Casio Unveils GMW-BZ5000: A New Era for Full-Metal G-SHOCK Watches

Casio Computer Co., Ltd. has officially announced the launch of the GMW-BZ5000, the newest full-metal model in the iconic G-SHOCK 5000 line. Staying true to the unmistakable square design of the very first G-SHOCK, this latest release blends heritage styling with cutting-edge display and structural innovation.

Guided by the Casio Purpose — “Through the power to put wonder at hand, bring new levels of joy to lives one by one” — the brand continues to challenge conventional watchmaking. G-SHOCK timepieces have long represented toughness and reliability, and the GMW-BZ5000 reinforces that legacy with next-generation technology and design.

First Full-Metal G-SHOCK with MIP LCD Technology

The GMW-BZ5000 marks a major milestone as the first full-metal G-SHOCK to feature a high-definition Memory-in-Pixel (MIP) LCD. This advanced display delivers high contrast and a wide viewing angle, ensuring excellent readability even in direct sunlight or when viewed from the side.

Thanks to the flexibility of the MIP LCD, users can choose from four different display layouts, allowing customization of date, day, and dual city time. When paired with a smartphone, wearers can also select between two display fonts:

• STANDARD, for a modern digital look

• CLASSIC, inspired by the traditional 7-segment display that defined the original G-SHOCK

AI and Human Designers Shape a New Fit

One of the most innovative aspects of the GMW-BZ5000 is its AI-assisted exterior design. Casio combined proposals from human designers with generative AI technology, using over 40 years of accumulated shock-resistance data to run repeated load simulations.

This process led to a newly developed structure that departs from the conventional bezel design. Instead of fully covering the center case, the interconnected bezel and center case are secured at the top and bottom, resulting in improved comfort and fit on the wrist. The exposed sides reveal intricate, three-dimensional contours that give the watch a bold and modern appearance.

Advanced Functionality with Solar Power and Smart Connectivity

Beyond design, the GMW-BZ5000 delivers robust functionality. The newly developed solar-powered MIP LCD allows the watch to operate efficiently without compromising performance. For precise timekeeping, the watch supports both standard radio wave reception and Bluetooth® Smartphone Link, offering seamless and reliable time adjustment wherever you are.

A Bold Step Forward for G-SHOCK

With the GMW-BZ5000, Casio successfully merges classic G-SHOCK DNA with modern display technology, AI-driven design, and enhanced comfort. This release not only honors the legacy of the original G-SHOCK but also sets a new benchmark for what full-metal digital watches can achieve.
