What kind of watch is G-SHOCK in the first place?
I think most people know that there is a watch called G-SHOCK.
However, there are many people who do not know what the G-SHOCK is.
The concept of G-SHOCK is a watch that will not break even if dropped. This is the reason why G-SHOCK is the most famous.
Developed
a special impact resistant structure , now boasts a worldwide name.
By the way
, the G in G-SHOCK comes from Gravity, which means gravity .
There are 4 main points to choose from
The point of choosing a watch is each person.
As G-SHOCK has a wide variety of types, the price ranges
from 10,000 yen to 300,000 yen , and the functions attached differ depending on the series and model.
We will introduce the points to choose from by type.
Display type difference
In terms of design, I will introduce each series later,
G-SHOCK has
a model with a digital display and
a model with hands , so the model you choose will change depending on which one you prefer.
In fact, there are many people who immediately decide which is better between the digital type and the analog type.
This is a scene to use and it is each person's preference.
It's true that it's easy to answer because people's tastes are clearly different.
That's right!
It also has to do with how easy it is to see. I would also like to hear opinions from people who find it easier to tell the time with a digital watch, or that they find it easier to calculate the time with hands.
Also, we narrow down the options depending on whether the model is solar charging or not.
Is solar charging better?
This depends on the customer, so I will explain in detail!
Difference between battery model and solar model
Ⅰ・Characteristics of the battery model
First of all, normal batteries are said to have a battery life of about 2 to 3 years. (*The number of years varies depending on the model)
merit
- Keeps going until the battery runs out
- Cheaper than solar models
Demerit
- If the battery runs out, you need to replace the battery
- Since the time cannot be adjusted automatically, it is necessary to adjust the time if the time is off.
5600 battery series
Ⅱ・Features of the solar model
Next, the solar battery is a type that can be charged by exposing it to light.
merit
- If exposed to light such as sunlight, it will be charged and will not run out.
- Most solar battery compatible models have a time correction function
Demerit
- If you use it in a dark place or leave it in a place where it is not exposed to light, it will not charge and will run out. If it stops working, it needs to be charged by exposing it to light for a while.
- More expensive than standard battery models
Considering that it will be used for a long time, the solar model does not require the trouble of replacing the battery .
If the battery is not charging and the movement is strange, you can use it again by leaving it in a bright place for a few days. If the battery is completely depleted and it is not moving at all, it is difficult to use indoor light alone, so expose it to sunlight as much as possible.
By the way, the solar model is a combination of a solar panel that generates electricity and a secondary battery that can be charged and discharged repeatedly. It will end up.
It is said that the battery life is about 8 years or so, so if you feel that the battery is easily depleted even when exposed to light, you may be able to improve it by replacing the secondary battery.
And the type of solar charging often has a time adjustment function!
Differences in model functions
I. A model in which the watch receives radio waves and automatically adjusts the time
This model receives radio waves from the radio tower and
corrects the time on the watch .
There are 6 stations in the world, and reception is possible within the range of these radio waves. By the way, the model that can receive all the radio waves of these 6 radio towers is written as
MALTIBAND6 .
Some models may not be able to receive all 6, but don't worry if you're using them in Japan! (2 out of 6 are standing in Japan)
However, it may not be possible to receive radio waves. Radio waves are generally received in the middle of the night (midnight to 4:00 am), but radio waves can be difficult to receive depending on the environment and materials, such as building streets and concrete walls.
It will be relatively easy to receive by placing it as close to a window as possible.
Ⅱ・A model that can be synchronized with the smartphone's time (time correction) by linking with the application in the smartphone via Bluetooth connection.
By downloading a dedicated application to your smartphone and connecting it to a Bluetooth compatible model, you can
operate the screen from your smartphone and adjust the time . It can be done anytime and anywhere, and the time on the smartphone is accurate, so it is a convenient function in modern society.
Most of the solar charging models currently on sale have either or both. (Some models are not equipped with this function.)
Does a watch without a time correction function like a battery model lose time?
Since it is not possible to receive radio waves, it will inevitably be off by about 10 to 15 seconds per month.
But don't worry, you can adjust the time by yourself!
Then, you can narrow down the model based on what kind of function you want.
yes!
For those who find it troublesome to replace the battery, buy a solar battery model,
If you don't care about the battery and want a cheap one, choose the battery model.
Some people buy it.
Waterproof
Customers often ask us about water resistance.
Most G-SHOCK models are water resistant to 20 bar , so people who are concerned about water at work or outdoors can use it with confidence.
However, there are of course some caveats.
Doing so may reduce the waterproof performance or cause the inside of the glass to fog up.
- Operate the crown or buttons while underwater or when the watch is wet
- Use in hot and humid environments such as heated pools and saunas
- Soap or detergent will get on your face when you wash your hands, wash your face, or do housework
- If you use it in sea water, wash it with fresh water and wipe off the salt and dirt.
- It is recommended to replace the packing periodically to maintain waterproofness.
- The inside of the glass may fog up due to temperature changes, such as when the watch is cooled quickly.
If the cloudiness disappears quickly, there is no particular problem.
If the cloudiness does not disappear or water remains inside the watch, stop using the watch and contact the store where you purchased the watch or a Casio repair service.
It's basically waterproof! I often go to the sea in the summer, so it's just right!
And recently, I wash my hands more often than before, so it's easy to use without worrying about water!
Also, please read the instruction manual as it contains precautions for use.
If you understand the points to be careful about when handling your watch, you can use it beautifully for a longer time!
The differences in functions are also described in detail on the product page of the site, so please refer to it when choosing.
Choose by design! Recommended G-SHOCK

2100 model , but this model is very popular now. In particular, the all-black product was difficult to obtain at first, and the state of waiting for arrival continued. This has an octagonal bezel (around the watch case) that G-SHOCK has never had before, and it is the thinnest among models with a digital analog (digital display and analog hands) together.

sports line
GMD(GMA)-B800
G-SHOCK is a series that supports daily workouts by linking with a dedicated application while maintaining fashionability.
A feature of this model is that it is equipped with a function called
a 3-axis acceleration sensor , which can measure the number of steps and the pace of walking/running, and displays the number of steps on the watch. Also, when connected to a smartphone, it is possible to check the number of steps and calories burned with a dedicated app. Based on the number of steps and walking/running pace measured by the watch, the exercise intensity is determined in 5 stages. By displaying the number of steps by exercise intensity in a graph, it supports daily health management.
The size is compact and easy to put on, and it can be used by both men and women.
G-LIDE
It is a sports line that receives support from top extreme sports athletes, including the world's top surfers. The basic functions and shape are not much different, but it is a popular model for surfers and fishermen as
it allows you to see the tide graph . The design is also a little different, so there are many people who don't use tide graphs, but buy it because this design is good. There is also a model with solar radio waves, and recently a G-LIDE with a smartphone link function has also been released. Please check
the smartphone link function model at the bottom of the page for that!
But isn't it easy for people to wear popular products?
There are quite a few people who think so, but not only the model I introduced , but also the same model has a wide variety of colors , and there are limited colors and new products that are only sold at that time called one-shots. You can choose your favorite color!
Of course, if you like the standard products, you don't have to worry too much about them!
Conversely, if you don't buy it when you want it, the next time you go to see it, it's gone and production has ended, so please be careful.
There was also such a thing that the G-SHOCK that I was looking at had disappeared.
It's like a once-in-a-lifetime chance, so if you have a favorite G-SHOCK, please cherish that encounter .
Also, if you are thinking about purchasing, be sure to check out the new information!
In the second half, I will also post how to check the new information, so please check it out!
Always check if you want it.
Come to think of it, a friend who bought a G-SHOCK before said, " I bought one from the Riku series ." Is there such a thing?
Thank you!
G-SHOCK has several series divided by concept, so I will show you around.
Recommended models by G-SHOCK series
[GMW-B5000] Full metal G-SHOCK
GMW-B5000
Full metal square model. The shape is almost the same as
the 5600 series introduced earlier.
Released on the occasion of the 35th anniversary, it has become the face of G-SHOCK as a popular product. Everything from the case to the bracelet
is made of stainless steel and is shock resistant, and in addition to solar radio waves, Bluetooth connection is also possible
, so it is fully functional . It is also popular as a fashion item, and at one point it was backordered for months. Now production is stable and it is lined up in stores as a standard model, but there are still times when it is backordered. The first G-SHOCK DW-5000C was born in 1983. This is a model with a full metal square design, which is a symbol of that, and equipped with advanced technology.
First of all, the appearance of full metal. This is so cool. Even with the same square type as the first G-SHOCK, the atmosphere changes completely. Although stainless steel is used, it goes without saying that it is shock-resistant.
However, unlike the conventional shock-resistant structure, Casio developed a new structure to create this model and released it to the world. With the structure used in conventional urethane models, when it becomes metal, it cannot withstand the impact and breaks. First of all, the case part, which is the face of the watch, uses the fine resin cushioning material that is also used in the high-end model MT-G between the stainless steel bezel and case to recreate the form of the first G-SHOCK model. We have achieved a shock-resistant structure with metal as it is. In addition, the back cover uses a highly airtight screw back to increase robustness, and the DLC coating enhances wear resistance. (Many recent G-SHOCK back covers are secured with four screws.)
The connection part of the band is also devised, and the three-legged structure disperses the impact applied to the connecting pipe and shaft. This increases the strength of the band connection.
The button structure also combines a forged button and a part called an inner pipe to protect the button from the inside, which is vulnerable to side impact.
In this way, a full metal model was made with a lot of technology and ingenuity.
And although it is a solar radio model, it is also compatible with Bluetooth, so even if radio waves cannot be received, you can adjust the time with your own smartphone.
<Lineup>
standard silver color It is one that looks good on men's wrists.
It is especially easy to match with those who have a lot of silver accessories, and many people wear it as part of their fashion. It goes well with everything from mode styles to casual and street styles! Because it is silver, it can be used as a casual business watch.
CASIO G-SHOCK ORIGIN GMW-B5000D-1JF
gold color The presence of gold can be used as an accent, and the liquid crystal is an inverted liquid crystal, and the black will tighten you up, so it is very stylish to wear.
From customers in advance Gold feels nasty, right? I am often asked that, but when I try it on, I often think, "Oh, that's really cool!" smile
CASIO G-SHOCK ORIGIN GMW-B5000GD-9JF
black color Since it is all black from the face to the band, it may not be very noticeable at first glance, but the metal has a solid luster and solid feel, so it is recommended for those who like a calmer feeling than silver or gold. Of course black color is easy to match!
CASIO G-SHOCK ORIGIN GMW-B5000GD-1JF
rubber band The face is made of metal, but the band is made of rubber, so it is comfortable to wear.
AWM-500
Based on G-SHOCK's first analog/digital combination model, the AW-500, released in 1989, this full-metal version has been realized! Introducing a full metal model following the GMW-B5000!
The bezel and band are both made of hard stainless steel, and the band is a new specification developed for this model. The back cover has a screw back with DLC treatment, the bezel has a mirror and hairline finish, and the dial has a three-dimensional index to enhance the texture.
In terms of functionality, Casio's unique tough solar enables stable driving, and it is equipped with multiband 6 that supports standard radio waves from 6 stations around the world. You can read the time accurately.
Until now, Full Metal has been a digital model, but I think many people will be happy to have the option of an analog model. After all, it's nice that the AW-500 is the base model. It's an old model, but it has a sophisticated atmosphere that doesn't make you feel that, and it's highly fashionable and cool.
I think that many people have a strong image of G-SHOCK as casual and outdoor, but recently there are more and more models that can be used in clean clothes and business situations.
There are many people who match this full metal with a clean style, and it is adopted as one of the fashion items.
Personally, I really like the Full Metal model, and I always hope that this model for women will come out soon.
It's certainly cool, isn't it... It's different from the atmosphere of a normal model.
By making it full metal, of course, it creates a solid atmosphere, but it also has a casual feel that is typical of G-SHOCK, so it is recommended for mature men who are playful and fashionable men.
I thought the price was a little high, but it's reasonable considering the production...lol
Yes... (laughs)
If you know more than just the appearance, the goodness of the product will come out.
[G-STEEL] Basic G-SHOCK expressed in metal
G-SHOCK has a strong impression of resin cases, but recently
the GMW-B5000 has also received great support for metal models. Under such circumstances, G-STEEL will be
a series that expresses the basic G-SHOCK in metal .
It emphasizes the texture of the metal so that it is easy to use even in the business scene, and is characterized by its basic construction and design that assumes everyday use. There are many variations, and the atmosphere changes depending on the combination of metal and resin, or carbon, so you can choose from the combination and color that you want to use in your daily life. New models of G-STEEL are coming out more and more, and the number of inquiries from customers has also increased.
By the way, all G-STEEL use solar batteries, and the time adjustment method is divided into radio clocks and Bluetooth. If you are interested, please check the specifications of the product.
