Casio has officially collaborated with Pokémon, releasing an ambitious new watch that puts 30 pocket monsters on your wrist.
The watch giant has announced the GA110PKM-7A, a full-sized G-SHOCK built in honor of the Pokémon franchise’s 30th anniversary.
According to Casio America (via Yahoo! News), every previous Pokémon-branded timepiece lived exclusively on compact Baby-G silhouettes. This one rides the bold, oversized GA110 platform.
The watch’s colorway pulls directly from the original games. Red, green, and blue accents run across the hands, buttons, dial, and bezel, nodding to Pocket Monsters Red, Pocket Monsters Green, and Pocket Monsters Blue, which launched in Japan in 1996. The franchise later crossed overseas two years later as Pokémon Red and Blue.
The face of the watch has a Poké Ball-inspired inset dial that sits at the 9 o’clock position, while the watch hands are shaped in Pikachu’s iconic silhouette.
The band carries 30 Pokémon, one for each year, starting with the original Kanto starters (Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur) all the way through the Paldea region (Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly) — with Pikachu and Eevee also represented.
Mew, the Mythical Pokémon said to carry the genes of all Pokémon, occupies the band loop. The caseback is engraved with a commemorative 30th-anniversary Pokémon logo. And if that’s not enough Poké energy for you, the watch ships inside a Poké Ball-shaped box printed with all 30 Pokémon from the band.
On the spec side, the GA110PKM-7A carries 200-meter water resistance, shock and magnetic resistance, world time across 29 zones, five daily alarms, a 1/1000th-second stopwatch with speed measurement, and a full auto-calendar running through 2099.
