Casio’s G-Shock GM-B2100 lineup—affectionately dubbed the "Metal CasiOak" by enthusiasts—has become a modern icon since its debut, blending the classic GA-2100 silhouette with premium stainless steel construction. Now, fresh leaks suggest Casio is preparing to expand this popular series with new colorways later in 2025, reigniting excitement among watch collectors and casual fans alike.
According to a report from Japanese leak blog G-Shock JP, Casio is quietly developing at least three new variants of the GM-B2100, expected to launch as early as October or November 2025. While official details remain under wraps, insider sources hint that the new models could feature bold, contemporary finishes—possibly including deep matte green, gunmetal gray, and a striking two-tone gold-silver design.
The leak aligns with Casio’s strategy of revitalizing hit models with seasonal color refreshes. The GM-B2100 series, known for its Tough Solar charging, Bluetooth connectivity, and 200-meter water resistance, has maintained strong demand since 2022, making it a prime candidate for expansion. Industry analysts note that new colors could help Casio capitalize on holiday-season sales, especially in markets like Japan, Europe, and North America where the "CasiOak" craze remains strong.

What makes the GM-B2100 stand out? Its hybrid design merges G-Shock’s legendary durability—carbon-reinforced case, shock absorption—with refined aesthetics like a sapphire crystal and polished metal bezel. The rumored new colors would follow recent limited editions (e.g., the all-black "Stealth" model), but aim for broader accessibility. Pricing is expected to stay consistent with current models ($450–$550 USD).
For now, Casio has yet to confirm the leaks. However, if history is any indicator—like 2023’s surprise release of the lavender GM-B2100PD—the brand often leverages such rumors to build anticipation. As noted in GSMGoTech’s deep dive into the GM-B2100’s legacy, "Casio understands the power of scarcity and novelty. New colors aren’t just products; they’re cultural moments."
