Casio’s recreation of its first G-Shock watch is coming to the US.

The G-Shock DW-5000R — a faithful recreation of Casio’s first durable digital watch — debuted in Japan last week after being announced last month. At the time it wasn’t known if the watch would get an international release, but a new listing on Casio’s US site confirms the G-Shock DW-5000R is coming to America sometime in December 2024 for $200.

The next version of Apple’s item-tracking device will feature an Ultra Wideband chip that’s “on par with the one introduced in the iPhone 15,” Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman writes in Power On today.

He says that would effectively triple its range from the current model, which he notes has up to a 30-meter range. The AirTag successor is expected to come in 2025.
