Casio’s new G-Shock x Pokémon watch is obtainable right now – this is purchase it

Pokémon turns 30 this yr, and Casio’s marking the event in one of the simplest ways (in my view) attainable: a chunky, vibrant G-Shock.

The G-Shock x Pokémon GA-110PKM-7A watch is out right now, and it’s packed totally of enjoyable little Pokémon easter eggs.

Casio’s taken the traditional GA-110 case and dressed it in pink, blue, and inexperienced. That’s the identical color palette from Pokémon’s authentic 1996 Gameboy launch (I had Blue).

It’s a intelligent little bit of nostalgia. These three colors are burned into the mind of anybody who grew up with a Recreation Boy Color.

The enjoyable continues at 9 o’clock, the place an inset dial is formed like a Poké Ball. Its indicator hand is styled after Pikachu.

I like a watch that doesn’t take itself too severely, and this one completely doesn’t do this.

The true enjoyable is onthe strap, nonetheless. Casio’s squeezed 30 Pokémon onto the band, one for yearly of the franchise.

You get three first companion Pokémon from every technology, operating from Kanto proper by way of to Paldea. Add Pikachu and Eevee, and that’s 29 sorted.

Mew, the Legendary Pokémon that debuted in 1996, lands the ultimate spot on the band loop.

Flip the watch over and there’s a particular Thirtieth-anniversary Pokémon brand engraved on the case again, however strip away the theming, and it’s nonetheless very a lot a G-Shock beneath.

You’re taking a look at shock resistance, 20-bar water resistance, world time throughout 48 cities, a 1/1000-second stopwatch, a countdown timer, 5 day by day alarms, and auto LED lighting.

It measures 55 x 51.2 x 16.9mm and weighs 72g, so it wears with the identical chunky presence as every other GA-110.

The standout characteristic, although, for me, is the field. It’s formed like a Pokéball, with all 30 Pokémon printed inside.

Now, the bit you really got here for: purchase it.
