The GM2110D features a 44.4mm octagonal bezel crafted from polished stainless steel, providing a sleek and modern appearance. The case is constructed from high-rigidity glass-fiber-reinforced resin, contributing to the watch's slim profile of 11.8mm—the slimmest among G-SHOCK combination models. 

The metal bracelet enhances the watch's premium look, featuring a one-touch stainless-steel clasp for secure and convenient fastening. The bracelet's polished finish complements the bezel, creating a cohesive and elegant design.  

The GM2110D offers a variety of dial colors, including sky blue, orange, lime green, navy, and silver. Each dial is made of metal with a lustrous appearance achieved through metal-plating and color-coating, adding depth and vibrancy. The hour markers and hands are treated with Neobrite luminous material, ensuring readability in low-light conditions. Additionally, the watch is equipped with a high-brightness double LED light, further enhancing visibility in the dark.
