Overview
- Casio presented the 2500 Series on Thursday, October 22, 2026, and set an early‑November launch with UK availability reported from 7 November.
- The nine‑piece family is Casio’s first fully analogue G‑Shock in decades and uses an eight‑sided, curved case that fans have nicknamed the “CasioNaut.”
- Casio confirmed a Magnetic Holding Structure that uses magnetic force to hold and reset the hands during impacts and a Multi‑Mission date window that shows the date, elapsed stopwatch minutes, mode info, or calendar details depending on function.
- Reported prices and model breakdowns differ between outlets, with examples ranging from roughly £110 for resin GAC‑2500 variants to higher metal‑accent and full‑metal options reported between about £230 and £350; exact retail specs and final prices will be clear at launch.
- The 2500 brings a heritage nod to the original 1983 G‑Shock while offering a dressier, everyday option at lower price points, a move that could broaden G‑Shock’s appeal and shift expectations for analogue models ahead of the brand’s upcoming milestone years.
