Get ready to be amazed! Casio is shaking up the watch world with its latest full-metal G-SHOCK, the GMW-BZ5000, and it's packed with cutting-edge tech and a design that's both iconic and innovative. This isn't just a watch; it's a statement.
This new G-SHOCK stays true to its roots, echoing the design of the very first G-SHOCK, but with a serious upgrade: a high-definition, high-contrast memory-in-pixel (MIP) LCD screen. What does this mean for you? Crystal-clear readability, even when you're squinting in bright sunlight or glancing at it from an angle. No more struggling to see the time!
But here's where it gets interesting: the MIP LCD allows for a flexible display layout. You can choose from four different layouts to show the date, day of the week, and dual-city time in a way that suits your style. And when you connect it to your smartphone, you get to pick your font! You can go with STANDARD, or the CLASSIC look that harkens back to the original G-SHOCK with its traditional 7-segment display.
And this is the part most people miss... The exterior design of the GMW-BZ5000 is a collaboration between human designers and AI. Yes, you read that right! The AI used design proposals from humans and ran countless simulations based on over 40 years of shock-resistance data. The result? A watch that not only looks fantastic but also fits incredibly comfortably on your wrist. The new structure features an interconnected bezel and center case, secured at the top and bottom. The sides show off intricate, three-dimensional contours, giving this full-metal G-SHOCK a whole new vibe.
The GMW-BZ5000 is also packed with smart features. The MIP LCD is entirely solar-powered, so you don't have to worry about constantly changing batteries. It also boasts time adjustment via standard radio wave reception and Smartphone Link via Bluetooth®, ensuring accurate timekeeping wherever you go.
Here's a quick look at the available models:
- GMW-BZ5000D-1: Silver
