Casio launched the G-Shock G-5600SFJ-9, a special edition watch made with Surfrider Foundation Japan. The watch is built for surfers and outdoor users who care about ocean conservation.
Design and Materials
The watch has yellow and beige colors that look like morning sun over the ocean. Each watch looks different because of how the mixed-resin molding works. The strap and case are made from bio-based resin instead of regular plastic. You’ll see the Surfrider Foundation Japan logo on the watch face and back. The band loop has #oceanfriendlylifestyle printed on it. The watch measures 46.7 × 43.2 × 12.7 mm and weighs 47g. It is shock-resistant and water-resistant up to 200 meters.
Battery and Power
Casio’s Tough Solar technology powers the watch. A full charge lasts 12 months with normal use, or 22 months in power-saving mode. The screen turns off in the dark to conserve battery.
Features and Functions
The watch has World Time, which lets you track 5 different time zones from 31 options. The stopwatch counts to 1/100-second for the first 60 minutes, then switches to 1-second timing after that. The countdown timer goes up to 24 hours.
There are 5 daily alarms, and one has a snooze function. The Super Illuminator backlight turns on automatically, and you can pick how long it stays on. The calendar works automatically until 2099.
Other features include 12/24-hour time display, day names in different languages, a mute button, and a battery level indicator.
Availability and Price
The G-5600SFJ-9 will be available in Japan and the UK starting June 2025. It’s priced at ¥20,900 in Japan (around $145). The Casio UK site lists the watch but hasn’t revealed the price yet.
In other news, Casio has also launched the MTG-B4000 series in Japan, its first G-Shock watches co-designed with AI. Using historical shock-resistance data, AI helped create the Dual Core Guard structure by combining carbon and stainless steel through iterative 3D modeling refined by designers.
