The Casio G-Shock MRG-B5000HT-1 watch is now available in the UK. This is a premium timepiece, with only 500 units available worldwide; the limited quantity is due to two hand-hammered textured elements. It is a radio-controlled digital watch with Bluetooth connectivity and Tough Solar charging.

Casio’s new G-Shock MRG-B5000HT-1 watch has been released in the UK. This premium timepiece was rumored earlier in 2025, before being officially unveiled by the company in late July.

You can now buy the Casio G-Shock MRG-B5000HT-1 watch at the brand’s online store in the UK for £6,200. At the time of writing, there are eight units left in stock; only 500 units of this watch are available worldwide. The company offers free home delivery in two to four working days. There does not appear to be an option to pick up your order from a Casio store.

The MRG-B5000HT-1’s premium price tag is a result of craftsmanship, with each titanium bezel and bracelet hammered by hand by Kazuya Watanabe, a master in the art of tsuiki. As such, every watch has a unique textured surface. The DAT55G titanium alloy used is said to be three times harder than pure titanium, and the diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating enhances its durability.

Features of the radio controlled (Multiband 6) digital watch include support for five selected world time zones and Bluetooth connectivity, for automatic time adjustment and other tools via the Casio Watches smartphone app. On the watch, there is a countdown timer, five daily alarms and a 1/100th second stopwatch. Plus, it is water resistant to 200 m and offers Tough Solar charging. It is unclear when the Casio G-Shock MRG-B5000HT-1 watch will be released in other European countries or the UK.
