Many people search the new analog G-Shock as "GA-2500". The real name is the G-Shock GAC-2500. Casio launched it in Japan on 7 Nov 2026. It is a fully analog watch inspired by the first G-Shock, the DW-5000C. Below: official specs, colour codes, price clues, and how it compares with the GA-2100.

Is there a Casio GA-2500?
Short answer: no. Casio does not list a G-Shock called "GA-2500" in its official press or news pages. "GA-2500" is a common misspelling of GAC-2500. There is also a metal-accent sibling, GMC-2500. Both were announced on 22 Oct 2026 and went on sale in Japan on 7 Nov 2026.
What's new on the GAC-2500
This is a fully analog watch, not analog-digital like the GA-2100. Casio presents it as a reinterpretation of the original DW-5000C, with a softer, more rounded case. The headline feature is Multi-Mission Date — a three-cell window at 3 o'clock for the date, stopwatch elapsed minutes, or settings. Second-hand sleep lets the small seconds hand at 9 o'clock stop to save battery. It also has a fully automatic calendar on a fully analog watch.

Colour codes and GMC siblings
Casio lists four GAC-2500 colours at ¥20,900 each in Japan:
- GAC-2500-1A — black dial, black bezel, resin band
- GAC-2500-3A — green
- GAC-2500-7A — white
- GAC-2500-9A — yellow
The GMC-2500 family adds metal accents. Resin-band GMC-2500-1A / 1A8 are ¥37,400 in Japan; the gold GMC-2500G-9A is ¥39,600; full-metal GMC-2500D models are ¥49,500. The GMC-2500-1A weighs 68 g versus 47 g for the GAC-2500-1A.
Prices found so far (Japan / Australia) + Malaysia status
I have not found an official Casio Malaysia RM price for the GAC-2500, and I will not guess one. What I do have:
- Japan official price: ¥20,900 for GAC-2500 colours (Casio Japan press, 22 Oct 2026). GMC models: ¥37,400 to ¥49,500.
- Australia clue only: Casio Australia shop listed GAC colours at AUD 289 on 9 Nov 2026 (GMC-2500-1A AUD 459; full-metal GMC AUD 559; gold GMC AUD 499). These are not Malaysian prices.
In Malaysia, the Lazada listing I link to is the white GAC-2500-7A, at RM579.00 when I checked on 9 Nov 2026. That is a seller price, not an official Casio price, so check the latest price before you buy.
How does that compare with Japan? Casio Japan's official price of ¥20,900 (tax included) works out to about RM536 at the 9 Nov 2026 exchange rate (1 JPY = RM0.0256). So the RM579 Lazada price is about RM43 (around 8%) more than the official Japan price. For a new model that is not in official Malaysian stores yet, that gap looks reasonable to me. Exchange rates change, so treat this as a rough guide only.
GAC-2500 vs GA-2100: which to buy
If you're already looking at the G-Shock GA-2100 price in Malaysia, here's how the two compare.
| Feature | GAC-2500-1A | GA-2100 |
|---|---|---|
| Display | Fully analog (two-eye) | Analog-digital |
| Design story | Analog take on DW-5000C | Octagon, Carbon Core Guard |
| Case size | 46.7 × 44.5 × 12.7 mm | 48.5 × 45.4 × 11.8 mm |
| Weight | 47 g | 51 g |
| Water resistance | 200 m | 200 m |
| Extra functions | Multi-Mission Date, second-hand sleep, 30-min stopwatch | World time, 1/100 stopwatch, timer, 5 alarms, double LED |
| MY price | Not found yet | RM549 for GA-2100-1A1 (1 Nov 2026 check) |
My take: pick the GA-2100 if you want world time, alarms and a 1/100 stopwatch. Pick the GAC-2500 if you want a clean fully analog look with DW-5000C heritage and fewer digital extras.
Where to buy in Malaysia
Important: the Casio / G-Shock official store in Malaysia does not sell the GAC-2500 yet. The Shopee and Lazada shops linked below have it now. Before you buy, check the seller is genuine:
- Look at the seller's ratings and read recent reviews.
- Read the warranty wording carefully — make sure it's clear what's covered and by whom.
- Confirm the listing says original box and tags are included.
- If the price looks too good to be true, it probably is.
