G-Shock GW5000U-1 is now available from Casio America
February 14, 2023
Following the very limited availability from Hodinkee, the G-Shock GW5000U-1 is now available directly from Casio America for $300. This fan-favorite model, inspired by the original G-Shock watch, has a stainless steel case and screw-back with DLC coating, Tough Solar power, and Multi-Band 6 automatic radio time adjustment. The GW5000U-1 is also known for having a softer and more comfortable band than other square models. This is the first time that Casio America is offering a non-limited GW-5000 model for sale. The previous GW-5000-1 was a Japan-only model that was frequently bought by fans outside of Japan as an import, and the GW-5000U-1 with an updated module and LED light was initially available in Japan and Europe. Although the made-in-Japan GW5000U-1 is not a limited edition release, it’s not known how many units Casio America has available or if will be offered in the U.S. indefinitely. (The GW-5000U-1 is also available from Casio Singapore.)
