G-Shock GBD-200UU and GLX-5600RT: New summer colorways for running and surfing series
April 24, 2022
G-Shock is adding more colorways to the GBD-200 fitness series and the GLX-5600 surfing series.
The GBD-200UU series features urban-themed colors with the black GBD-200UU-1 and white (or more of a dullish off-white) GBD-200UU-9 [sic]. These models have a very matte appearance that will match well with athletic wear and shoes. The GBD-200UU is an advanced G-SQUAD fitness model designed for runners with a high-contrast MIP LCD display, step counter, Bluetooth smartphone link, running training program, stopwatch, interval timers, and vibration.
The GLX-5600RT series features bright summer-themed colors and metallic faces with the orange GLX-5600RT-4 and yellow GLX-5600RT-9. The GLX-5600RT is a G-LIDE surfing model featuring a tide and moon graph and an approximate 7-year battery life. Other features include world time, 1/100-second stopwatch, 24-hour countdown timer, 3 multi-function alarms* with 1 snooze, flash (sound and EL light) alerts (for alarm, hourly time signal, timer, and stopwatch auto start), and EL backlight with adjustable afterglow.
In Japan, the GBD-200UU-1JF and GBD-200UU-9JF have a tax-included price of 22,000 yen and the GLX-5600RT-4JF and GLX-5600RT-9JF have a tax-included price of 13,750 yen. All four models are slated for a May release, with other regions expected to follow.
* The multi-function alarms on the GLX-5600 are like the one on the DW-5600 and include the following modes: daily, date (time at specific date), 1-month (time daily during the month set), monthly (time on specific numbered day every month).
Update: G-Shock U.S. is releasing the GBD200UU-9 for $150 and the GLX5600RT-4 and GLX5600RT-9 for $99 each.
