Is there anything better than a new watch? How about a new watch that donates to a good cause? Since October is breast cancer awareness month, Casio has launched two different pink models—the GMD-S5610PK-4 and DW-5600PK-1—into the market to help raise awareness of this disease.

Some 5% of profits that are made from the sales of the DW-5600PK-1 and GMD-S5610PK-4 will be donated to the J.POSH non-profit organization. Besides that, Casio America, the main organization behind these watches, will wire $20,000 to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, even if the two models don’t make enough sales.

Measuring 45.7 x 40.5 x 11.9 millimeters, the GMD-S5610PK-4 is fitted with pink bio-based resin straps for a more sturdy fit.

It’s also worthwhile to mention that this Casio watch also comes with a bio-based resin bezel for housing the pink-tinted dial. Speaking of which, the dial has large digits that are readable from different positions and angles. Apart from that, it is equipped with a seconds countdown timer, a 24-hour countdown timer, and a minute countdown timer for precise timekeeping and accuracy.

In terms of durability, the GMD-S5610PK-4 is characterized by a mineral glass top casing, a 200-M water-resistant build, and a shock-resistant casing.

Unlike the GMD-S5610PK-4, the DW-5600 PK-1 has a black color with some pink shades. It is also bigger than its counterpart — it is 45.7 x 40.5 x 11.9 mm.

For starters, the GMD-S5610PK-4 retails at around $125, while the G-shock DW-5600 PK-1 costs $85.

Both watch models are available on the official Casio website. However, due to high demand, they might be sold out in some regions.

Watches That Celebrate America
What makes an American watch today? We explore the brands keeping the country's horological tradition alive.
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

My first horological crushes were glamorous European supermodels with names like Cartier, Audemars Piguet, and Patek Philippe. As my tastes matured, the Far East captured my fancy when I discovered the restrained elegance of Naoya Hida, Grand Seiko, and Hajime Asaoka. But every rambling heart eventually finds its way home. Now, a seasoned chronophile, I'm head over heels for all-American beauties.

I sat down with American horology hero Cameron Weiss to learn about the history of Yankee watchmaking. After cutting his teeth at Audemars Piguet and Vacheron Constantin, Cameron founded Weiss Watch Company, a trailblazer in the revival of American mechanical watchmaking. Cameron also hosts two of the internet’s most entertaining watch podcasts: Watch & Listen and The Watchmaker’s Workshop.

525 cyclist victories went into building Brietling’s newest watch
Breitling honors one of the greatest cycling legends of all time in their newest watch
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Breitling has been a mainstay in the luxury watch world for as long as watches have been on the wrists of explorers around the world. After their success with the iconic Navitimer, Breitling looked for a new way to make a splash, and boy, did they find a great one in the early sixties. When they dropped the Breitling Top Time, it was a revolution, the kind that showed up on the wrist of one of the most famous people in the world. When James Bond wears a watch, it becomes an icon, a legend. Now, the Top Time didn't have the Geiger counter on it that Sean Connery's did in 1965's Thunderball, but it was a pillar for the next decade. Following the discontinuation in the 1970s and the relaunch in 2020, Breitling has dropped a new version honoring one of the greatest cyclists to ever pedal.

Eddy Merckx is the greatest cyclist of all time. His record speaks for itself. These watches capture that drive, that constant push to go further, faster, and push limits. - Jean-Marc Pontroué, CEO, Breitling

The Surprising Connection Between Luxury Watches and Sneakers
How Collecting Became a Market
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Back in the day, as in pre-2020 (which, let’s be honest, still feels like it was a year ago), collecting was so much simpler. You bought a watch simply because you liked the dial or the way it glittered on your wrist. You bought a pair of sneakers because you thought they made you look like your favorite athlete. Or, maybe there was satisfaction in knowing they might be worth more someday (though we’re still waiting on all those Beanie Babies to go up in price too). Then came 2020, and we all know what happened then. 

When the world shut down, people found themselves with too much time on their hands, more disposable income since there was nowhere to spend money, and a collectibles boom erupted forth like a volcano. Watches and sneakers were no longer just hobbies; they were actual markets. Rolex prices jumped up to outrageous heights, and then later fell like a lead balloon. The frenzy became so intense that, after peaking in April 2022, an index of popular Rolex models tracked by WatchCharts would later fall 21%, according to Morgan Stanley.
