Features of the GMW-BZ5000
The GMW-BZ5000 is a Full Metal model from the 5000 series, designed to minimize shock transmission. It has a stainless steel body, with dimensions of 49.3 x 43.6 x 13.0 mm (about 1.9 x 1.7 x 0.5 inches), and includes a screw lock back with a steel strap. The watch features an MIP LCD display with eight display options, offering two number styles and four layouts. This watch is radio-controlled (Multiband 6) and includes Bluetooth connectivity for automatic time updates and other features through the Casio Watches app. You can switch between two selected time zones, use a stopwatch, a timer, and set multiple daily alarms. Additionally, there’s an LED backlight for easy reading in dim light, Tough Solar charging, and it’s water-resistant up to 200 meters.
Launch Speculations
This news contradicts prior speculations that the GMW-BZ5000 watches wouldn’t be available internationally until early 2026. It’s still unclear when the Casio G-Shock GMW-BZ5000D-1, GMW-BZ5000BD-1, and GMW-BZ5000GD-9 will be launched in Europe, or in markets like North America.
