| Casio Green Face series |
If there is one thing Casio knows how to do better than almost anyone else in the watch industry, it is delivering serious wrist presence without requiring a serious budget. This month, the Japanese electronics giant is proving that point yet again with the quiet launch of a dedicated Green Face series.
After briefly appearing as a phantom listing on Casio’s international site earlier in February, the new trilogy is now officially available—and surprisingly, they aren’t limited editions. Spanning digital classics, rugged analog tool watches, and hybrid analog-digital innovators, this trio proves that green is very much the color of the season.
Here is everything you need to know about the Casio Green Face collection, including full specs, pricing, and where to buy them right now.
A Palette Shift: Why Green is Having a Moment
For decades, watch enthusiasts have worshiped at the altar of black, blue, and silver dials. But over the last three years, green has emerged as the unexpected star of both luxury and affordable watchmaking. From H. Moser & Cie’s electric fumés to the Rolex “Hulk” and “Starbucks” Submariners, green commands attention.
Casio, however, isn’t simply following trends. With this new series, the brand is making green accessible to the masses—staying true to its core mission of democratizing cool.

Casio W-218HD-3AV: The Stainless Steel Stunner (£29)
At first glance, the Casio W-218HD-3AV looks like the love child of the legendary F-91W and a high-end bracelet watch—and that is a very good thing.
This model features a classic square case reminiscent of the 80s golden era, but with a distinctly modern twist. The negative display (white text on a stark black background) is accented with subtle green highlights that catch the light without screaming for attention.
Key Specs:
- Case Material: Resin with stainless steel band
- Display: Negative LCD with green accents
- Light: LED backlight (unique to this model in the series)
- Battery: CR2016 with 7-year lifespan
- Water Resistance: 50 meters
- Price: £29
This is the only watch in the new lineup to feature a metal bracelet at this sub-£30 price point, making it an immediate value champion. Whether you are dressing up for a meeting or keeping it casual, the W-218HD-3AV offers the durability of steel with the lightweight comfort Casio is famous for.
Casio MRW-210H-3BV: The Sporty Diver Adjacent (£39)
If your wrist leans toward the analog side of the spectrum, the Casio MRW-210H-3BV is likely your pick of the litter. Casio has taken a very clear “marine” inspiration here, offering a deep green sunburst dial that shifts shade depending on the light.
Key Specs:
- Movement: Analog quartz
- Bezel: Unidirectional rotating timer bezel
- Dial: Green with day/date window at 3 o’clock
- Band: Black resin
- Battery: SR927SW (3 years)
- Water Resistance: 100 meters
- Price: £39
While this isn't a dedicated ISO diver, the 100m water resistance and the timing bezel make it perfectly capable for swimming, snorkeling, or surviving a surprise rainstorm. It competes directly with Seiko’s entry-level divers but at roughly half the price.
Casio AEQ-110W-3A2V: The Telememo Titan (£50)
Topping out the range at £50, the Casio AEQ-110W-3A2V is a fascinating hybrid that feels plucked straight out of 1999—in the best way possible.
This watch features a dual-display layout: two analog hands for hours and minutes, paired with two digital sub-dials that pack a staggering amount of data. We’re talking month, date, day, seconds, and AM/PM indicator.
Key Specs:
- Display: Analog/Digital hybrid
- Data Bank: Telememo (30 records)
- World Time: 30 cities
- Alarms: 3 daily + hourly chime
- Stopwatch: 1/100 sec
- Countdown Timer: Yes
- Auto-Calendar: Yes
- Battery: CR2025 with 10-year lifespan
- Price: £50
The Telememo feature is the real headline here. In an era where we are glued to smartphones, there is something refreshingly retro about storing phone numbers directly on your wrist. It’s a niche feature, sure, but one that die-hard Casio collectors absolutely adore.

Availability: Who Can Buy One Right Now?
Here is the fine print: Casio has not yet announced a US release date.
As of now, the Green Face series is exclusively available via Casio UK. All three models are listed as “in stock” and ready to ship directly from the official store.
Given that Casio frequently uses UK and European launches as a testbed for global releases, we anticipate these models will hit US shores (and other international markets) within the next 4–6 weeks. However, given that these are standard catalog models rather than limited editions, there is no immediate rush—though early demand has reportedly been strong.
Final Verdict: Is The Green Face Series Worth It?
In a word: Yes.
Casio hasn't reinvented the wheel here—and they don't need to. What they have done is execute a cohesive, attractive color story across three very different wristwatch archetypes. Whether you are a student looking for a £29 daily beater, a runner needing 100m water resistance, or a data-obsessive who misses the Y2K era, there is a green Casio waiting for you.
Our Pick: The AEQ-110W-3A2V. For £50, you get a decade of battery life, world time, and a data bank feature you literally cannot find on any new smartwatch. It’s weird, useful, and undeniably cool.
