On August 3, Casio unveiled eight models for the Asian market, ranging from the return of the GD-350 to three gold-colored Master of G watches. The question no English-language media outlet is asking is: how many of them actually make it to Guadalajara, Bogotá, or Madrid?

Casio dresses the GA-2100 in all-black and pushes it into territory where regular G-Shocks were never welcome. The real question isn't whether the watch looks good — it's whether a dressier finish actually changes what the watch is.
