Hello everyone. I'm in charge of AI Isuzu G-TIME and G-SHOCK.
We have introduced various G-SHOCKs, but this time we will introduce recommended G-SHOCK models based on usage scenarios that are often asked by customers.

Features of G-SHOCK

First of all, do you know that G-SHOCK is a tough watch with shock resistance and 20 ATM water resistance?
And as basic functions, most models have functions such as stopwatch, timer, and alarm.

Depending on the model, there are models with solar radio waves, models with BLUETOOTH, and special models with sensors (altitude, direction, etc.).
Also, I think that many people have an image of resin models, but recently there are models that use metal materials (stainless steel and titanium). It's not just about functionality, but it's also evolving in terms of appearance, such as the exterior.

Basically, G-SHOCK is easy to use in any scene, but this time I would like to limit the scene.
I wrote about this in a previous article , so if you're interested, please take a look!

For outdoor work in general

Well, first of all, I would like to introduce you to those who are looking for a watch for play that is different from the watch they usually use, such as outdoors, and those who are working outside and have come to see G-SHOCK.
It is a model recommended for such people!

●DW-5600E-1

It is 5600 of the standard model.
In terms of the visibility of the time, it is recommended for those who want to read the time at a glance with a digital model!
Also, many people think that G-SHOCK is rugged and bulky, but the 5600 series is thin and not too big, so it doesn't get in the way.
If you turn on the backlight with a simple button operation, you can see it even in dark places, so you can rest assured even at night.

●GW-M5610-1JF

This is the same 5600 series model as the model I introduced earlier, but since it is driven by solar charging, it will not stop suddenly if exposed to light.
It also receives radio waves and corrects the time, so if you can receive it properly, the time will not be off.
In the case of the solar model, it is also possible to set the backlight to automatically turn on when you tilt your arm in the dark .
Recommended for those who work a lot at night.

●GA-2000-3AJF

Introducing the Digiana model.
This model uses a new shock-resistant structure called the carbon core guard structure.
The case is made of fine resin containing carbon fiber, which is strong, crack-resistant, and weather-resistant.
The core technology has evolved as a new shock-resistant structure that supports the next-generation standard of G-SHOCK.
The back cover also has a double structure to protect the back from impact.
In addition, due to the impact resistance of the button structure, the exterior design without button guards is different from the conventional impression that G-SHOCK is rugged.
There are many colors available, including safe black and white, as well as playful yellow. This time, I picked up a military-like khaki. It is often chosen as a gift.

●GWG-1000-1A3JF

This is the model that I would like to recommend.
The Mudmaster series has a special structure that allows it to be used even in extreme situations where sand and dirt are scattered .
Adopts a vibration-resistant structure that can withstand the use of large equipment such as electric cutters, crushers, and drills to eliminate huge obstacles.
In addition, we have developed a new dust-proof and mud-proof structure and equipped with a mud-resist structure so that it can be used even in sand and mud.
It's a perfect performance for those who are working on the site!
In addition, the triple sensor Ver.3 enables the acquisition of information such as direction, atmospheric pressure, and temperature, which are important when performing missions.
The details are written below, but these functions are also attractive to those who like outdoor activities!
Large indexes with Arabic numerals at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock, double LED lights, and sapphire glass are used for the windshield to ensure visibility.
Finished in a design full of military taste.

●GG-B100-1A3JF

It is the same Mad Master series as the model above, so it is recommended for those who work in the field or who want a sensor for outdoor activities!
This model is a battery type.
Using a carbon material for the case By using a highly rigid carbon material for the case, it suppresses damage and deformation due to impacts, etc., and ensures high airtightness without a metal button pipe.
In addition, it is equipped with a filter that prevents mud from entering, realizing dust and mud resistance that can withstand harsh environments .
In terms of functionality, in addition to a compact sensor that can measure direction, altitude/barometric pressure, and temperature, it has a built-in acceleration sensor that can measure the number of steps, making it a quad sensor, making it easy to understand changes in the natural environment and activity history. will give you
In addition to easy time adjustment by linking with the G-SHOCK dedicated app, there is also a function called "mission log function" that automatically records the altitude obtained by the watch and the route obtained by the GPS of the smartphone in the app.
Plot manually acquired altitude points on the trajectory.
Furthermore, based on the altitude and number of steps measured, the calorie consumption is calculated, taking into consideration the elements of going up and down, and recorded as an activity log.
With the "location indicator function", if you record your current location on the app by pressing the button on the watch, you can also display the direction to the recording point on the second hand and the distance on the liquid crystal.
In addition, a new "mode switching / customization function" is also installed.
You can set the mode ON / OFF and display switching on the application, and customize it according to the purpose, such as using only the necessary functions and changing the display order.

Fishing/surfing (tide graph)

One of the most frequently asked questions is that customers are looking for a G-SHOCK that can be used at sea.
Basically, as I explained earlier, G-SHOCK has a 20 ATM water resistance, so you can use any model in the sea or river without any problems!

Among them, the G-LIDE series is recommended for sea fishing and surfing. Because,, it's a model that knows the tide information!

I would like to introduce some of the G-LIDE series.

●GLX-5600-1JF

Based on the DW-5600 series introduced earlier, this model is equipped with a tide graph on the top of the LCD screen that shows tide information .
In addition, the metal dial and the tide graph display with a mirror finish with sputtering treatment improve the texture, and the glossy painted band and bezel give it a high-quality design.
It is a full-fledged sports line that strongly incorporates surf fashion elements by casually placing pinstripe lines found on surfboards in the same color on the band.
By the way, in the same 5600 series, there is also a solar radio G-LIDE!

●GWX-8900-1JF

This model uses a big face that allows you to quickly check the necessary information even during vigorous movement.
It expresses not only the pursuit of visibility but also the toughness of G-SHOCK. This is a solar radio model equipped with a tide graph .

●GBX-100-1JF

This model is a popular model for those who go fishing at sea or who want to be able to understand smartphone notifications.
Many people think that it is about the same as the 5600 series, but this model is a little larger and the square shape is more like a square design.
After all, it is the part where the smartphone cooperation function is installed .
Other models of G-LIDE have to set the tide information by operating the watch button, but this model can set the tide information and sunrise/sunset times around the world with a built-in dedicated application. You can select from 3300 locations and easily set them on the watch side.
Since it uses a high-definition liquid crystal called MIP liquid crystal, it is possible to display not only the visibility but also the tide graph, moon data display, high tide / low tide time, high tide / low tide level, sunrise / sunset time It is now possible. You can see the current situation at a glance.
It also has a training measurement function (distance, speed, pace, lap, pitch measurement), so it is convenient when you want to exercise lightly.
There is also a smartphone notification function, so you can check LINE and incoming calls even during fishing.
It's a convenient feature for those who don't notice notifications because they're in a bag or pocket!

Work (to match the jacket style)

We would like to introduce a model recommended for those who want to match G-SHOCK with a suit or a slightly structured style.

●MTG-B2000D-1AJF

Introducing the new B2000 model of the MT-G series.
This new model of the MT-G, which sells functional beauty that combines metal and resin (of course, it is not only that), has succeeded in evolving the metal design and reducing weight by adopting a new shock-resistant structure.
In addition to metal and resin, carbon materials are used to protect the module with an integrated structure called a carbon monocoque case, and a newly developed dual-core guard structure is covered with metal parts on the outside .
The metal parts are mirror-finished, pursuing the beauty of the finish that is the essence of the watch, and by changing the color of the case and bezel, we have achieved an impactful coloring.
While maintaining the G-SHOCK-like design, it is finished in an elegant design that is not too flashy, so it is perfect for jacket styles.
In terms of functionality, it is a solar radio wave, but it can be connected to BLUETOOTH, so if you connect to an app with a smartphone link, you can correct the time without pressing any buttons.

●GMW-B5000D-1JF

Popular full metal digital.
Digital for jackets and suits? Some people may think that, but it is a model that uses stainless steel from the case to the band and is thoroughly particular about details.
If you match it with a jacket style, it will give you a playful atmosphere that is not too tight.
Also, this model is a G-SHOCK that is popular among fashionable people, so it is also recommended for those who like clothes.
Of course, not only the appearance but also the internal structure has evolved.
First, by using a fine resin cushioning material that is also used in the high-end model MT-G between the stainless steel bezel and the case, the form of the first G-SHOCK machine is preserved as it is. is realized .
The back cover uses a highly airtight screw back to increase robustness, and the DLC coating enhances wear resistance.
And like the MT-G earlier, it uses solar radio waves, but it can be linked to a smartphone via Bluetooth, so the functionality is also high-spec.

●GST-B100-1AJF

It is a model called B100 of the G-STEEL series.
All in-dials have an analog display with a shock-resistant structure, and the iconic disk hands at the 9 o'clock position use a dual coil motor to pursue needle movement and functional beauty. increase.
The design is based on the motif of the heavy blade of a jet engine, and the combination of the fun of moving the disc needle and the dial is a unique G-SHOCK design.
Time correction with solar battery can be corrected with BLUETOOTH and smartphone link .

summary

This time, we have narrowed down the models for each scene and introduced them.

Of course, there are models other than those introduced here, and there are many types of G-SHOCK, such as the same model with different colors, and the same series with different designs. The functions may differ depending on the series, so please look for the model that suits you!
