I felt the need to add that preface, because I’m struggling to get excited about this new model. Called the Casio G-Shock GMWB5000TCC1, the new watch is an interesting looking piece. It’s part of their full-metal range – in this instance a titanium case and strap – with a circuit board camo design etched on top.
Elsewhere, you’ll find everything you’d expect from a G-Shock – 20 bar water resistance, solar charging through the watch face, and legendary shock resistance are all present and correct here. This model even utilises the G-Shock Connected app for added ease of use.
Because irrespective of the materials used or the cool pattern on the case, that’s a boatload of cash. For similar money, you could buy aGarmin Marq, with a full complement ofsmartwatchfeatures like health monitoring and sleep tracking. Or, you could get into a host of moretraditional watchesfrom fantastic brands like Junghans,TAG Heuer, and more.
At $600, even the “standard” variant of this model is steep, but at least that is comparatively reasonable. You still get a full metal watch there, albeit in stainless steel rather than fancy titanium. Functionally, that watch is the same as this one.

I have no doubt this watch will find its audience. G-Shock fans are notoriously hardcore, and those looking for a watch with some premium cool factors, coupled with a nod to its heritage will be right at home here – they just might end up with a wallet as light as the watch.
