The GMW-B5000 Series has inherited the original G-Shock model's characteristic square design from 1983, reimagined with a full metal construction and upgraded features including smartphone linking. The watch features a shock-resistant fine resin cushioning material between the case and stainless steel metal bezel. High-density mounting technology maintains the watch's compact size. The Screw Lock Back is DLC treated for enhanced wear resistance. The metal band design mimics the original resin band with dimple processing. Visibility is improved with a film solar cell and STN-LCD. It includes Bluetooth® for smartphone connectivity, Multi-Band 6 for accurate timekeeping via radio signals, Tough Solar technology for power, high-luminance Full Auto LED backlighting, World Time, and a multi-language day of the week display. This G-Shock model honors its predecessor with a refined full-metal design.
