Ooh la la! Meet ‘Full Metal’ G-Shock, the watch that will make you look like an exec on the trail, but still do what you need it to do while you’re there.
Executed with a heavy-duty but still elegant stainless case, bezel, and band, the new Casio G-Shock GMB2100 scans as both tough and showy. Athletes know the foundational sports watch line for its functionality and rugged appeal.
And the GMB2100 Full Metal appears to double down on both.
The main components in the case and the band are all, in fact, metal, and carefully designed resin structures help diffuse impacts.
From there, solar-powered Bluetooth connectivity helps keep the watch stay right on time. The feature-set rounds out with 20-bar water resistance, a stopwatch, alarm settings, and a double LED light that G-Shock calls the “Super Illuminator.”.
The case’s octagonal shape calls back to the G-Shock roots. It mimics the very first G-Shock watch, Casio said, 1983’s DW-5000C.
Suffice it to say the GMB2100 looks like a distinct evolution from that piece in terms of construction. In addition to the components between the stainless bezel and case, you’ll find a “three-pronged structure” applied to the lugs.
Casio says the decision helps disperse impacts to the connective part of the stainless band.
