Casio just dropped a fresh lineup of metallic G-Shockwatches, giving four of its most iconic models a bold silver-and-red upgrade—and they look far more expensive than their sub-$300 price tags suggest. The new Fine Metallic series refreshes fan favorite watches like the GM5600 and GM2100 with polished steel bezels, rugged durability, and street-ready style that stands out instantly.
Each watch’s shock-resistant, resin case is capped with a stainless-steel bezel polished in separate hairline and mirror finishes to elevate the G-Shocks’ street style with a silvery shine. Red accents and LED screens give the quartet both flair and visual dynamism, while adding legibility.

G-Shock aficionados can choose from O.G. design of the GM5600, the perpetually trendy GM6900, the oversized GM110 style, or the analog-digital hybrid GM2100. Each piece in the line comes on a band made from silicone for soft, supple comfort. A urethane film across the top of the strap bolsters abrasion resistance while underneath the transparent urethane, a silver vapor deposition finish creates a visual synergy with the metal bezel and an integrated look and feel.

All four watches provide G-Shock's shock-resistant structure, 200 meters of water resistance, world time across 48 time zones, 12- and 24-hour formats, a 1/100-second stopwatch, a countdown timer, five daily alarms, an auto LED light, a flash alert and a fully automatic calendar. The watches’ quartz digital movements are accurate to ±15 seconds per month and its CR2016 battery should last around five years before a replacement is required.
The fine metal collection is available now at gshock.com. The GM5600YRA-8 and the GM6900YRA-8 each retail for $270, while both the GM110YRA-8A and the GM2100YRA-8 will set you back $290 a piece.
