Casio's G-SHOCK x Pokémon watch packs 30 creatures on your wrist
Casio has officially launched the G-SHOCK x Pokémon GA110PKM-7A, a shock Pokémon watch 30th anniversary edition that wraps 30 Pocket Monsters around a full-sized GA-110 band.

What Is the G-SHOCK x Pokémon GA110PKM-7A?
Casio has officially collaborated with Pokémon on the GA110PKM-7A, an ambitious watch that puts 30 pocket monsters on your wrist. The full-sized G-SHOCK rides the bold GA-110 platform rather than the compact Baby-G silhouettes used for every previous Pokémon-branded timepiece.
The colorway pulls from the original 1996 games: red, green, and blue accents across the hands, buttons, dial, and bezel nod to Pocket Monsters Red, Green, and Blue. A Poké Ball-inspired inset dial sits at 9 o'clock, while the hands are shaped in Pikachu's iconic silhouette.
The band carries one Pokémon per anniversary year, from Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur through Paldea's Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly, plus Pikachu and Eevee. Mew occupies the band loop, and the caseback is engraved with a commemorative 30th-anniversary Pokémon logo. The watch ships inside a Poké Ball-shaped box printed with all 30 creatures.
Why Does the Shock Pokémon Watch 30th Collaboration Matter?
Leaked imagery that surfaced earlier on social media via @geesgshock hinted at a clear-bodied GA-110 with Pikachu details long before Casio confirmed the project. That early buzz underscored demand for a standard full-sized model after years of Baby-G-only releases.
For collectors, the GA110PKM-7A sits in a broader wave of G-SHOCK IP drops in 2026, alongside other franchise tie-ins that have drawn global attention. If you follow limited-edition wearables in our Future Tech & AI Wonders coverage, this one bridges gaming nostalgia with serious tool-watch specs.
How Much Does the G-SHOCK x Pokémon Watch Cost?
Pricing varies by market. In the United States, the GA110PKM-7A is priced at $270. UK buyers will pay £220 through Casio's website when the watch drops in July.
In Japan, the same model costs ¥33,000—roughly £150—but availability runs through a lottery rather than open checkout. The UK premium reflects easier access: you skip the draw, though you are still limited to one purchase per Casio account.
When and Where Can You Buy It?
US pre-orders open Wednesday, July 1, 2026, at gshock.com, the G-SHOCK SoHo Store, and select jewelers. The global release date is July 17.
UK shoppers should watch Casio's UK website in July. The UK site does not explicitly cap stock, but you may need to move quickly when the watch drops. Japan's lottery makes securing a unit far harder, so the UK route is less of a gamble for Trainers who want one on the wrist.
Under the hood, the 51.2mm case delivers shock resistance, 200 meters of water resistance, world time across 29 zones, a 1/1000th-second stopwatch with speed measurement, five daily alarms, and a full auto-calendar through 2099. This is a design-first collab that keeps classic G-SHOCK functionality intact.
