G-shock lands big: star wars edition drops – and it’s not for the faint of heart

The Mandalorian and Grogu are hitting the screens, and Casio isn't playing small. They’ve just unleashed two new G-Shock watches, timed perfectly for the film’s May 22 release – a genuinely significant moment for the brand and a welcome return to the big screen for Star Wars itself.

A beskar beat and a grogu glow: design that delivers

Forget subtle nods. These aren’t your grandfather’s Star Wars tie-ins. Casio has leaned headfirst into the aesthetic, crafting a GM-2100 G-Steel, a brutally resilient timepiece that echoes the Beskar steel armor of Din Djarin. The forged metal bezel and industrial finish scream utilitarian grit – it's a watch built to withstand the rigors of any adventure, be it a sandstorm or a blaster fight. Then there’s the BA-110 Baby-G, a compact, bright green stunner mirroring Grogu’s signature skin. It’s deceptively tough, a testament to the Baby-G’s inherent durability.

But the real kicker? Each watch comes with a Bounty Hunter ID Card Watch Stand – a cleverly designed accessory that doubles as a display piece and a rigid stand. It’s a detail that elevates the purchase beyond mere wristwear, transforming it into a collectible piece of the Star Wars universe. Let’s be clear: these aren’t just watches; they’re miniature pieces of cinematic lore.

The GM-2100 retails at $220, while the limited-edition BA-110 Baby-G clocks in at $130. Pre-orders are now open, and frankly, it’s the only logical response to a release this momentous. May the fourth be with you – it’s a cliché, yes, but undeniably relevant here. Casio has delivered a product that’s both stylish and undeniably robust, a perfect pairing for a franchise that’s built on similar principles.”n
