Leak: Casio G-Shock GA-B010 may get Bluetooth and 10-year battery

Casio is preparing to make a major update to its long-life battery watch series. Recently, rumours about a new G-Shock GA-B010 model have surfaced on the Internet, which may be the first in the series to support Bluetooth connectivity.

Here's What We Know

If this turns out to be true, the G-Shock GA-B010 will be the first watch with a 10-year battery to get smart features while maintaining its main advantage - endurance and durability.

The new watch is likely to be based on the GA-010 model with a shock-resistant case and a clear dial for easier time reading. However, the addition of Bluetooth indicates a move towards smart features. The ability to automatically synchronise time and integrate with mobile devices is likely to be available without changing the rugged and reliable design for which Casio is renowned.

As with previous models, the emphasis will be on energy efficiency. According to rumours, the GA-B010 will retain a 10-year battery life thanks to its low power consumption and ability to be charged using solar power.

In addition, Casio has been actively introducing Bluetooth to various G-Shock series, which may also indicate the use of more environmentally friendly materials in the new model. Official details should be available soon.

Casio has recently launched the G-Shock GA-V01 in four vibrant colours. The series includes four bright models: GA-V01-1A (black), GA-V01-2A (magenta), GA-V01-8A (silver), and GA-V01-9A (lime green).
