Casio G-Shock GA010GGB-1A9 GA-010 SERIES Analog-Digital Gold Dial Resin Watch

Casio GA010GGB-1A9: G-Shock Goes Gold

G-Shock has always had a thing for bold colorways, and the GA-010GGB commits fully to the gold theme. This isn’t a watch with gold accents—it’s a watch that decided gold was the whole point.

The Gold Treatment

The dial gets gold-colored vapor deposition across the entire face. The LCD is a gold mirror finish. The analog hands are gold. Even the indices and markers are gold. Against the black glossy resin case and strap, the effect is intentionally striking. Casio describes it as “gleaming all over” and they’re not wrong. This is a G-Shock for people who want their G-Shock noticed.

Carbon Core Guard

The 52mm case uses Carbon Core Guard construction—bio-based carbon and resin that absorbs shock while keeping the module protected. At 67 grams, it’s lighter than the size suggests. The glossy finish on the band and case adds to the look but might show scratches more than matte resin would. Trade-off for the aesthetic.

The G-Shock Toolkit

Analog-digital display with hand shift feature that moves the hands out of the way when you need to read the digital. World time across 48 cities with one-touch UTC access. 1/100-second stopwatch, countdown timer, five alarms. Super Illuminator LED handles low light. 200m water resistance handles actual water. The 10-year battery life on CR2025 means you’ll likely scratch it before you drain it.

Who Wears This

At $165, the GA010GGB-1A9 sits in the mid-range of G-Shock pricing. It’s for people who like the gold-on-black aesthetic and don’t want to be subtle about their watch. All the G-Shock durability is here—the gold just makes sure people see it.
