If you aren't familiar with G-Shock's Full-Metal Range by now, you will after reading this blog. G-Shock metal watches have been no stranger to the watch world for many years now, but they've reached a new peak with the release of the GMWB2100AD-2AD and GMWB5000-D2.

Combining G-Shock's signature indestructibility with their latest Tough Solar and Bluetooth technology, these two models are as solid as they are functional. Connecting with the Casio watches app via Bluetooth allows you to change any settings necessary and will automatically change the time when travelling to new time zones. While the Tough Solar movements allow for practically unlimited battery life (10 months without any exposure to light).

Both of these G-Shock watches are Japanese-made, which isn't always the case for any G-Shock watch, with many being made in Thailand or China. 

Both of these models also include strong design language through their classic Casio case shapes chiselled from stainless steel. Their beautiful blue dials make a statement anywhere you go.
