G-Shock GMW-BZ5000RC-1 “Full Metal Rainbow” video review by WatchDavid
May 16, 2026
YouTuber WatchDavid reviews the G-Shock GMW-BZ5000RC-1 in his latest video. This limited edition watch is the first full metal GMW-BZ5000 model to be released after the three launch models, and it features a unique rainbow ion-plating on the center case which is mostly visible from the sides of the watch. This watch has been selling quickly and is likely to sell out eventually, but it is still available at some U.S. retailers such as topperjewelers.com and exquisitetimepieces.com for $880.
WatchDavid has a poll to vote for your favorite GMW-BZ5000 model at youtube.com, and we also recommend his original GMW-BZ5000 launch video (youtube.com) showcasing the silver, gold, and black and gold models, which start at $660.
