Casio’s five newly reported BGA-3000 watches are BABY-G models, not G-SHOCK-branded watches. The Japanese lineup pairs Tough Solar and Multiband 6 with resin or composite bands; Notebookcheck reports weights of 32 g for resin-band versions and about 50 g for composite-band versions. The detailed official specifications available here are for the composite-band BGA-3000C-2AJF, listed in Japan at ¥39,050 including tax.
What are the new Casio BGA-3000 watches?
The BGA-3000 is a BABY-G series. Casio Japan’s product listing identifies the BGA-3000C-2AJF under BABY-G, so calling these particular watches G-SHOCK models is inaccurate, even though both names belong to Casio’s watch range. The five-variant lineup was reported by Notebookcheck, but its written list repeats one model name. That inconsistency means the five colorways should not be treated as independently verified from that list alone.

The variants reported are BGA-3000-2A, BGA-3000-5A, BGA-3000-7A, BGA-3000C-2A and BGA-3000CG-5A. Since the official product page reviewed is for the Japan-market BGA-3000C-2AJF, it confirms specifications for that model and suffix—not every colorway or regional version.
How much do the BGA-3000 watches weigh?
Band construction is the key distinction in the reported weights: Notebookcheck gives 32 g for the resin-band variants and about 50 g for the composite-band variants. The official Japanese listing independently specifies 50 g for the BGA-3000C-2AJF, whose band combines metal and resin. The composite option is therefore heavier than the reported resin versions, rather than equally light.
#1 Best Overall
- ●Fully automatic calendar
For the BGA-3000C-2AJF, Casio lists case dimensions of 40.8 × 36.1 × 11.2 mm. The available official listing does not establish case dimensions for all of the other variants.
What features are confirmed?
Casio’s Japan product page lists the following functions and specifications for the BGA-3000C-2AJF:
- Tough Solar charging and Multiband 6 radio time reception
- Shock resistance and 10 bar water resistance
- World time covering 48 cities across 31 time zones
- A stopwatch measuring to 1/100 second and a 60-minute countdown timer
- Alarm, LED illumination and a full automatic calendar
- Approximately eight months of operation after a full charge without solar generation under the stated function-use conditions; approximately 20 months in power-saving mode
Those operating-time figures are Casio’s estimates for the listed model, not a guarantee of identical results for every wearer or use pattern. A 10 bar water-resistance rating is a specification, not by itself a guarantee of suitability for every water activity.

What Tough Solar and Multiband 6 mean
Casio’s feature guide describes Tough Solar as a system that converts light into power for watch functions. Multiband 6 receives time-calibration radio signals from six stations: two in Japan, plus stations in China, the United States, the United Kingdom and Germany. The availability of a usable signal depends on location and reception conditions; the feature does not mean the watch receives a signal everywhere.
Japan prices and availability
Notebookcheck reports Japanese preorder prices of ¥33,000 for resin-band versions, ¥39,050 for the BGA-3000C-2A, and ¥42,350 for the BGA-3000CG-5A. These are reported Japan-market prices, not confirmed prices for other countries. Casio Japan lists the BGA-3000C-2AJF at ¥39,050 including tax and identifies it as a new October 2026 model.
No launch schedule or price for markets outside Japan, nor verified retailer stock, is established by the available listings. The Japan model suffix should not be assumed to match the name, specification or availability of a version sold elsewhere.

The table reflects Japanese pricing reported by Notebookcheck and the specific official Japan listing; it is not a global price comparison. Casio’s broader technology material also describes its radio-control and solar features, but it does not add model-specific specifications beyond those on the product listing.
