For fitness enthusiasts and tech-savvy watch lovers, the wait is over. Casio has officially launched the latest additions to its rugged G-Shock Move lineup, the GBD200-1A1 and GBD200-7, for the US market. Blending the brand's legendary toughness with smart fitness tracking and a significant display upgrade, these watches are poised to become a new favorite for active lifestyles.
Following their official unveiling in Japan back in October 2025 and a subsequent release across the EU, American consumers can now get their hands on these modern timepieces directly from the source.
US Availability and Pricing
You can now purchase the new G-Shock Move models directly from the Casio Online Store. The GBD200-1A1, featuring a sleek black resin case with vibrant orange accents, and the GBD200-7, a crisp white model with dark green accents, are both priced at $165.
While currently available through Casio, it’s highly likely these models will soon appear on the brand’s official Amazon storefront, following the pattern of older Move series watches like the DW-H5600-7. For the latest updates on Amazon availability, it's a good idea to keep an eye on their G-Shock collection on Amazon.
The Standout Upgrade: A Game-Changing Display
The most significant advancement in the GBD200 series, and the feature that truly sets it apart from its predecessors, is the new positive MIP (Memory-in-Pixel) display.
Previous models often utilized a negative display, which features light-colored text on a dark background. While stylish, these can sometimes be harder to read at a glance, especially in low-light conditions without a backlight. Casio has flipped the script with the GBD200.
The new positive MIP display offers a light background with dark text and data, dramatically improving legibility. According to Casio, this design choice was made specifically to make the watch easier to read during intense activities like running or cycling, when a quick glance is essential. This focus on usability ensures that your metrics are always clear, allowing you to stay focused on your performance.

Built Tough, Packed with Features
Staying true to the G-Shock DNA, these watches are built to withstand the rigors of any workout. The resin construction measures a compact 48.4 x 45.9 x 15.0 mm, offering a robust yet comfortable fit on the wrist.
Beyond the tough exterior lies a capable fitness companion. The G-Shock Move GBD200 is equipped with comprehensive activity tracking, monitoring key metrics such as:
- Speed and Pace
- Lap Times
- Calorie Burn
One of the smartest features is its ability to leverage your smartphone's GPS. By connecting to your phone via Bluetooth, the watch can provide highly accurate distance calculations for your runs or rides without draining its own battery with built-in GPS.
Additional practical features include support for multiple world time zones, a precise 1-second stopwatch, a customizable countdown timer, and four daily alarms—making it as useful in your daily life as it is during your training sessions.
A Global Rollout Continues
While US and EU fans can now purchase the GBD200, the global release continues. For customers in the United Kingdom, an official release date is still pending confirmation, though industry whispers suggest a potential launch window is set for November 2025.
With their enhanced readability, robust feature set, and accessible price point, the new Casio G-Shock Move GBD200 watches represent a compelling option for anyone looking to bridge the gap between a dedicated fitness tracker and an indestructible everyday watch.
