Casio Elevates Surf Style with New G-Shock GBX-100S Skeleton Watches Launching in Europe
Durable design meets coastal flair in Casio’s latest wearable tech.
Casio is making waves again with the European launch of its new G-Shock GBX-100S series, a bold lineup of skeleton watches blending surf culture with rugged innovation. Designed for adventurers and style enthusiasts alike, these timepieces promise to deliver Casio’s signature toughness alongside smart features tailored for outdoor lifestyles.
Skeleton Design Meets Ocean Inspiration
The GBX-100S series stands out with its translucent “skeleton” aesthetic, revealing glimpses of the watch’s inner mechanics—a nod to both engineering precision and modern fashion. The design isn’t just about looks; the watches retain G-Shock’s legendary durability, featuring shock resistance, 200-meter water resistance, and a lightweight resin case. Two models lead the charge: the GBX-100S-1 with a smoky gray semi-transparent band and the GBX-100S-2 in an eye-catching navy blue. Explore the full specs of the GBX-100S-1 here and its navy counterpart, the GBX-100S-2, on Casio’s site.
Tech Built for the Waves
Beyond aesthetics, the GBX-100S packs functionality suited for surfers and explorers. Bluetooth connectivity syncs the watch to smartphones via the G-Shock Connected app, enabling custom notifications, fitness tracking, and tide graph updates—an essential tool for catching the perfect wave. Solar-powered charging ensures the watch stays powered even off-grid, while moon phase data and sunrise/sunset times cater to outdoor planning.
“The GBX-100S series is about merging utility with coastal vibes,” says a Casio product manager. “It’s for those who want a watch that keeps up with their adventures without sacrificing style.”
Who’s It For?
While surfers are the obvious audience, the GBX-100S appeals to urban adventurers and tech-savvy trendsetters. The sleek skeleton design transitions effortlessly from beach to city, and features like step tracking and world time zones add everyday practicality.
Availability and Pricing
Slated for release across Europe in late 2024, pricing is expected to align with previous G-Shock Bluetooth models, likely hovering around €200–€250. For an in-depth look at the launch details, check out GSMGoTech’s exclusive coverage.
