The G-Shock line from Casio has long been synonymous with durability and timeless design, and this is a reputation built over decades. If you were thinking of getting one for yourself, Casio is offering the GMWB5000PC-1 - a part of the Full Metal 5000 series - at a 40% discount on its US website. Originally priced at $580, the watch is now available for $348.
The GMWB5000PC-1 rocks a stainless-steel bezel and case paired with a shock-resistant structure, staying true to G-Shock’s roots. One of its standout design choices is the blue-green color gradient applied through glass vapor deposition, which gives the digital display a unique two-tone effect. This neat aesthetic is complemented by multicolored accents on the indicators and frame as well.
On the functional side, the watch comes equipped with Tough Solar power, which removes the need for frequent battery replacements. It supports Bluetooth connectivity - which means you can pair it with the Casio Watches smartphone app to enable features like auto-time adjustment and reminders. Practical tools such as a 1/100-second stopwatch, countdown timer, and a full auto-calendar (valid until 2099) make it a reliable everyday option.
Casio claims up to 10 months on a single charge under normal use and 22 months in power-saving mode. The 200-meter water resistance should be more than sufficient for accidental splashes and even underwater conditions, and the Super Illuminator LED backlight should keep the display visible in the dark.
For G-Shock fans (or basically anyone) wanting a rugged, feature-packed watch with a unique design (not to mention the iconic full-metal build), this deal has solid value, especially when you consider that Casio's full-metal designs rarely get discounted by this much.
