The G-Shock GCW-B5000 series was launched with two limited edition models for the G-Shock 40th Anniversary in late 2023. It is the first Origin 5000 series with a bezel and link band made of forged carbon and also the first classic “square” with a carbon monocoque case. The use of carbon and titanium metal parts results in an extremely low weight of 65 grams, which is lighter than the GW-5000. The GCW-B5000 shares the same functions as the full metal GMW-B5000, including Tough Solar power, Multi-Band 6 automatic radio time correction, and Bluetooth smartphone link. The Bluetooth connection and Casio Watches smartphone app provide additional functions such as adjusting alarm and timer settings on the app, reminders for dates, a time & place log, automatic summer time (DST) switching, and automatic or one-touch time adjustment which is useful for those who are outside the range of Multi-Band 6 transmitters.
