Casio continues to make waves in the watch industry in 2025, blending cutting-edge technology with bold design. Here’s a look at the brand’s most exciting recent developments and releases.
AI-Driven Design: The MTG-B4000 G-SHOCK
Casio’s flagship announcement this year is the MTG-B4000, a G-SHOCK model that marks a new era in watchmaking. For the first time, Casio integrated generative AI into the design process, collaborating with human designers to create a frame that fuses metal, carbon, and resin in a unique, layered structure. This approach allowed Casio to achieve complex forms and enhanced shock resistance that would have been nearly impossible with traditional methods[1][2][3].
Key features of the MTG-B4000 include:
- Dual Core Guard Structure: Boosts shock resistance by integrating the band connections directly into the case.
- Multiband 6: Receives time signals from six global transmitters for precise timekeeping.
- Bluetooth® Connectivity: Syncs with the Casio Watches app for automatic time updates and added features.
- Solar Power: Eco-friendly energy via solar charging.
- Sleek Profile: At just 14.4 mm thick, it’s slimmer than previous MT-G models, without sacrificing durability[4].
The MTG-B4000’s AI-assisted design not only advances technical performance but also introduces a striking, unconventional aesthetic—demonstrating how artificial intelligence and traditional craftsmanship can coexist in modern horology[2][3].
Outdoor Excellence: Pro Trek PRW35LD
For outdoor enthusiasts, Casio’s new Pro Trek PRW35LD is generating buzz. This watch is praised for its compact size, robust feature set, and refined, understated design. It’s tailored for hikers and adventurers who want a rugged, reliable timepiece without the bulk of previous Pro Trek models. The PRW35LD is expected to be a game-changer in the outdoor watch segment, offering advanced sensors and durability at an accessible price point[5].
Diverse New Releases Across Collections
Casio’s May 2025 lineup is one of its most diverse yet, with over 20 new models spanning G-SHOCK, Oceanus, Edifice, and Classic lines. Highlights include:

Casio’s 2025 releases show a brand unafraid to push boundaries—merging AI with human creativity, expanding its outdoor and luxury ranges, and maintaining a strong foothold in affordable, functional timepieces.
