Another Carbon Core Guard model, the upcoming GST-B200 offers a fresh update to the G-Shock G-STEEL line.
Apart from the use of the new carbon fiber-reinforced case, a major difference from the previous generation G-STEEL GST-B100 is that the GST-B200 has an analog-digital display instead of a fully analog one. Features include Tough Solar power (based on seeing the battery level indicator on the display) and Bluetooth mobile link. From the looks of it, the GST-B200 will be smaller and lighter than the GST-B100. As with the resin-based GA-2000, the use of the Carbon Core Guard case allows the GST-B200 to have a sleeker and more streamlined look than previous G-STEEL models.
Update: According to Gshock.com, the overall diameter has been decreased by 2.6 mm compared to previous G-STEEL models while the dial has been increased by 2.8 mm. Also, the sub-display is an STN LCD and the LED is the Super Illuminator.
The G-STEEL GST-B200 will be released in May 2019. The debut models include the GST-B200-1AJF (MSRP ¥48,600 JPY), GST-B200B-1AJF (MSRP ¥54,000 JPY), and GST-B200D-1AJF (MSRP ¥54,000 JPY).

Well, at least the MT-G models still have multiband 6 :/.
Unrelated to this, but I have been trying to find the PRW-6600YBE-5JR for a while now. Some sites have it listed as out of stock, some as a preorder. Ebay had none listed. Has this watch been released yet? I have seen the other two 6600s in the lineup listed on ebay, but none of the khaki model. Are they ever going to make it to the us market? Do you think that casio will release a gold and leather version of the 6600? -Thank you for your time. -BOV
I see one listing on eBay right now. The model number (ending with JR) indicates it’s a limited model and I think it’s not being produced anymore so it may be hard to find at this point. No idea about a gold and leather version.
