G-Shock G-STEEL GST-W130: GST-W130BC, GST-W130C, GST-W330C


Another G-Shock G-STEEL series is coming to Japan in May 2018. The distinguishing feature of the new G-STEEL GST-W130 models is a hybrid band combining the Tough Leather synthetic band (first seen in other G-STEEL models) with Cordura nylon fabric. These models also have Tough Solar power and Multi-Band 6 radio timekeeping.

The GST-W130BC models have a black IP treatment on the stainless steel body along with a resin bezel with a grip pattern. This textured bezel gives the watch the look and feel of rugged outdoor gear. The unique design combined with the hybrid band gives the watch a strong tactical and military feeling. The GST-W130BC-1AJF has an orange logo and accents with a black band and the GST-W130BC-1A3JF has a white logo and accents with a green band. List price is ¥46,000 JPY each.

G-Shock GMW-B5000-1 with resin band and reverse LCD




Casio is adding another model to the full metal GMW-B5000 series. The GMW-B5000-1 features the same silver stainless steel bezel as the GMW-B5000D-1 but has a black resin band and a reverse LCD display. The GMW-B5000-1 is expected to cost less than the $500 GMW-B5000D-1. The GMW-B5000-1JF is scheduled to be released in Japan in June 2018.

The GMW-B5000, the first 5000-series G-Shock with a full-metal exterior, will debut in April 2018 with the silver GMW-B5000D-1 and limited edition GMW-B5000TFG-9 with gold IP. Major features include a stainless steel inner case, screw-lock case back, Tough Solar, Multi-Band 6, and Bluetooth connectivity. The solar panel on the face has a brick-like pattern as a tribute to the original G-Shock DW-5000C.

Casio added two new series to the Pro Trek lineup in Japan for March 2018. The PRG-330 is an update to the budget slimline PRG-300 series and adds an aluminum bezel. The PRW-6600 series has a similar design as the safari-inspired PRG-600 and PRG-650 series and adds Multi-Band 6 radio time-syncing.
Debut models for the PRG-330 series include three basic colorways with the black PRG-330-1JF, pink PRG-330-4JF, and white PRG-330-7JF. Like the PRG-300 series these models feature Tough Solar power and the Triple Sensor Version 3 with altimeter-barometer, compass, and thermometer. Other features include 100-meter water resistance, low temperature resistance (-10 °C/14 °F), world time, sunrise/sunset data, 1/10 second stopwatch (1,000 hours total, with split), countdown timer (24 hours), 4 alarms and 1 snooze alarm, and full auto Super Illuminator LED light. List price is ¥26,000 JPY each.




Debut models for the PRW-6600 series include the black and green PRW-6600Y-1JF with silicone band, black and orange PRW-6600YB-3JF with green khaki cloth band, and PRW-6600YBE-5JR which includes both a beige cloth band and a dual-layer silicone band with a luminescent inner layer (a feature also seen in some PRG-650 models). These models have a gray ion-plated stainless steel bezel along with Tough Solar, Multi-Band 6, and the Triple Sensor Version 3. Like the PRG-600 series they have full auto dual LED lights with the Neon Illuminator LED blacklight for the hands and markers and the Super Illuminator LED for the LCD display. Other features include 100-meter water resistance, low temperature resistance (-10 °C/14 °F), 1/100 second stopwatch (24 hour total with split), countdown timer (60 minutes), and 5 alarms. (One feature that the PRG-600/650 is known for, the STN LCD display, has not been confirmed yet.) List price is ¥52,000 JPY for the PRW-6600Y-1JF and PRW-6600YB-3JF and ¥55,000 JPY for the PRW-6600YBE-5JR.

Tahun 2017, tidak banyak model kolaberasi atau limited yang di hasil kan untuk model MUDMASTER. Tahun 2018 ini, saya rasa kan lebih banyak model kolaberasi limited edition yang akan di hasilkan. Kali ini, TOYOTA, iaitu syarikat kereta japan telah bekerjasama dengan Casio untuk menghasil kan jam "Team Land Cruiser Toyota Auto Body x G-Shock GG-1000TLC-1AJR Mudmaster" yang akan berada di pasaran pada bulan Mac 2018 ini. Kombinasi waran BIRU, MERAH, HITAM dan PUTIH sangat menarik. Dengan LOGO "TLC" merah yang ada pada muka jam, ia menambah kan lagi kecantikan pada jam mudmaster ini.

Model ini akan di keluar kan pada bulan Mac 2018 di Amerika Utara pada harga $380 USD dan ia juga akan berada di pasaran JAPAN pada bulan Mac 2018. Anggaran dalam Ringgit Malaysia adalah RM1558.
