Thanks for noting this, I hadn't picked up on it when I saw these as new releases on the Japan site. Great to see the non-BT classics getting tweaked and an extended lease of life.

I can't find a manual either, but from Casio Japan's G-Shock site:

Could easily happen as Christmas isn't an holiday in predominantly Shinto / Buddhist Japan. Just another normal work or school day.

I bought some strap adaptors from Vario earlier this year, and in the short time it took them to be delivered, sold my last G Shock. Having rectified that recently, I remembered I had the adapters...

I like the design. Europe may have the majority in craftsmanship but Japan is where all the horological innovation has been for almost half a century, and Casio are a big part of that. I don't have...
No info here yet. Only the two models I noted are currently available for pre-order. Casio's site in Japan only lists those two too http://g-shock.jp/products/master_of_g/gravitymaster/gpw-2000/
