Tell us about the square G-SHOCK in July 2023!
It’s getting hotter and it’s the season when you can make G-SHOCK stand out with short sleeves.
- This year is the 40th anniversary of G-SHOCK and attractive models are appearing one after another!
- A model that was unlikely to exist, such as “the base is fully visible” and “half metal band” is now available!
In the new release article, we also introduce “models that G-SHOCK fans are interested in” other than the square type .
Skeleton LCD with circuit board visible
G-SHOCK 40th Anniversary CLEAR REMIX
First of all, in commemoration of the 40th anniversary, a model with a “skeleton dial” is now available!
Models that have never been seen before are appearing one after another.
Combination of resin band and metal band DWE-5640RX-7
First of all, it is the appearance of a very aggressive model that not only has a skeleton base, but also a skeleton band on one side and a metal band on the other.
The recent trend of G-SHOCK is “metalization” . Until now, several models with “metal bezel and resin band” have been released.
On the other hand, this model” the DWE-5640RX” is a fairly aggressive model with a metal band (part of it).
It is the first model that “the bezel is resin and only the lower part of the band is metal”!
The feeling of a special model unique to the 40th anniversary is transmitted.
As a function, there is no substitute for normal battery type (DW-5600 etc.).
Also, the LCD screen is “pretty hard to see”. Still, it’s so good because it’s a commemorative model and a special model!
If you see it, please pick it up.
5000 series dial DW-5040RX-7
And there is another “square type” skeleton liquid crystal model DW-5040RX-7.
The dial here is the “5000 series” dial instead of the “5600 series”.
If you want a 5000 series dial, buy this one.
Although the module numbers of both models are different, the functions are almost the same.
- The module number and manual number of DWE-5640RX is “3526”
- The module number and manual number of DW-5040RX-7 is “3534”
It is
When I compared both manuals, the only difference is the use of letters in two places, and there is no big difference.
There is almost no functional difference between the two models . The hardware difference between the two models is that the DWE-5600 is the original DWE-5600 and has a “band replacement lever” .
If you have lost the manual or do not know how to set it, you can see the manual by the following method.
I believe there is a 3 or 4 digit number enclosed in a square on the back cover of your CASIO watch.
You can see the manual by entering this number on the Casio manual page .

Do you know the G-SHOCK world ranking number 1 model?
G-SHOCK’s best-selling rankings are different in Japan and the rest of the world.
In this article (TIMEgearWeb Japanese), the world and Japan sales rankings are posted. (as of 2019)
| rank | Japan | the whole world |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | DW-6900 | GA-110 |
| 2 | DW-5600 | GA-100 |
| 3 | GA-110 | DW-6900 |
The square/square type G-SHOCK which is loved by all Japanese people, is not very popular all over the world. So Casio is doing everything in its power to promote it.
The “6900 series” and “110 series” which have high sales both in Japan and around the world, are also on sale in this 40th Anniversary CLEAR REMIX.
3 windows DW-6940RX
The “6900 series” is a fun model just by looking at the three windows that increase and decrease every second.
The world’s best-selling 110 series GA-114RX, GMA-S114RX
The “110 series” is a model that features a large face, and is popular all over the world, so many collaboration models have been released.
Also, for those who think it’s too big, the slightly smaller “S110 series” is also on sale .
(In this 40th Anniversary CLEAR REMIX, the model number is “GMA-S114RX”.)
Latest trend G-SHOCK GA-2140RX, GMA-S2140RX
Although it was not yet ranked in the 2019 ranking above, the model “2100 series” representing G-SHOCK for the past few years is also included in this lineup.
Also, the slightly smaller “GMA-S2140RX” is on sale at the same time. It is good as a pair watch.
