It features a hot pink resin casing and strap, with a glittered dial.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"7\" class=\"css-1ood0zq emevuu60\">The two pieces boast a similar set of features: support for world time, a stopwatch, a timer, an alarm (multiple for the GMAS110XG-4A), and 200 meters of water resistance.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"8\" class=\"css-1ood0zq emevuu60\">Currently a specific release date for the US market has not been confirmed, but the two watches have both been listed on the website.
