CASIO Philippines expands local lineup with G-SHOCK “Bold Camo” Series and second J Balvin collaboration

 

22 July 2026, Manila, Philippines — CASIO Philippines is expanding its local lineup this August with two highly anticipated releases: the G-SHOCK Bold Camo Series and the CASIO x J Balvin CRW001JB-9 Limited-Edition Ring Watch, both showcasing the brand’s continued evolution at the intersection of durability, design, and self-expression.

Launching on August 1 is the G-SHOCK Bold Camo Series, which reimagines the DW-6900, GA-700, and GA-V01 models with matte camouflage finishes accented by radiant gold dials. The collection features an exclusive camouflage pattern that subtly conceals G-SHOCK's signature “G” mark, giving each timepiece a distinctive streetwear-inspired identity while preserving the toughness and reliability that have made G-SHOCK one of the brand's most recognizable collections.

The new series offers a fresh interpretation of G-SHOCK’s signature designs by combining rugged performance with modern streetwear-inspired aesthetics. While introducing a bold new visual identity, the collection stays true to the durability and functionality that have made G-SHOCK a favorite among watch enthusiasts and everyday wearers alike.

Designed for daily wear, the Bold Camo Series pairs rugged performance with contemporary style, offering a fresh interpretation of classic G-SHOCK designs for consumers who value both durability and personal style.

The series comes with a lineup of six bold models, including the GM-6900CMG-3 (₱18,480), DW-6900CMG-3 (₱8,140), GA-700CMG-3A (₱9,610), GA-700CF-1A (₱9,060), DW-6900CF-1 (₱7,770), and GA-V01CMG-3A (₱12,570).

To celebrate the launch, customers who purchase any watch from the G-SHOCK Bold Camo Series will receive a limited-edition pouch bag, available while supplies last.

Now available online and in-stores, the CASIO x J Balvin CRW001JB-9 Limited-Edition Ring Watch (₱13,310) marks the second collaboration between CASIO and global music superstar J Balvin. Reimagining the brand's iconic digital watch as a wearable finger ring, the limited-edition piece blends fashion-forward design with everyday functionality. Finished in a textured gold-tone brick pattern with refined rhinestone accents, it retains signature CASIO features, including dual time, stopwatch, auto calendar, and LED backlight.

Blending CASIO's heritage in digital timekeeping with J Balvin's distinctive creative vision, the collaboration transforms one of the brand's most recognizable watch designs into an unexpected collectible. The release reflects the growing intersection of fashion, music, and culture while preserving the practical functionality that has long defined CASIO timepieces.

The collaboration reflects the shared commitment of CASIO and J Balvin to creativity and self-expression, bringing together music, fashion, and contemporary design in a collectible timepiece that reimagines one of the brand's most recognizable products.

“CASIO has always understood my vision when it comes to creativity and self-expression,” said J Balvin. “The first collaboration was personal and expressive, and with this release, we wanted to push even further by designing something that felt unexpected and instantly iconic. The ring watch blends music, fashion, and culture in a way that feels authentic to who I am and how I express myself.”

Although distinct in design, the two releases share a common theme of bold self-expression. The G-SHOCK Bold Camo Series refreshes some of CASIO's most enduring designs with a contemporary streetwear aesthetic, while the CASIO x J Balvin Ring Watch transforms one of the brand’s most recognizable digital timepieces into a collectible fashion accessory.

The G-SHOCK Bold Camo Series launches on August 1, 2026, while the CASIO x J Balvin CRW001JB-9 Limited-Edition Ring Watch will arrive later in August. Both collections will be available through authorized Casio retailers nationwide, G-SHOCK stores, and Casio online.
