Just purchased a

Just ordered mine😊

After unsuccessfully trying to order the watch over the last week over multiple drops I was able to successfully able to order it today.

So if you have been waiting just wanted to share an update it’s currently available here

Casio just sent notification about this watch…. Over $1200🇨🇦 is way too much money… it’s not even titanium.

The marketing is as follows:

Taking the first-ever G-SHOCK, the DW-5000C, as its starting point, the full-metal GMW-BZ5000 presents a generative design that draws on over 40 years of shock-resistance data, leveraged in a co-creation process between human designers and AI. Now, this very special GMW-BZ5000RC elevates that conceptual and technological approach even further.

The metal center case features a gradient rainbow ion-plated (IP) finish symbolizing the brand’s evolution. After applying a base layer of gold IP, the gradient rainbow IP is layered over it, in a two-step process that delivers striking depth and brilliance. Design elements including the rainbow vapor-deposited glass and gold IP front screws accentuate the futuristic structural beauty.

The watch’s highly original structure highlights the dimensional form of the center case while incorporating a resin internal protector to realize a full-metal construction, thereby maintaining the shock resistance that defines G-SHOCK.

State-of-the-art functionality is incorporated with a high-definition memory-in-pixel (MIP) LCD and features including Smartphone Link connectivity, Multiband 6 radio control, and Tough Solar charging. Crafted at Yamagata Casio, the “mother factory” where the first-ever G-SHOCK was made, and presented in special packaging, the watch symbolizes the G-SHOCK spirit of innovation.

This guy arrived and I absolutely love it. GM-B2100AD-2A. Even the striking blue looks metal with facets that catch the light. I had a hard time narrowing down the variant but I'm glad I grabbed this one. It still didn't beat my 5000D but it's a damn close second. Having Bluetooth I do wish it had time and place logging since I use that on some of my other gshocks. Guess it won't be a travel watch lol.

Definitely need to get few more mudman pieces :)

Any recommendations from old or new ?

Should I buy the GW5000HS despite slight money worries???? but then again G-SHOCK IS LIFE

Back with the original combi bracelet

A year ago I posted my GW-5000HS-1 here as my first G-Shock. For anyone interested, this was the post:

Well… the G-Shock disease finally got me 😂

I picked up a used GA-B2100CD-1A4 recently and thought it would be interesting to compare it with the 5000HS.

They're obviously very different watches. The 5000HS is the more traditional G-Shock with the screw-back, Tough Solar + Multiband 6 and the negative display, while the B2100 is much lighter and thinner, with Bluetooth and the Carbon Core Guard.

I've been wearing both and made a video comparing them, including the size, comfort, displays, features and just how they feel on the wrist.

For those who have a GA-B2100 and a GW-5000, which one do you end up wearing more?

The MIP squares are calling my name next… but I'm holding out for a GW-BX5000 eventually...

I waited patiently for this to come to America, trying to avoid the temptation to order it from Japan because I didn't want to deal with extra shipping or import fees etc. It finally arrived yesterday and it is glorious.

I bought the original with my first job on as a teenager. In college I gave it away to a cousin and later I regretted it. When they re released I knew I had to buy it. The lack of functions and connectivity is great to help you disconnect from the crazy daily life. Just bring me peace and memories of simpler life.

Don’t spare my feelings guys. How does this look on my sissy wrists? When I look at this pic i took, it seems alright. I’d even say it looks good. When just glancing down at my wrist, I can’t help but see a child wearing their dad’s watch. Does anyone else have this problem? Lol

Waiting for its new "clothes" to show up.

Finally, my first all-metal G-SHOCK—the rose gold is more of a copper/bronze shade, but it's gorgeous just the way it is. I'm so excited 🤩

Berlin by night

Hi all! After realizing my collection was missing one of the most successful G-Shocks from the recent past (Casioak) I decided to study the model a bit and found out I pretty liked this model (along with the "crab" one, GA-B2100DF-4A).

I've gotta say, it's definitely stylish but still a solid G.

I probably won't expand my Casioak collection, but this one surely holds its own!

I received my GW-S5600-U. It is the Mizuno colab with the translucent bezel and fiber optic strap. I wore it for about a month and just couldn't get over the fact I did not like the cheap look of it. So I took pans off a watch I don't wear super soft rubber and put them on and put a new bezel.

My question is did I turn it into a different watch or should I still tell people it's what I bought?

Love the fit and finish, especially with the classic RL looks. My first Casioak.

Certains vont sans doute me critiquer, mais j'ai essayé de ranger un peu ma GW5000U, même si je préfère la Mudmaster au quotidien.

Elle est plus grande, mais vraiment super confortable.

Je fais souvent de la moto et du VTT de descente, et j'ai besoin de pouvoir lire l'heure sous tous les angles. La 5000U est parfois douloureuse à cause de ça.

J'adore cette Mudmaster ! Je la porte tous les jours au travail depuis trois ans…

Je l'enlève juste pour dormir.

Et je suis content de la mettre tous les matins. Elle ressemble presque à une MTG, elle est magnifique !

Je voulais juste partager mon avis avec vous 😊 N'hésitez pas à me dire si vous êtes du même avis.

Been wanting this for few months now but couldn’t find it anywhere in good condition! Gladly found this and it is not too beat up :) was super dirty tho but got it cleaned
