The G-Shock GST-B300 returned to a more rugged G-STEEL style after the smooth look of the GST-B200. The GST-B300 is the only G-STEEL model with a front light button. The GST-B300 appears to be in the process of getting phased out in the U.S. and Europe, but stock may still be available at some retailers.
