The best Star Wars day launch I've seen is this pair of Casio G-Shock watches
The only question is whether you're Mandalorian or Grogu?
Quick Summary
Star Wars day is fast approaching, and this my be my favourite branded product.
The Casio G-Shock team has created a pair of watches dedicated to The Mandalorian and Grogu.
Ahead of Star Wars day, the Casio G-Shock team has unveiled a new collaboration with The Mandalorian and Grogu. The film – which is set later than the original Star Wars films we know and love – follows on from the popular series following the pair.
First up is the GM-2100 G-Steel, which is designed to represent the Mandalorian armour suit. It's tough, complete with a forged metal bezel and the brand's signature shockproof design.

All other features and functions are the same as any standard 2100 series G-Shock, meaning you'll snag a day indicator at nine o'clock, analogue hour and minute hands in the centre, and a display spanning the three- to six o'clock positions offering digital information.
The other model sits in the BA-110 Baby-G collection, and is designed to represent the galaxy's most beloved foundling, Grogu. That includes the use of their signature green hue for the case and strap.
Various other shades of green can be found on the dial, offering definition and contrast, without losing the resemblance to the character. The model features analogue hands in the centre, with a trio of digital displays beneath that to showcase other functions and information.
The two-piece collection is designed to highlight the two extremes of the franchises' audience, which is equally encapsulating for younger viewers and older Star Wars fans. Of course, there's no reason either of those parties couldn't rock the other watch, either, if that's your thing.
There's no word on pricing just yet, though we'd expect them to sit broadly in line with other models in the respective collections. Regardless, they're likely to be a must-have item for Star Wars fans.
