Casio has introduced two fresh G-Shock models in the UK, namely the GW-5000HS-7ER (white) and GW-5000HS-1ER (black). These watches blend the brand’s well-known toughness with eco-friendly features. They are priced at £279 (around $353) and keep the classic square shape of the original model from 1983 while embracing modern sustainability practices, which include components made from bio-based resin.
Eco-Friendly Design
The bezel and straps of both models are made with bio-based resin, which comes in part from renewable sources, helping to lessen environmental harm while maintaining their ruggedness. These timepieces also boast a DLC-coated stainless-steel case for scratch resistance, a water resistance of up to 200m, and Casio’s exclusive shock-resistant design.
Advanced Features
Both G-Shock models, the GW-5000HS-1ER and GW-5000HS-7ER, come with significant functional improvements such as Tough Solar charging that removes the need for disposable batteries and Multi-Band 6 radio timekeeping for precise timekeeping. They include standard features like World Time, five daily alarms, a stopwatch, and dual LED lights. Assembly of both watches takes place at Yamagata Casio, the same factory that created the first G-Shock in 1983.
Targeting Enthusiasts
Although these watches cost more than most resin G-Shocks, the GW-5000HS series is aimed at fans looking for a mixture of tradition and eco-friendliness. As stated earlier, the watches are currently available on G-Shock’s UK website. Don’t forget to check our News Section for more updates on the latest happenings.
