The thick wire face protector known as a “bull bar” (or bullbar) isn’t as common as it used to be but is still a popular accessory with G-Shock owners. It used to be included with some early G-Shock models and became a popular accessory in the 1990s with skateboarders and military users. The bull bar offers extra protection against impacts and scratches and gives the watch an extra-rugged look. It is also one of the few ways you can trick out your G-Shock to make it more unique. These days official bull bars are only available on the extra-large GD-400 models (amazon), import DW-5600P watches (see below), the import GLS-6900 series, and some Baby-G watches.
Whether the bull bar offers a significant amount of extra protection to an already very tough watch is up for debate, but they are still popular enough for manufacturers to produce them. A bull bar protector can end up leaving marks on the watch body so be cautious about using them on rare limited edition models.

I’ve never understood the need for or appeal of bull bars. Their equivalents make sense on scratch prone watches like a Swatch. On a G-Shock, they just seem like they would do more harm than good (as mentioned).
