Casio G Shock GMC 2500 price in India
Indian launch coverage gives only the series range of ₹9,995–₹26,995. The resin GAC-2500 probably sits at the bottom of that range and the steel-bracelet GMC-2500D at the top. Casio hasn't confirmed that split in any report we've seen, though, so check the MRP on casio.com/in before you pay.

| GMC-2500D-1A | Black, steel bracelet | ¥49,500 | $350 |
| GMC-2500D-1A2 | Blue, steel bracelet | ¥49,500 | $350 |
The resin GAC-2500 comes in black, green, white and yellow, at ¥20,900 each.
Specs and what it lacks
- Design: it's an analog take on the 1983 DW-5000C. The dial uses a "Two-Eye" layout, with small seconds at 9 o'clock and a date window at 3 o'clock. Fans call it the "CasioNaut" because its shape resembles the Patek Philippe Nautilus.
- Functions: stopwatch (up to 29'59"), auto-calendar to 2099, amber LED light with afterglow.
- Magnetic hands: a hard knock can shift the hands, and they settle back within minutes. This uses more power, which is why you can put the seconds hand to sleep (Notebookcheck).
- Fit: the resin strap fits 145–215 mm wrists and the steel bracelet fits 150–205 mm.
- Missing: there's no Tough Solar charging and no Bluetooth. It also isn't full metal, because a resin inner case sits under the steel shell.
GMC-2500 vs GA-2100 "CasiOak"
The GA-2100 is the octagonal analog-digital G-Shock. It has a small LCD and a carbon core guard case. The GMC-2500 is analog only, with a rounder case and a steel bezel over resin, so it's closer to the GM-2100 metal-clad version of the CasiOak. Buy the GA-2100 if you want digital functions and a light everyday beater. Buy the GMC-2500 if you want a dressier steel look with magnetic hands. Within the 2500 series, the GAC is all resin, the GMC adds a steel bezel, and the GMC-2500D adds a steel bracelet.
Where to buy it in India
Casio sells the series through its official India online store and its exclusive stores. Reports put the number of stores at about 61. Launch coverage doesn't say how quickly stock will reach each city or other retailers. On marketplaces, buy only from Casio's own store or an authorised seller.
