All good things have a beginning. For the venerable G-SHOCK watch, that beginning was the DW-5000C, a shockproof and waterproof watch that took the world by storm with its release. And for decades since, the G-SHOCK has been the be-all-end-all timepiece for discerning watch wearers who value durability and reliability for their EDC.
Over the years, countless models of the G-SHOCK watch have been released, but the original still carries a strong appeal. This year brings a reissue of the watch, giving it a premium upgrade with a stainless steel bezel, case, and band that gives this classic timepiece a modern fit, finish, and set of features. And with improvements to the internal tech of the watch, the new GMWB5000MB-1 is the definitive edition to pick up this year.
The GMWB5000MB-1 is the most sophisticated edition of this model released to date. The stainless steel bezel features a hairline polished finish that contrasts handsomely against the matte black case and band. The band surfaces, screws, and buttons are also treated with a mirror finish. The black ion plating on the entire watch adds to the durability of this extraordinarily shock-resistant and water-resistant wristwatch.
The highly-legible digital face features a super-twisted nematic LCD for superior contrast, and behind it sits G-SHOCK’s Super-Illuminator LED backlight for easy reading in the dark. A few quality of life upgrades come with this edition: the watch now features solar-powered timekeeping. It also links with most smartphones with Bluetooth and radio control to sync the time based on your geographic location and remind you of important events. When you lose track of your phone, you can also take advantage of this link to cause your phone to ring when you need it.
With the GMW-B5000 series, G-SHOCK has taken their groundbreaking watch–the watch that started the entire mythos of the G-SHOCK line–and made it even greater than before. It’s the epitome of what that original design could accomplish and more. With its premium build and attention to detail, this is the G-SHOCK you should buy today whether you’re looking for a new everyday carry watch or looking to add to your collection.
