The Casio G-Shock GA-010-1A represents a benchmark in modern tactical timekeeping, engineered for those who demand uncompromising durability without sacrificing functionality. This analog-digital hybrid combines the legendary shock resistance that defines the G-Shock lineage with a sophisticated dual-display configuration, delivering both traditional timekeeping and advanced digital capabilities in a single robust package. The all-black resin construction with bold white luminous hour markers creates a stealthy aesthetic that transitions seamlessly from urban environments to outdoor adventures.
At Cassim & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer for CASIO watches, ensuring that every G-Shock timepiece we offer carries the full manufacturer's warranty and genuine quality assurance. The GA-010-1A is powered by Casio's precision quartz movement and features an exceptional 10-year battery life, virtually eliminating the need for frequent servicing. The watch incorporates bio-based resin components in its construction, reflecting Casio's commitment to sustainable manufacturing practices without compromising the structural integrity that G-Shock collectors have trusted for decades.
Functionally, this timepiece excels with a comprehensive suite of complications including a 1/100-second stopwatch with 24-hour measuring capacity, 60-minute countdown timer, multi-function alarm, and full auto-calendar programmed to the year 2099. The dual LED illuminator provides high-visibility backlighting for both analog and digital displays, ensuring legibility in any lighting condition. Water resistance to 200 metres makes this watch suitable for serious aquatic activities, from recreational swimming to snorkelling, while the shock-resistant case protects the movement from impacts that would compromise lesser timepieces.
The GA-010-1A features a comfortable resin strap with adjustable sizing from 145mm to 215mm, accommodating a wide range of wrist sizes while maintaining the secure fit essential for active wear.

FAQ
Q: What is the battery life of the GA-010-1A, and can it be replaced?
A: The GA-010-1A features an exceptional 10-year battery life under normal usage conditions. When replacement is eventually required, any authorised Casio service centre can replace the battery. At Cassim & Co., we can arrange battery replacement services for your convenience.
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming and diving?
A: Yes, the GA-010-1A is water-resistant to 200 metres (20 bar), making it suitable for recreational swimming, snorkelling, and surface water sports. However, it is not designed for scuba diving or high-velocity water sports. Avoid operating the buttons underwater and rinse with fresh water after exposure to saltwater.
Q: What does the 10-year battery indicator on the dial mean?
A: The "10YR BATTERY" marking on the dial confirms that this watch is equipped with Casio's long-life power cell, designed to operate for approximately 10 years before requiring replacement. This significantly reduces maintenance needs compared to standard quartz watches that typically require battery changes every 2-3 years.
Q: How do I adjust the time and digital functions on this analog-digital watch?
A: The GA-010-1A uses a button-operated interface to access and adjust various functions. The complete user manual is included with your purchase, and our staff at Cassim & Co. are happy to demonstrate the adjustment procedures when you collect your watch or visit our boutique.
Q: What is bio-based resin, and does it affect the watch's durability?
A: Bio-based resin is derived from renewable plant materials rather than petroleum products, reflecting Casio's environmental commitment. The use of bio-based components does not compromise the watch's legendary G-Shock durability or shock resistance—it maintains the same protective standards as traditional resin models.
Q: Can the strap be adjusted or replaced?
A: Yes, the resin strap accommodates wrist sizes from 145mm to 215mm through standard buckle adjustment. The strap can also be replaced if desired, though genuine Casio replacement straps are recommended to maintain the watch's integrity and water resistance. We can assist with sizing adjustments and strap replacements at our Mall of the South location.
Q: Does this watch come with an international warranty?
A: Yes, when purchased from Cassim & Co. as an authorised Casio retailer, the GA-010-1A includes a full 1-year international Casio warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. This warranty is valid worldwide at any authorised Casio service centre.

Care Guide
- Water Exposure: While water-resistant to 200 metres, rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to saltwater, chlorinated pool water, or soap to prevent residue buildup on seals and case.
- Button Operation: Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged, as this may compromise water resistance.
- Temperature: Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures above 60°C or below -10°C, as this may affect battery performance and resin integrity.
- Chemical Exposure: Keep the watch away from solvents, detergents, cosmetics, and chemicals that may damage the resin case, strap, or gaskets.
- Cleaning: Clean the case and strap periodically with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water. For stubborn dirt, use mild soap and rinse thoroughly. Dry completely before storage.
- Impact Resistance: Although shock-resistant, avoid deliberately subjecting the watch to severe impacts or dropping it on hard surfaces.
- Storage: When not in use, store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, magnetic fields, and strong vibrations.
- Strap Care: The resin strap may accumulate perspiration and dirt. Clean regularly with water and mild soap, ensuring it is completely dry before wearing.
- Battery: When the display dims or functions become sluggish after several years, have the battery replaced promptly by an authorised service centre to prevent potential leakage.
- Gasket Maintenance: Water-resistance gaskets naturally deteriorate over time. If you use the watch regularly for water activities, consider having gaskets inspected every few years.
