Shop G-SHOCK by Series
Different G-SHOCK families are built around different priorities. Some focus on outdoor use and sensors, while others emphasize metal construction, connectivity, compact design, or premium materials.
G-SHOCK 2100 Series: Octagonal Analog-Digital and Full-Metal Styles
The G-SHOCK 2100 family is one of the largest groups currently available in this category.
These watches use the recognizable octagonal case shape sometimes nicknamed the “CasiOak” by watch enthusiasts. The current selection includes models with combinations of resin, steel, and full-metal construction.
The 2100 range gives shoppers several steps within the same basic design language. Some models use resin straps and steel case components, while the GM-2110D and GM-B2100 lines move toward a more metal-focused appearance. Select GM-B2100 models also add Bluetooth connectivity and world-time functions.
At the upper end of the 2100 family, current GMC-B2100 models, according to the product listings, add features such as solar charging and radio-controlled timekeeping.
For shoppers who want a G-SHOCK full metal look without moving into the MT-G or MR-G price tier, the 2100 family is a logical place to start.
G-SHOCK Mudmaster for Outdoor Use
The G-SHOCK Mudmaster line is aimed at buyers who want a larger outdoor-oriented watch with added sensor functions and rugged case construction.
Current Mudmaster models include members of the GG-1000, GG-B100, and GWG-2000 families. Depending on the reference, features may include twin-sensor or quad-sensor systems, Carbon Core Guard construction, world time, LED illumination, and resin bands in olive, beige, and green.
Sensor packages vary by model, so compare the individual listings carefully if compass, temperature, altitude, or barometric information matters for your use case.
For shoppers searching for a Casio G-SHOCK Mudmaster men's quartz watch, this series is the most relevant part of the collection for outdoor work, travel, field use, and situations where a larger, more rugged watch is preferred.
G-STEEL Watches
A G-STEEL watch sits between traditional resin G-SHOCK models and Casio's higher-priced full-metal lines.
The current GST-B100 selection combines steel-focused case construction with analog-digital or chronograph styling. Select versions include solar power and Bluetooth connectivity, while the steel exterior gives the watches a more polished appearance than many resin G-SHOCK models.
G-STEEL can suit buyers who want G-SHOCK styling and durability but prefer a metal-heavy design for work, travel, or everyday wear.
It is also worth separating G-STEEL from full-metal G-SHOCK. G-STEEL generally combines metal exterior elements with other materials in the case, while full-metal lines use metal construction more extensively throughout the case and bracelet.
Full-Metal GMW-B5000
The GMW-B5000 takes the classic square G-SHOCK shape and reframes it in stainless steel.
The current model combines a digital display with Tough Solar charging, Bluetooth connectivity, and world-time functionality. It keeps the familiar square profile associated with Casio's early digital G-SHOCK designs while giving the case and bracelet a more substantial metal finish.
For buyers who prefer digital G-SHOCK watches but want something more refined than a standard resin model, the GMW-B5000 offers a distinct middle ground between classic digital styling and premium materials.
Everyday Resin G-SHOCK Models
Not every G-SHOCK buyer needs metal construction, sensors, or smartphone connectivity.
Models such as the GA-010 and GA-700 focus on practical everyday use, with resin cases, large analog-digital displays, alarms, world-time functions, and LED illumination, depending on the reference.
These models sit toward the more accessible end of the current collection. They can be a good starting point for shoppers who want a recognizable G-SHOCK design without paying for higher-tier case materials or connectivity features.
Premium G-SHOCK: MT-G and MR-G
At the top of the current G-SHOCK selection are MT-G and MR-G.
The MT-G model currently listed uses a 45 mm stainless-steel case and combines Tough Solar, Bluetooth connectivity, and radio-controlled timekeeping.
MR-G moves further into premium construction. The current MRG-B5000 uses a hand-finished titanium square case, sapphire crystal, and radio-controlled timekeeping. It takes the square G-SHOCK format into a very different price and materials category from standard resin or steel models.
These watches are aimed at buyers who want G-SHOCK technology and styling with more expensive materials, finishing, and construction.
Women's G-SHOCK and Casio Enticer
The current category also includes options for women looking for Casio watches.
The women’s G-SHOCK selection includes a GM-S5600 digital model with a rose-gold-tone metal case and black strap. Its smaller format offers an alternative to larger men’s G-SHOCK cases while retaining the square digital design.
The Casio Enticer is different. It is not a G-SHOCK. The current Enticer model is a traditional women's analog quartz watch with a gold-tone stainless-steel appearance and dress-oriented styling.
