Description
Product Introduction
In 2018, 35 years after the release of the original DW-5000C, the GMW-B5000 was released, featuring a full-metal case and a Connected Engine, based on the concepts of "evolved exterior," "evolved structure," and "evolved module." The bezel is made of hard stainless steel, resulting in a full-metal case. The hollow construction, a core G-SHOCK technology, has been redesigned to further enhance the shock resistance. A fine resin buffer is sandwiched between the metal bezel and the case, creating a new shock-resistant structure that can withstand even a full-metal case. The band attachment section, where it receives the most impact, uses highly shock-resistant TROGAMID, reducing shock to the band attachment pipe. The band is made of soft urethane material for a comfortable fit. The case back is also solid and features a durable DLC coating for superior wear resistance. Clear visibility is also a priority, with a film solar cell and an STN-LCD (liquid crystal display) that makes the time display easy to read even at an angle. The face design, from the dial to the main display layout, is meticulously crafted, featuring an inverted LCD for a cool finish. High-density packaging technology allows the watch to maintain its compact size while incorporating the latest engine. The watch maintains its refined design while evolving the exterior and module. Functionality includes Bluetooth communication and Multiband 6, which supports timekeeping from six time calibration signals worldwide, for precise timekeeping. By connecting with the dedicated G-SHOCK Connected*1 app, the watch obtains accurate time information from an online time server. In areas with radio wave reception from one of six stations worldwide, the watch automatically adjusts the time and maintains accurate time. Casio's proprietary power-saving Tough Solar technology ensures stable operation, while the watch also features practical features like a high-brightness fully automatic LED backlight and World Time. It also supports localization with a day of the week display in six languages*2. This watch represents a legitimate evolution in pursuit of global basics, displaying accurate time anywhere in the world. While maintaining the concept inherited from the original, the GMW-B5000 boasts refined exteriors, structure, and modules for superior timekeeping quality, complete with a full metal case.
*1 This app is exclusively for G-SHOCK smartphone link models. It connects with a smartphone to automatically adjust the time and set world time, etc., via the Bluetooth-enabled "Connected Engine," and displays the latest time zone and daylight saving time information anywhere in the world. Equipped with Tough Solar, the watch enables solar power even for demanding functions.

G-SHOCK established a new concept in watchmaking: toughness. It all began with the developers' passionate belief in creating a watch that would not break even if dropped, a seemingly foolhardy challenge that overturned conventional wisdom at the time. After over 200 prototypes and approximately two years of work, the shock-resistant structure was perfected. This marked the birth of the technology at the heart of toughness. Since then, G-SHOCK has continued to evolve endlessly, striving for even greater toughness in every aspect: structure, materials, and functionality.
