| Four out of these six Casio camo watches are now live on sale in the US. |
The iconic watchmaker expands its legendary lineup with an aggressive new camouflage series featuring gold accents and a free gift with every purchase.
Casio's G-Shock has built a reputation for creating virtually indestructible timepieces, but the Japanese brand knows that durability alone isn't enough to capture the attention of modern watch enthusiasts. The latest collection from the G-Shock stable proves this perfectly, combining the brand's legendary toughness with a striking visual identity that demands attention.
The G-Shock Bold Camo collection has officially landed on US shores, and it's generating serious buzz among watch collectors and casual wearers alike. Four distinct models make up this rugged lineup, each sporting an original camouflage pattern that cleverly integrates the iconic G-mark into the design—a subtle nod to the brand's heritage that only eagle-eyed fans will spot immediately.
A Collection for Every Wrist and Budget
The beauty of the Bold Camo series lies in its variety. Rather than releasing a single watch with a new finish, Casio has treated four different silhouettes to the camouflage treatment, ensuring there's something for every taste and budget.
DW6900CMG-3 ($145) – The Entry Point
For those looking to dip their toes into the Bold Camo waters without breaking the bank, the DW6900CMG-3 offers exceptional value. This model keeps things fully camo with both the resin bezel and band receiving the green camouflage treatment. Beneath the rugged exterior lies a gold dial that adds a touch of luxury to the military-inspired design. At $145, it's the most accessible entry point into this collection.
GA700CMG-3A ($165) – Bigger and Bolder
Stepping up the ladder brings us to the GA700CMG-3A, which introduces the larger analog-digital 700 case into the mix. The camo bezel and band remain, but the dial receives a premium upgrade with gold vapor deposition for a metallic finish that catches the light beautifully. At $165, it offers more wrist presence for a modest price increase.
GAV01CMG-3A ($210) – The Collector's Choice
Perhaps the most intriguing model in the lineup is the GAV01CMG-3A. This represents the first time the GA-V01 model has appeared alongside non-GA-V01 models in a color series—a fact that won't be lost on dedicated G-Shock collectors. The camo band treatment ties it into the collection, but the distinct case design sets it apart from its siblings.
GM6900CMG-3 ($280) – The Premium Flagship
Topping the range is the GM6900CMG-3, a model that justifies its higher price tag through exceptional finishing. This variant steps up to a gold ion-plated stainless-steel bezel finished with multiple polishing techniques and partial laser etching of the camouflage pattern. It's the kind of detail work that separates a good watch from a great one, and at $280, it represents serious value for a watch with this level of craftsmanship.
Free Gift with Purchase
As an added incentive for early adopters, Casio is including a free G-Shock Camo Pouch with every purchase from the collection. It's a practical addition that extends the camouflage aesthetic beyond the watch itself.
Technical Specifications and Performance
While the Bold Camo collection is visually striking, it's worth remembering that these are G-Shocks at their core—watches built to withstand almost anything you can throw at them. All four models share the standard G-Shock spec sheet that has made the brand legendary:
- 200-meter water resistance – Suitable for professional marine activity and serious water sports
- Stopwatch – Essential for timing everything from workouts to cooking
- Countdown timer – Perfect for interval training or timing tasks
- Daily alarm – Never miss an appointment again
- Hourly time signal – A traditional feature that some users love
- Auto-calendar – Pre-set until the year 2099
The GA700CMG-3A and GAV01CMG-3A sweeten the deal with world time functionality, making them excellent choices for frequent travelers or those who work across time zones.
Battery Life That Keeps Ticking
Casio has long been known for exceptional battery life, and this collection continues that tradition. The DW6900CMG-3, GA700CMG-3A, and GM6900CMG-3 all offer approximately five years of battery life under typical usage conditions. The GAV01CMG-3A goes even further, stretching to around ten years—a remarkable figure that means you'll likely forget the watch even needs a battery.
