1000 (courtesy of @geesgshock on Instagram) show a slimmer, fully metal G‑Steel with an all‑analog dial, backing earlier reporting of a 46.9 × 44.2 × 11.6 mm case, 118 g weight, Tough Solar, Bluetooth, and a three‑color launch in black, blue, and green at around ¥66,000 in Japan with a November rollout and early EU pre‑orders near €399. We charted the leak‑to‑listing arc for months prior to launch - the B1000 is a refined four‑digit flagship that trims bulk from the G-Steel series while keeping 20‑bar toughness and other key features.
The IRL images do the heavy lifting. The octagon‑leaning bezel shows alternating straight and circular hairline brushing with mirror edges, and the bezel is logo‑less. The minimalist metal aesthetic suits the watch design quite well. Case flanks look tightly machined around low‑profile pushers and crown guards, visually validating the 11.6 mm thickness claim that sets this apart from older, chunkier G‑Steel references. The stainless bracelet looks to be newly engineered as well: narrower, with solid links and crisp transitions between brushed faces and polished reliefs.
Dial furniture stands out under harsh lighting - applied indices with polished facets and lume, elongated sword hands, and a horizontal "brick" texture that renders almost differently on each colorway, with blue showing the highest contrast and green delivering the most amount of depth. The 4 o’clock beveled date and the 24‑hour register at ~3 o’clock sit cleanly, while the left subdial carries AL/TR markings consistent with the analog mode set showcased in earlier leaks and launch reporting.
Taken together, these images do a good job of reinforcing the B1000’s pitch: MT‑G‑adjacent finishing and wearability at a lower tier, keeping Tough Solar, Bluetooth time sync, and LED illumination. All three models are now available to pre-order in Japan and Europe, and while the exact availability date is still undisclosed, we can expect the same to be revealed in November itself.
In the meantime, you can check out the Casio GST-B100-1ACR on Amazon.
