Casio's G-Shock turns your wrist into a Poké Ball for Pokémon's 30th anniversary

Casio is celebrating 30 years of Pokémon with a G-Shock that buries the Easter eggs deep. The GA-110PKM-7A takes the big-faced GA-110 silhouette and wraps it in translucent resin with a white core, but the real story is in the details.

The design pulls directly from the 1996 Game Boy originals — Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue. Red, blue, and green accents run through the face, hands, buttons, and bezel, matching the cartridge colors anyone who played the originals will recognize immediately.

Look closer at the 9 o’clock sub-dial. It’s shaped like a Poké Ball, and the hand inside is a silhouette of Pikachu from behind — tail and all. At 3 o’clock, the Pokémon logo sits stamped into the dial. These are the kind of design choices that reward a second glance rather than screaming for attention.

The strap is where Casio went all in. Printed across it are all 29 starter Pokémon from Kanto through Paldea — every regional “first partner” — plus Pikachu and Eevee. The keeper loop carries Mew, bringing the total to exactly 30 Pokémon for the 30th anniversary. The stainless steel case back gets an engraved 30th-anniversary emblem.

It comes in a Poké Ball-shaped storage case, with the outer box printed with all 30 Pokémon.

None of this means Casio skimped on the hardware. The watch keeps G-Shock’s core specs: shock resistance, 200 meters of water resistance, world time, and LED illumination. It’s a collector’s piece that can actually take a beating.

Pricing varies by region — $270 in the US, ¥33,000 in Japan, £220 in the UK. The GA-110PKM-7A goes on sale July 17, 2026.
