Casio has just expanded its acclaimed G-Shock G-Lide series with two stylish new models, the GLX-5600WHR24-2 and GLX-5600KB-1. Perfect for those with an adventurous spirit, these timepieces are not only visually appealing but also packed with features that cater to active lifestyles.
The GLX-5600WHR24-2, created in collaboration with Western Hydrodynamic Research, sports a blue resin case and bracelet. Its unique design boasts inspiring messages like “Take only pictures” and “Leave only footprints,” making it a great companion for eco-conscious adventurers.
On the other hand, the GLX-5600KB-1 is a testament to Casio’s ongoing partnership with professional surfer Kanoa Igarashi. This black bio resin model is accented with a subtle wave-inspired pattern, and features Igarashi’s signature both above the digital display and on the electroluminescent backlight. This model also benefits from ion plating, enhancing its shock resistance.
Despite their distinct designs, both models share impressive functionalities. They are waterproof up to 20 bar, making them perfect for water sports enthusiasts. Additionally, they provide tide charts and lunar data, essential tools for surfers and mariners alike. With 29 available world time zones, and features such as a stopwatch, timer, and alarms, these watches are built for both adventure and daily use.
Moreover, their battery life is exceptional, lasting up to seven years on a single BR2025 battery. Pricing for the Casio G-Shock G-Lide GLX-5600WHR24-2 is set at £129/€149, while the GLX-5600KB-1 is available for pre-order for Casio ID members at £139/€159.
Whether you’re riding the waves or exploring new horizons, these new G-Shock G-Lide models offer the perfect blend of durability, functionality, and style. Dive into your next adventure with a watch that’s as tough and dependable as you are.
