help Casio G-Shock GW-5000 FAQ
What makes the Casio G-Shock GW-5000 different from cheaper square G-Shocks like the DW-5600?
The GW-5000 features a stainless steel screw-back case with a diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating, unlike the standard resin case back used on the DW-5600. It also includes Tough Solar charging and Multi-Band 6 radio time sync, which the basic DW-5600 lacks, making it a premium reinterpretation of the original square G-Shock design.
Does the GW-5000 have Tough Solar and Multi-Band 6?
Yes, the GW-5000 includes both Casio's Tough Solar technology for light-powered charging and Multi-Band 6 radio-controlled timekeeping. Multi-Band 6 receives time calibration signals from six transmission stations worldwide, including stations in the U.S., U.K., Germany, China, and two in Japan.
Is the GW-5000 case made of metal or resin?
The GW-5000 has a stainless steel inner case with DLC coating concealed beneath a resin exterior shell, along with a stainless steel screw-back case back. This metal construction is what distinguishes it from entry-level all-resin square G-Shocks and contributes to its higher price point.
