New Casio GBM-2100A slim watches with bold metal bezel coming to more countries

Casio’s latest G-Shock G-Steel models, the GBM-2100A trio, are no longer confined to British wrists. The slim, Bluetooth-enabled, solar-powered watches have begun appearing on Casio’s online stores in the Netherlands, Spain and other European markets.

Key Takeaways:

  • Three models—GBM-2100A-2B, ‑4B and ‑8B—form the new G-Shock G-Steel lineup
  • The watches were previously available only in the United Kingdom
  • Casio has now listed the timepieces in online stores for the Netherlands and Spain, signaling wider European rollout
  • Each watch features Bluetooth connectivity and the brand’s Tough Solar charging system
  • A bold metal bezel and slim profile distinguish the hybrid design

A Wider European Debut
Casio’s G-Shock line has long prided itself on toughness, but its newest branch—the G-Steel GBM-2100A series—adds a dose of refined metal to that rugged DNA. After an initial launch in the United Kingdom, the GBM-2100A-2B, GBM-2100A-4B and GBM-2100A-8B are now surfacing on Casio’s online shops in the Netherlands, Spain and elsewhere across the continent.

All three share a slim silhouette—rare in the G-Shock universe—and a striking metal bezel that frames the familiar octagonal case. The color codes hint at their finishes, but the hardware underneath is identical.

Hybrid Tech Inside
Casio tags the watches as “hybrid” for good reason. Each model pairs analog resilience with digital convenience thanks to built-in Bluetooth. Syncing with a smartphone means automatic time updates and access to app-based settings, all while Tough Solar panels sip ambient light to keep the battery topped up.

“Features include Bluetooth connectivity, Tough Solar charging and a striking metal bezel,” the company notes in its product description, underscoring both practicality and style.

From Britain to the Mainland
In Notebookcheck’s words, the watches “will roll out more widely across Europe.” Early evidence is already visible: dedicated product pages have gone live on Casio’s Dutch and Spanish storefronts. For collectors and commuters alike, the expansion removes the need for cross-channel shipping workarounds.

Design That Speaks Metal
G-Shock fans may recognize the classic 2100-series outline, but the polished bezel gives the GBM-2100A family a flashier vibe. The aesthetic shift does not come at the expense of durability; Casio’s shock-resistant construction remains intact beneath the sheen.

What It Means for Buyers
Bluetooth syncing, solar charging and a slimmer wrist profile position the GBM-2100A line as an everyday, everywhere watch—now more accessible to European customers. For Casio, the broader release suggests confidence that the mix of metal and tech can resonate far beyond the U.K.

The question isn’t whether these G-Shocks can take a beating—they can—but how many new wrists across Europe will soon sport that bold octagonal glint.
