The pre-order event for the new Casio G-Shock DW-5000R-1AJF watch in Japan ended after the wearable sold out. The model is also no longer available to order at many major retailers in the country. This Casio G-Shock watch will be released later in December and is also coming to markets worldwide.

The Casio G-Shock DW-5000R-1AJF is currently sold out in Japan on the brand’s website. The new model became available to pre-order on December 1st, where it is reported to have sold out in five minutes. The wearable was also listed at other online stores in the country, but it appeared to sell out at most major retailers here within a few hours.

The DW-5000R celebrates the original G-Shock model. Its features include a 1/100-second stopwatch, multiple alarms and a fully automatic calendar. Plus, an LED backlight and afterglow tool makes it easier to read the watch face in low lighting. Design-wise, the model has a stainless steel case and resin band, with a similar appearance to the older wearable. As well as the DW-5000R, Casio has launched four other models to celebrate this new wearable.

In Japan, the DW-5000R-1AJF will be released on December 13th, so it could be that more stock arrives at this time. Casio recently announced the upcoming international launch of the DW-5000R watch. However, it has yet to confirm the global release date and pricing for the wearable. In the meantime, you could consider other smarter models like the G-Shock Move DW-H5600, a solar charging watch that connects to your smartphone via Bluetooth and offers a heart rate sensor. At Amazon US, it is currently available for $275.
