Testing the Casio G‑Shock 2500 “CasioNaut”
The review examines Casio’s new G‑Shock 2500 series, dubbed “CasioNaut,” highlighting its fully analog design with a unique quartz module that adds a digital‑style stopwatch while keeping the dial clean. The watch features the Shock Release Hand system for impact protection, a dual‑function date wheel, and a modest size that feels smaller than typical bulky G‑Shock models, making it well suited for running and everyday wear. Performance testing shows strong legibility, reliable water resistance to 200 meters, and a comfortable but slightly loose bracelet, though the backlight placement and limited stopwatch duration (stopping at 31:59) are noted drawbacks. Pricing ranges from A$289 for the resin version to A$599 for the full‑steel model, with availability beginning in early November 2026.
Buying Time Analysis: The review highlights the Casio G‑Shock 2500 “CasioNaut” as a groundbreaking analog‑only G‑Shock that introduces innovative hand‑shock protection and a unique mechanical‑style stopwatch, showing how Casio pushes functional design forward while offering a versatile, high‑performance watch for runners and everyday users.
