Get ready, watch enthusiasts and tech innovators. The future of wearable tech is shrinking, and it’s landing on European shores this November. Casio has officially broken the news: the revolutionary, ring-sized G-Shock Nano DWN-5600 series is confirmed for a European release, bringing its indestructible charm to a whole new audience.
For months, fans have watched with envy as Casio unveiled this miniature marvel for the Japanese market, with a North American release also in the pipeline. Now, the wait is almost over. Spotted on official Casio websites across the region, from the Netherlands to France and Germany, the G-Shock Nano is no longer a distant dream but a soon-to-be-reality.
Price, Release Date, and How to Get One
So, what’s the damage, and when can you get your hands on one? The European Recommended Retail Price (RRP) has been set at €99.90, positioning it as an accessible piece of groundbreaking technology. The launch window is currently set for November 2025, though Casio is keeping the exact day under wraps for now.
However, there’s a crucial catch that prospective buyers need to know: the G-Shock Nano will be an exclusive release for Casio ID members. The good news? Signing up for a Casio ID is completely free and can be done directly on the Casio website. This membership not only grants you access to purchase the watch but also allows you to register for an email notification the moment the device launches, ensuring you don’t miss out on what is sure to be a high-demand product.
A Legend, Miniaturized: What is the G-Shock Nano?
You might be wondering, what exactly is the G-Shock Nano? In the simplest terms, it’s a radical downsizing of an icon. The model is a direct, miniature descendant of the legendary DW-5600, a watch revered for its square, utilitarian design and near-indestructible build quality that defined the G-Shock brand for decades.
But the numbers behind this miniaturization are staggering. The G-Shock Nano is a mere 1/10th the size of its predecessor, with compact dimensions of 23.4 × 20 × 7.5 mm. This isn't just a small watch; it's a device designed to be worn comfortably on your finger, blurring the lines between timekeeping and jewellery.
Don’t let its size fool you. Casio has packed a surprising number of features into this tiny resin casing. It supports dual time zones, perfect for travellers, and includes a precise 1/100th second stopwatch. It also boasts hourly time signals and an LED backlight to illuminate the digital display in low-light conditions. Staying true to its G-Shock DNA, it offers a formidable 200 meters of water resistance, making it immune to rain, showers, and even serious depth. Casio also confirms the battery is user-replaceable and will last for approximately two years.

Colour Choices and Final Thoughts
European customers will be treated to the same trio of vibrant colour options that debuted in Japan. The lineup includes:
- DWN-5600-1: The quintessential and stealthy Black.
- DWN-5600-4: A bold and energetic Red.
- DWN-5600-9: A bright and unmissable Yellow.
While the European and Japanese releases are now clear, the timeline for the United States remains slightly murky, with US-specific pricing and a release date yet to be announced.
The arrival of the G-Shock Nano in Europe marks a significant moment. It’s more than just a new product; it’s a statement. Casio is once again pushing the boundaries of what a watch can be, proving that toughness and innovation aren’t constrained by size. This November, the power of G-Shock will literally be at your fingertips.
