Level Up Your Style: The Ultimate Pokémon Watch by Casio G-SHOCK
For fans of the world’s most famous pocket monsters, the wait is finally over. In a stunning celebration of three decades of adventure, Casio has officially teamed up with the Pokémon Company to release a timepiece that is as bold as a Hyper Beam. Introducing the GA110PKM-7A, a limited-edition G-SHOCK that brings the magic of the Pokémon universe straight to your wrist.
A Bold Departure from the Past
While previous Pokémon-themed timepieces were often limited to the smaller, more compact Baby-G silhouettes, Casio is turning up the volume. This new Pokémon watch utilizes the iconic, oversized GA110 platform, ensuring that your love for the franchise is seen from across the room. It’s not just a watch; it’s a statement piece for any serious trainer.
Nostalgic Design Meets Modern Aesthetics
The design of the GA110PKM-7A is a love letter to the origins of the franchise. The Pokémon experience began in 1996 with the legendary Red, Green, and Blue versions in Japan, and this watch pays homage to that legacy with a vibrant colourway. Red, green, and blue accents are meticulously placed across the bezel, dial, buttons, and hands.
Key design highlights include:
- Pikachu Hands: The watch hands are uniquely shaped to mirror Pikachu’s iconic silhouette.
- Poké Ball Dial: A specialized inset dial inspired by a Poké Ball sits perfectly at the 9 o’clock position.
- The Ultimate Band: The strap features 30 different Pokémon, representing each year of the franchise’s history—from the original Kanto starters like Charmander and Bulbasaur to the newest faces of the Paldea region.
- The Mythical Touch: Mew, the Pokémon said to contain the DNA of all others, is featured prominently on the band loop.
G-SHOCK Toughness: The Technical Specs
Beyond the aesthetics, this is a true G-SHOCK. Whether you’re trekking through the tall grass or navigating the urban jungle, this watch is built to survive any environment. It combines high-fashion anime aesthetics with military-grade durability.
Technical Specifications:
- Water Resistance: Up to 200 metres (perfect for swimmers and divers).
- Durability: Full shock and magnetic resistance.
- Global Reach: World time functionality across 29 different time zones.
- Precision: 1/1000th-second stopwatch with speed measurement capabilities.
- Utility: Five daily alarms and a full auto-calendar that runs all the way to the year 2099.
Pricing and How to Get Yours
The attention to detail doesn’t stop at the watch. The GA110PKM-7A arrives in a specially designed Poké Ball-shaped box, printed with all 30 Pokémon featured on the band. It’s the ultimate collector’s package.

Global Release Date: July 17
Canadian fans and international collectors can look for pre-orders starting July 1 via the official G-SHOCK website, select high-end jewellers, and the G-SHOCK SoHo Store. Given the massive popularity of the 30th-anniversary merchandise, this Pokémon watch is expected to sell out rapidly.
