G-Shock fans in the U.S., the wait is over. After a successful debut in Japan, Casio has officially launched the highly anticipated GM-S2110 series stateside. Two models, the GM-S2110-1A1 and the GM-S2110-1A7, are now available for purchase directly from Casio's U.S. online store, confirming a global rollout and putting an end to the speculation.
Priced at $200 each, these new timepieces represent a refined and more wearable evolution of the beloved "CasiOak" aesthetic, offering the signature octagonal metal look in a decidedly sleeker package.
A Design That Prioritizes Wearability
The headline story for the GM-S2110 line is its scaled-down dimensions. While it carries the distinct DNA of its chunkier predecessors, this new series is designed for everyday comfort. With case measurements of 45.9 × 40.5 × 11.0 mm and a feather-light weight of just 56 grams, it sits noticeably slimmer and more discreetly on the wrist than a full-size metal G-Shock.
The construction follows a trusted formula: a stainless steel bezel provides that premium metallic shine and resilience, while a resin case and bio-based resin strap ensure lightweight durability and a comfortable fit. It's the perfect blend of tough and tailored.
Understated Style with a Modern Twist
Where these models really set themselves apart is on the dial. Both feature a sophisticated crosshatch hairline pattern, a major visual upgrade that adds texture and depth without being overpowering. This isn't a flashy, statement-piece G-Shock; it's built for a more restrained, versatile look.
The two colorways cater to different tastes:
- The GM-S2110-1A1 features a sleek black dial paired with a negative (dark background) digital display, offering a modern, monochromatic vibe.
- The GM-S2110-1A7 opts for a bright silver dial with a positive (light background) digital display, providing classic legibility and a touch of metallic brilliance.

Packed with Proven G-Shock Functionality
Don't let the slender profile fool you—this is a full-blooded G-Shock where it counts. The GM-S2110 series comes loaded with the practical features you expect:
- 200-Meter Water Resistance: Ready for the pool, ocean, or any daily accident.
- Multi-Band 6 Atomic Timekeeping: For automatic radio-wave synchronization and perfect accuracy (in compatible regions).
- Tough Solar Power: No more battery changes; light from any source keeps it running.
- Bluetooth Smartphone Connectivity: Easy time setting, alarm management, and world time adjustments via the G-Shock Connected app.
- Full Suite of Tools: Includes world time for over 40 cities, a 1/100-second stopwatch, countdown timer, five daily alarms, and a full auto-calendar.
The Verdict: Who Are These For?
At $200, the GM-S2110-1A1 and GM-S2110-1A7 hit a sweet spot. They are the answer for enthusiasts who love the iconic metal-bezel G-Shock look but have been waiting for a version that doesn't feel quite as massive on the wrist. They offer a cleaner, more sophisticated take on the formula without sacrificing any of the rugged functionality the brand is famous for.
Whether you're drawn to the stealthy black or the vibrant silver, these new releases prove that G-Shock innovation isn't just about getting tougher—sometimes, it's about getting smarter and more wearable.
