G-Shock GMW-B5000 Full Metal Square: All Models Released

Arriving for G-Shock’s 35th anniversary in 2018, the full metal GMW-B5000 series was one of G-Shock’s most successful lines of the 2010s. Modeled after the original G-Shock DW-5000 “square” case, these models have a stainless steel (or titanium) exterior and interior case, a DLC-coated screw-lock case back, an advanced Bluetooth-connected module with Tough Solar and Multi-Band 6, and a high-contrast STN LCD display.

There is a good amount of GMW-B5000 models to choose from, and the series shows no signs of slowing down. We’ve compiled a list of all the different models released so far, with new models added at the top. (The release dates are those of Japan, and the list prices are those of the U.S. The list prices are the original list prices, some of which were raised in 2020. All models are stainless steel unless otherwise mentioned.)

While I love the looks of these full metal G-Shock series, I couldn’t justify the price differentiation with its little brother, such as GW-B5600, in terms of features. The only differences between the two are the display, case, and bracelet, although their price difference 3-5 times depends on where did you make a purchase.

Still, if the full metal does offer a sapphire crystal instead of a mineral glass, it would be considered a much more justified for the price.

I wonder why prices are skyrocketed. Are some of them discontinued??
