| Casio’s Star Wars G-Shock collab finally lands in the UK |
If you’ve been patiently waiting for Casio’s galactic collaboration with Star Wars: The Mandalorian & Grogu to land on British soil, the wait is officially over. Following its global launch earlier this month, the Japanese watchmaker has quietly made both limited-edition timepieces available for purchase in the UK – and they’re already turning heads among franchise fans and G-Shock collectors alike.
The two‑watch lineup celebrates the galaxy’s most unlikely (and beloved) father‑son duo ahead of the upcoming film’s theatrical release on May 22. But while you might expect an explosion of lightsaber stripes and X‑wing silhouettes, Casio has taken a refreshingly restrained approach – letting the colour stories and materials do the talking.
Meet the duo: Beskar armour meets Grogu green
The collection consists of two distinct models, each tailored to a different wrist size and design philosophy.
The GM-2100-1AER-MAN (G‑Steel) – priced at £179.00 – is the headliner. Built around Casio’s iconic octagonal “CasiOak” silhouette, this one swaps resin for a metal‑clad finish that immediately evokes Din Djarin’s Beskar armour. The brushed silver bezel, matte black dial, and subtle industrial texture give it a rugged, battle‑ready aesthetic without screaming “movie prop”. Under the hood, you get the shock‑resistant Core Guard structure, 200 metres of water resistance, and a claimed three‑year battery life. It’s a proper everyday tool watch that just happens to share DNA with a bounty hunter.
The BA-100YK-3A-MAN (Baby‑G) – at £99.90 – takes a more playful turn. This smaller, streamlined model wraps Grogu’s signature forest‑green colour across the bezel, strap, and dial accents. Despite its compact size, it still packs Baby‑G toughness: 100 metres water resistance, world time functionality, and a two‑year battery. It’s the perfect choice for younger fans, smaller wrists, or anyone who prefers their Star Wars references a little more… adorable.
A clever (and collectible) surprise in the box
Where Casio could have plastered mythosaur skulls and rebel insignias all over the dials, they instead saved the genuine Easter egg for the packaging. Both watches ship with a magnetic Bounty Hunter ID Card Watch Stand – a flat, character‑specific card that folds into a rigid 3D display stand via integrated magnets. It’s a genuinely clever bit of design: flat for storage, pop it into shape to show off your watch on a desk or shelf. The card even features a custom ID card graphic, adding that extra layer of in‑universe flavour that fans will appreciate.
How does it compare to Citizen’s $1,500 Mandalorian watch?
Casio isn’t the only brand hunting for Star Wars credits. Late last month, Citizen dropped the Attesa x The Mandalorian – a far more expensive (£1,200+ / $1,500) titanium chronograph packed with hardcore references: a mythosaur emblem on the crown, helmet etchings on the case back, and a bespoke box that looks like a carbonite slab. It’s unapologetically nerdy, beautifully made, and priced for serious collectors.
By contrast, the Casio duo feels subtly subdued. There are no hidden insignias on the dial, no laser‑etched character portraits, no “This is the Way” engraved on the clasp. If you didn’t know the watches were Star Wars‑themed, you might mistake the G‑Steel for a standard GM-2100 and the Baby‑G for a regular green BA‑100. For some fans, that’s a missed opportunity. For others – especially those who want a wearable watch rather than a display‑case conversation piece – it’s a feature, not a bug.
Where to buy in the UK (and why you shouldn’t wait)
Both models are now live on Casio UK’s official online store. You can grab the Mandalorian‑inspired G‑Steel and the Grogu Baby‑G directly from the source at the prices above. For those ready to check out the Beskar‑clad GM‑2100, you can here.
Given the track record of G‑Shock x Star Wars collaborations (previous R2‑D2 and Darth Vader models sold out fast), it’s likely these won’t linger on shelves – especially with the film’s May 22 premiere looming. Whether you’re a daily G‑Shock wearer, a Baby‑G fan, or just looking for a subtly nerdy gift for the Star Wars lover in your life, this duo offers genuine value at two very accessible price points.
Final verdict: The Casio Mandalorian and Grogu collection won’t win any “most detailed Easter egg” awards, but that’s also its strength. These are first and foremost tough, reliable, well‑priced Casio watches – with just enough galaxy‑far‑far‑away magic to make you smile every time you check the time. And that magnetic ID card stand? Pure class.
Both models are available now on Casio UK’s website. Shipping and returns follow standard UK terms.
