Update 10/9/24: Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days is about to end, and so will the offers for various models of G-Shock watches. There are still a lot of bargains that are available, and if you can’t keep up with all of them, you should check out our recommendations below.
There are two big things to know right now if you’re in the market for an affordable watch at a discount price. The first is that Prime Big Deal Days deals are here, with the shopping event running only until today, October 9. The next is that we found great deals on fun G-Shock watches, enough so that we’re covering them altogether separately from Casio Prime Big Deal Days deals, where you won’t find a single G-Shock covered. So here are all of our G-Shock deal favorites lined up just for you.
Casio G-Shock DW5600E — $40 $75 46% off
A classic digital G-Shock look and a big discount to boot. If you want one of the best black watches that’s both affordable and G-Shock, get this before Casio raises the price back up from a mere $40.
Casio G-Shock DW9052-1V — $45 $75 40% off
The Casio G-Shock DW9052-1V is another affordable G-Shock watch with the brand’s iconic design, which offers shock resistance, 200 meters of water resistance, and an electro-luminescent backlight. You can currently have it for 40% cheaper than usual, translating to savings of $30.
Casio G-Shock GA-2100 — $67 $99 33% off
Pictured above is my red Casio G-Shock GA-2100 after nearly 7 months of nigh-on daily use. It maintains fantastic condition and the scratchless dome still “turns invisible” when the angle is just right and no glare comes through. If you’re a fan of red, you’re in luck as this one typically goes on sale more than the others. I got mine for $70, now it’s just $67.
Casio G-Shock XL Series GA-700UC-8ACR — $87 $99 12% off
The Casio G-Shock XL Series GA-700UC-8ACRoffers a supper matte finish, shock resistance, up to 200 meters of water resistance, and a built-in LED light. It also offers a full auto-calendar, both analog and digital time, and a stopwatch — all with a 12% discount for savings of $12.
Casio G-Shock GWM5610-1 — $103 $150 31% off
The Casio G-Shock GWM5610-1, which is 31% off for savings of $47, may be recharged with the power of the sun, and it’s also shock resistant so it’s fine to wear during outdoor adventures.
Casio G-Shock GA-B2100 — $120 $160 25% off
Two things to know about this watch. One, it may look like the standard GA-2100, like mine above, but the GA-B2100 has solar powering (you won’t have to replace the battery in two years) and it has a Bluetooth connection for easy time adjustment. Two, the splashes of color where the numerals should go and on the date pointer are understated, but really pop. This is a fun watch for $120.
Casio G-Shock Coca Cola — $128 $160 20% off
If you’re a Coca Cola fan, this limited-edition watch should be a go to, especially while it is 20% off. Featuring the classic Coca Cola logo and colors, this watch either sells itself to you or it doesn’t. You know if you want this.
Casio G-Shock G-LIDE GBX-100— $160 $170 6%* off
The key thing to know about the G-LIDE GBX-100 is that it has a beautiful tide tracker, making it a great surfing watch or even a dive watch as it has 20 ATM water-resistance (about 200 meters). As for the deal, please note that this watch typically costs $180 via Casio, so its really $20 and 11% off if you think about it.
Casio G-Shock Rangeman GW9400 — $239 $300 20% off
The Rangeman helps you go from place to place with no GPS required. Its triple sensor design includes an altimeter, barometer, and a compass. Plus, the style is just really cool, with bulging and circles everywhere that almost feels like a Pokédex in watch form. It’s at it lowest price in 30 days on Amazon.
Casio G-Shock Move GBD-H2000 — $239 $399 40% off
You might find it hard to believe, but you can get a fitness watch from Casio with a paired back design. It tracks steps, heart rate, and even swimming strokes from a classic G-Shock design. Currently, it is $160 off.
Casio G-Shock GM-B2100PC Full Metal — $455 $580 22% off
Another variation on the classic 2100 shape from G-Shock, this time upgraded to be fully metal. It has rainbow coloration, too. Right now this watch is over $100 off.
How to choose a G-Shock on Prime Day
It’s a bit reductive, but there are three big styles of G-Shock to look out for: simple digital, 2100 style, and what we’ll call “advanced digital.”
The simple digital style is a flat LED screen that some people love, and you’ll see this is especially true for those that grew up with early digital watches. There is nostalgic charm here.
Then the 2100 comes into play. It’s a by-now iconic watch look for G-Shock watches. A dual analog and digital frame with a date pointer on the left and a button for an LED light for nighttime viewing. The GA-2100 starts it all with a 2-year battery life, but more advanced versions have solar powering and Bluetooth connections for precise time control. If you’re buying a gift for a run of the mill G-Shock fan, a 2100 is a safe bet.
Finally, G-Shock does tend to branch out, giving us that “advanced digital” look. With circles and baubles of fun clustering around the watch, these watches present something truly unique and may often have more advanced features.
How we chose these G-Shock Prime Day deals
There were a lot of G-Shock Big Deal Days deals out there, including on the company’s website, but the ones we found on Amazon were solid and represented the space well. We were able to find watches across a variety of price ranges and included watches from all of the “styles” of G-Shock outlined above, picking items that were priced most aggressively.
It should also be said that I snapped up this write-up on G-Shock as soon as I saw it was available. I wear a G-Shock myself as a daily wearable and am impressed by its design and durability. As a result, I keep G-Shock watches (including their prices) on my radar and very well might upgrade to a GA-B2100 once the battery in my GA-2100 dies out. My knowledge of the space helped inform this article.
