If you’ve been waiting for the perfect blend of rugged G-Shock toughness, smart functionality, and the convenience of solar power, your patience is about to be rewarded. Casio has officially confirmed the UK release of its highly anticipated G-Shock GA-B010 series, a new line of hybrid watches designed for the modern, active lifestyle.
Rumoured earlier in 2025 and recently launched for pre-order in Japan, these timepieces are now poised to hit the British market, bringing a suite of impressive features to the wrists of gadget lovers and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
UK Availability, Models, and Pricing
For UK customers eager to get their hands on one, Casio has now listed all three models on its official UK online store. The lineup includes:
- GA-B010-1A: A classic black case with a legible positive display.
- GA-B010-1A1: A sleek black case with a modern negative display for a more stealthy look.
- GA-B010-3A: A khaki-coloured case with a positive display, offering a distinct, military-inspired aesthetic.
Each model carries a recommended retail price (RRP) of £139, positioning it as an accessible yet feature-packed entry into the G-Shock ecosystem. The official release window is set for November 2025. While an exact date is yet to be confirmed, you can ensure you don't miss out by visiting the product page and using the “Available soon - sign up now” button to register for an instant email notification upon launch.

More Than Just a Timepiece: A Connected Fitness Companion
The GA-B010 isn't just another tough watch; it's a smart, connected hub for your daily activity. As a hybrid, it masterfully combines the timeless appeal of two analog hands with a smaller, multifunctional digital display. A unique dial on the face is dedicated to tracking your progress towards a daily step goal, providing a clear, at-a-glance view of your fitness progress.
Step tracking is a core function, with features like step reminders to keep you moving and a detailed data log available through the dedicated Casio Watches smartphone app. This connectivity is powered by Bluetooth, which also enables other handy tools such as automatic time adjustment—so you’re always perfectly in sync—and a convenient phone finder feature.
Built to Endure: Tough Solar and 200M Water Resistance
True to the G-Shock legacy, the GA-B010 is built to withstand the elements. The case is constructed from a robust combination of carbon and resin, making it incredibly shock-resistant and lightweight. It comes fitted with a durable resin band designed for all-day comfort and activity.
Perhaps the most significant upgrade in this series is the inclusion of Tough Solar charging. This means the watch converts not just sunlight but also light from fluorescent lamps and other sources into power, significantly reducing the need for battery changes and ensuring your watch is always ready for adventure.
Couple this with a formidable 200-meter water resistance rating, and you have a watch that is as comfortable diving and swimming as it is tracking your steps on a hike or surviving the daily grind.
A World of Features on Your Wrist
Beyond its core fitness and connectivity specs, the GA-B010 is packed with the utility G-Shock fans have come to expect. It supports comprehensive world time for 55 cities, a countdown timer, hourly time signals, a precise 1/100th second stopwatch, and five daily alarms. It’s a truly global tool watch ready for any challenge.
With its confirmed UK arrival, the G-Shock GA-B010 series is set to become a new favourite. The combination of solar power, Bluetooth connectivity, and classic G-Shock resilience at a £139 price point makes it a compelling proposition. For now, its wider release across Europe and North America remains unconfirmed, making this a timely exclusive for UK watch fans.
