Casio's sapphire-equipped G-Shock GST-W1000 series gets European pricing and release window

Casio’s latest G-Steel GST-W1000 series is finally making its way to Europe. All three models, the GST-W1000D-1A, GST-W1000AD-2A and GST-W1000D-3A, have appeared on Casio’s European website with a November 2026 release window. However, none of the watches can be purchased directly from the European store just yet.

According to Spanish publication Cinco Días, Casio has confirmed that the series will arrive in Spain sometime in November, lining up with what Casio’s EU website says. The black GST-W1000D-1A and green GST-W1000D-3A will reportedly cost €779, while the blue GST-W1000AD-2A, which features a black ion-plated bezel, will retail for €799. They will be sold through G-Shock’s online store and selected retailers.

Interestingly, all three watches have already become available outside Japan. Hong Kong’s authorised Casio online flagship store currently lists the black and green variants for HK$6,680 (~€750) each, with the blue variant costing HK$6,880 (~€782). Meanwhile, Casio Taiwan has officially announced a late-October release, with prices ranging from NT$22,000 (~€600) to NT$23,500 (~€642).

To recall, the GST-W1000 series introduces Casio’s Tough MVT.2 movement, which can automatically correct hand positions following external disturbances, as seen in the recent CasioNaut hands-on video. Other features include Tough Solar charging, Multi Band 6 radio-controlled timekeeping, Bluetooth smartphone connectivity and a sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating. The watches also feature a four-component metal bezel with individually finished surfaces and concealed mounting screws. All three measure 50 × 45.5 × 13.2 mm, weigh 138 g and offer 200 metres of water resistance.
