Casio has unveiled two new versions of its iconic G-Shock watch: the GW-5000HS-7 and GW-5000HS-1. These monochrome timepieces pay homage to the original 1983 DW-5000C, while incorporating modern features for today’s watch enthusiasts.
A Timeless Design with Modern Upgrades
The standout feature of these new models is their all-monochrome look. The GW-5000HS-7 comes in a clean white resin case and band, while the GW-5000HS-1 offers a stealth black version. Both models retain the rugged, durable design that G-Shock is known for, offering a blend of style and toughness.
Built to Last with Premium Materials
Casio continues to prioritize durability with a DLC-coated stainless steel screw-back case that enhances resistance to scratches and wear. Additionally, the watches now use bio-based resin for the case and band, giving them an eco-friendly edge. This eco-conscious shift aligns with Casio’s commitment to sustainability without sacrificing durability.
Advanced Functionality for Everyday Use
Functionality is key for G-Shock, and these models deliver with features like 200-meter water resistance, world time, five daily alarms, a stopwatch, and a dual-illuminator display that improves visibility at night. The Tough Solar battery eliminates the hassle of regular replacements, while the Multi-Band 6 feature keeps time accurate with automatic updates from radio signals.
Price and Availability
The GW-5000HS-7 and GW-5000HS-1 are currently available for GBP 279 on the official G-Shock UK website. While both models are listed on Casio’s website, the exact pricing may vary.
These new G-Shock watches combine classic design with contemporary features, offering a perfect blend of style, durability, and functionality. Whether you’re a collector or someone looking for a reliable everyday watch, these monochrome models are a sleek addition to any wrist.
