Casio Launches G-Shock GMC-2500 Series Amid Rising Demand for Traditional Watches in India
Casio has introduced the G-Shock GMC-2500 series featuring a magnetic minute hand designed to resist impacts, 200-metre water resistance, and stopwatch functionality. The five analogue models, available with stainless-steel or resin bands, launched in Japan in November 2026, with India availability yet to be announced. Casio India’s Managing Director noted a growing trend among young Indian consumers shifting from smartwatches to traditional and analogue-hybrid watches, valuing style and brand alongside functionality.
