Casio appears to be preparing a fresh addition to its G-Shock lineup with the rumored GAV-01 series. According to leaks from Great G-Shock World, a Japanese Casio enthusiast blog, the upcoming collection will feature at least four models: GAV-01-1A, GAV-01-2A, GAV-01-9A, and GAV-01A-8A.
Decoding the Naming Convention
The “G” prefix strongly suggests the watches will belong to Casio’s rugged G-Shock family. Industry observers note that the “A” likely indicates an analog display, possibly paired with digital components—a hallmark of Casio’s hybrid designs. The enigmatic “V” in the model name remains unexplained, as it deviates from the brand’s typical nomenclature. Color variants are expected to include:
GAV-01-1A: Classic Black
GAV-01-2A: Blue
GAV-01-9A: Yellow or Beige
GAV-01A-8A: Gray
Launch Details Still Unconfirmed
While the blog cites an unnamed North American source, Casio has yet to officially acknowledge the series. Speculation points to a 2025 release, but pricing and regional availability remain unknown.
For those seeking alternatives, Casio’s existing GA2100-1A1 (currently $99 on Amazon) offers a similar analog-digital design. Fans of the brand will need to stay tuned for further updates as the rumored launch approaches.
