Steel samurai: Casio G-Shock GMW-B5000D-1E review

Wrist Watch

The philosophy of the Casio G-Shock line is such that the user gets a watch that will not let you down in any situation. That is why these reliable, accurate and at the same time rather unpretentious watches are popular all over the world, including ours.

Not everyone knows that the G-Shock has a steel case. Today we'll talk about the world bestseller - the Casio G-Shock GMW-B5000D-1E watch, which the Japanese watch giant “dressed up” in metal clothes.

Chassis

Japanese wrist watch Casio G-SHOCK GMW-B5000D-1E with chronograph

Steel is the main material for the watch case. And the model we are considering is no exception. It looks very stylish and expensive, but there is one thing: the polished part of the case is glossy, which means it is prone to scratches. This "fly in the ointment" is more than compensated for by the satin-finished bezel. Why? According to statistics, this structural part of the hull is the first to suffer from blows. But on a satin-finished surface, small scratches will be practically invisible.

Screen

The steel case of the updated model brought with it another innovation - the screen manufacturing technology. Now the watch screen is made using STN-LCD technology, which improves the readability of time readings from different angles. In addition, the reading of time in the dark has improved. The screen itself is hidden under durable and reliable mineral glass.

Bangle

The bracelet has also been innovated. The metal case matches the bracelet with a push-button lock located on the sides of the clasp. This prevents the possibility of accidental opening of the bracelet at the most inopportune moment. We add that the bracelet is cast and creates a pleasant weight on the wrist when wearing the watch.

Functionality

Let's move on to the functionality of the watch. Fortunately, there is something to tell about. Firstly, the Russian language is now available in the settings. And the day of the week on the display screen is displayed on "great and mighty". Secondly, the owner gets a huge set of options that can be useful in a variety of life situations. The world time function is relevant for those who often travel on business trips or travel to different continents, the alarm clock will not let you oversleep an important meeting, the stopwatch will allow you to track the duration of any event, and the timer is useful in everyday life. But this, of course, is not all.

Work with the application

The watch is equipped with a Bluetooth-module, through which the watch communicates with a special application G-Shock Connected, supported by IOS and Android platforms.

The application allows you to synchronize your phone with the clock, transmitting the exact time. In addition, you can mark your presence on the map by pressing just one button. This will allow you to always easily remember where and when you were in a particular place. All you need for this is the Internet and connected Bluetooth. Convenient, right? Also, using the application, you can manage notifications, alarm clock, timer.

Synchronization with time signals

If it is not possible to work with the application, then the function of synchronization with the signals of the exact time, which is transmitted at a certain frequency by towers located in six different parts of the world, will come to the rescue. This function is reminded by the inscription Multi band 6.
