Casio unveils new, solar-powered G-Shock GW-5000 Series watches

2 weeks ago 19

Casio has launched two new monochrome versions of its classic G-Shock watch, the GW-5000HS-7 and GW-5000HS-1.

These new models take the iconic square G-Shock design from the 1983 DW-5000C and add modern features like Tough Solar charging and Multi-Band 6 radio timekeeping.

The main draw of these models is their sleek, all-monochrome look. The GW-5000HS-7 comes with a white resin case and band, while the GW-5000HS-1 offers a stealth black version.

Both maintain the rugged construction G-Shock is known for, with a DLC-coated stainless steel screw-back case for added durability and scratch resistance. Casio has also switched to using bio-based resin for the case and band.

Functionality is a priority as well, with both watches offering 200-meter water resistance, world time, five daily alarms, a stopwatch, and a dual-illuminator display for better visibility at night.

The Tough Solar battery eliminates the need for frequent replacements, and the Multi-Band 6 feature ensures accurate time updates through automatic radio signals.

Price and availability

Both watches are now available on the official G-Shock UK website, priced at GBP 279.

These watches are also listed on Casio Philippines website, but there is no price available as of this writing.

JM's highest stat is probably his curious ardor to anything tech—electronics and gaming in particular. He certainly heeds utmost regard to specsheet, visuals, and rule of thirds. If creativity and wit sometimes leave JM's system, watching films, anime and a good stroll for memes are his approved therapeutic claims.
