Casio released a limited-edition watch that merges G-Shock durability with Pokémon nostalgia for collectors and fans of the franchise. The GA-110PKM-7A represents a collaboration between the watch manufacturer and the gaming franchise for this timepiece. The release provides a physical accessory to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the gaming franchise. The watch features a retro gaming aesthetic and differs from typical smartwatches in its design.

Limited edition timepiece features Pikachu hand and retro color scheme
The watch builds on the proven G-Shock GA-110 platform, which provides shock resistance and water resistance for daily wear. Casio customized the exterior to reflect the original 1996 Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue games through a specific color palette. The design integrates several iconic symbols directly into the hardware. A Poké Ball inset sits at the 9 o'clock position on the dial. The hour hand features a distinct Pikachu shape. The design elements add a themed appearance to the standard watch model.
