From the PBB House to the G-Shock stage, Will Ashley is proving that style and function can go hand in hand. At the recent G-Shock Roadshow held at SM North EDSA’s Activity Center, the young actor was spotted wearing the new G-Shock GBM-2100A-2B—a sleek, smart, and solar-powered timepiece that’s built for busy days and bold looks. Fans who purchased a G-Shock/Casio watch at the roadshow even got a chance to meet and greet the young actor up-close!

“I have so many things listed on my schedule, so wherever I go and whatever I wear, I can really count on it because it fits and matches perfectly,” Will shared in Tagalog when asked why he’s loving the new watch. “It’s perfect for everyday plans and for everyday wear.”

And it’s easy to see why. The GBM-2100 packs serious functionality into a compact frame. It’s shock resistant, 20 bar water-resistant, and powered by a stable solar charging system that keeps the watch running without frequent battery swaps (a.k.a Tough Solar). It also features Smartphone Link, making it easy to sync and operate via your phone, and a Super Illuminator LED light that ensures visibility even in low-light settings.

What makes it even more impressive is its commitment to sustainability. The case and band use bio-based resin, an environmentally responsible material that doesn’t compromise on durability or style. It’s a subtle nod to eco-conscious fashion, wrapped in G-Shock’s signature toughness.

Style-wise, the GBM-2100 lineup offers three vapor deposition finishes to match your vibe: The GBM-2100A-2B with a blue dial and silvery indexes, same as what Will’s wearing; the GBM-2100A-4B with a burgundy dial and silvery indexes, and the GBM-2100A-8B with a light yellow gold-colored dial and black accents.

For Will, though, wearing a watch isn’t just about style. It’s about staying grounded in the moment.

“When I’m working out, I don’t usually use my phone, so I can’t check the time. That’s why it really feels incomplete when there’s nothing to look at on my wrist,” he explained. The GBM-2100 fits right into that mindset. It’s a timepiece that doesn’t just tell time. It keeps you on track, whether you’re on set, in the gym, or out with friends.

During Manila Millennial’s quick one-on-one chat, Will also gave fans a heartfelt shoutout: “I want to say thank you for all the love and support, sana suportahan n’yo pa rin po ako sa aking mga upcoming shows, Bar Boys: After School this Metro Manila Film Festival and Love You So Bad, at kasama na rin po dito ang The Secrets of Hotel 88 na gagawin naming ng PBB Housemates.”

With a packed schedule and a watch that can keep up, Will Ashley is showing us how to stay stylish, grounded, and ready for anything. And in case you’re wondering, the G-Shock GBM-2100A-2B is already available in G-Shock stores and online for Php 18,300.
