CASIO G-SHOCK Japan JULY JULY JULY 2017 New Released watches - first impression

It is time. Lets have a look on this all of them. Just in case you missed it, I also made a video as well covering all these I'm about to say.



This is a screenshot from G-Shock Japan website for all of them. Lets go through each of them by series. I include purchase links as well if you'd like to grab them right away.

This is all that had been announced at for now.





Category 1 : 2017 Denim pattern series
LINKS (Will be available after released date)

Category 2 : 2017 Silver Gold MTG
LINKS (Will be available after released date)

Category 3 : G-Steel Robert Geller collaboration
LINKS (Will be available after released date)


Lets start with the Denim pattern series. When I first look at this, I was like 'oh', That not surprising. I can't find my way around on why they decided to released this same pattern again. We already got this similar released before back in 2015 though in case you missed it.



But now when I look at all of them again, I can now see the tiny difference that each of them have. Besides the older released DENIM already end their production so if you're fan of this released, this is your second chance at getting one I guess?

They did add one GA-100 and also the popular GA-700 series model into the collection though. That is something new. A one lot of people likes 700 series over the GA110 or even GA-100. I just notice the GA-700 indexes have similar color way to all the buttons on most vintage jean outfits though. Pretty cool touch. Same applies to the GA-100 series watch face as well.

The DW-5600 version looks almost similar at a glance but when you compared them side to side I believe this 2017 version seems better than 2016 version mostly because of the light blue display and also it looks cleaner as well.


Overall thoughts? I love to have a look at them but that about it. I don't think I'll be purchasing them to add into my collection at the moment. I get the idea, how Casio would relate themselves to this tough outfits material but I'm just not a big fan.


They will be released in Japan alongside a matching set of Baby-G models. Yeah, its almost like a couple set; somewhere in the middle or at the end of this month.



MOVING ON to the next model which is the MTG



This is just an addition to already existed generic released Metal Twisted G-Shock Category actually. Prior to this, we only have two options from the MTG-S-1000D family which is the all silver or the red and silver. All of them priced the same which 95,000yen + tax and that to me is a good news if you're a fan of this model. If this is indeed will be a generic released, then I believed this newly added gold model will be a very easy to get color way as well.



I'm not a big fan of this as well because I have super skinny wrist. I can pull off a big resin watch like my Gulfmaster though but when we're talking about full steel watch, I don't think I'm up to it. This new model indeed looks more expensive than the others in my opinion.

Talking about steel watches, we also will be getting another full steel G-Shock from G-Steel family. Correct me if I'm wrong, I believe this is the first G-Steel Collaboration model that is out there right? I didn't follow the news when it is about G-Steel. Not a big fan for same reason as why I'm not liking the MTG. I like to have a look at them, hold them, or keep them in possession but I can't see myself wearing one without feeling awkward.



This Robert Geller collaboration watch is pretty cool in my opinion for its simplicity. Instead of adding printed colors on a watch like most collab models, this model just comes with simple black with little gold and purple. This is way better than all G-Steel released I believe especially from the 200 series line-up.


I'm not sure why Casio didn't listed in here but there are other G-Steel model that wasn't been released in Japan like these guys but still none of them look like this special collaboration model.




However, as much as I am liking them, all of these steel model probably haven't grow in me yet I believe and that why I holding myself back from purchasing or reviewing as much as you guys had been requesting and also because I'm running out of funds.

To summarize all things up, I believe my favorite model out of all would be the GST-200RGB Robert Geller collab model only. I was actually hoping they made this collab on the new MINI G-Steel instead though, I'll be all over this if they did.

That is all I got for you today unless Casio G-Shock Japan announce more soon which they most likely will but we'll see.

Thanks for visiting everyone!. CHEERS

In that series order, this will be the new color for the incoming big case Metallic series model.

The bezel of this model was made with a steel metal on top and and a fine resin just below it, they manage to make a new way of watch engine protection mechanism which you know it will brings a lot more possibilities in designing models from this series. I'm guessing they will make a colorful steel watch later on. The other parts of the watch was made in stainless steel and including the face. The arrow of this watch was made with a bright color and it will come with double LED light functions. It is also a Multiband 6 model and also have the tough solar function built in.These basic models will retails at 42,000 Yen without tax.

Finally they will be a new MTG model that was specially made by Casio new steel processing technology called the "Aged Process" where they could literally made the steel to look like it was aged for years. The idea for this new look comes from the men's image of vintage items like oil lighter, classic cars & bike mechanic tools. This is one of the image of a item that could last for years from it tough design. We can see the aged pattern mostly on the watch band. With this new tough spirit, this new MT-G model was born. It comes with a core guard structure, layer composite band, triple G-resistance, while also have the multiband function and tough solar being built in. This special model will retail at 145,000Yen without tax.

G-Shock 2015 - May released models

This is my first reviews for the incoming G-Shock models by Casio Japan that was announce to be released next month.

All the details are listed from Casio G-Shock Japan official websites, everything including each models' retail's prices.

There seems to be 11 models altogether from different type series. Basically there are 2 types of basic series which is the 'White Tricolor Series' and the 'Slash Pattern Series'. Plus there will be 1 collaboration model.

These are the list of the models from the White Tricolor Series :
- Model number & retail prices + tax. Purchase link will be at the bottom of each photos.

AWG-M100TR Tricolor
GA-110TR Tricolor

GA-201TR Tricolor
GW-8900TR Tricolor


GW-M5610TR Tricolor
From the famous tough model, from Casio G-shock, this White Tricolor Series was born base on summer Marine Fashion images.

With a bright white base g-shock from only the famous model as a base, this model will fits with most of our summer look outfits. Expected to match with bright summer look, pair it with a white knit border shirts or some accessories, this model will be a great hit for this incoming seasons.

The combinations of all three vivid colors, White-Red-Blue on the bezel, engraved words, button and other parts of the watch, it will surely fit it's main theme, marine taste.










Next is the Slash Pattern Series :
- Model number & retail price + tax

GA-110 Blue Slash
GA-110 Red Slash


GA-110 Grey Slash
DW-5600 White Slash


DW-5600SL
A street culture design as an expression, this new colorway are now released with the Slash Pattern Series.

This design is mainly to commemorate the slash damaged on the skateboard park, wall and etc.

Also as an image of toughness which the same street sports do have to offer to it's player or in this case it's wearer.

They pick up the famous large size GA-110 as a base model to add more tough image to it, and also make the display screen in negative to give this model a much cooler look from the basic white model.

Same concept also applied to the DW-5600 series which also have the negative display for the cooler look to it's wearer.






Finally, I did mention about one more model that will be this month collaboration model from Casio G-Shock Japan and that model is the big case GD-400HUF-1JR

GD-400HUF earthquake

This is the collaboration model between G-SHOCK & year 2002 ProSkater, Keith Hufnagel. This model was design from the man himself on a black GD-400 model base. I'll go further detail about this specifically on this model after it was released later on a different post.  Until then, here is the link for you guys to check about all the models that I had listed here,
