How does the GD-B500 compare with a classic G-Shock 5600?

It is noticeably smaller and slimmer, at 46.3 mm wide and 11.0 mm thick, and adds Bluetooth and solar charging. The 5600 is bulkier and usually runs on a standard battery without phone sync.

Does it really charge from light?

Yes. Casio lists solar charging, so the dial charges from daylight and indoor light. Keep it out of a drawer for long stretches so it stays topped up.

What does the step tracker do?

It counts daily steps and pairs with the Casio app over Bluetooth so you can review activity. It does not measure heart rate or GPS distance.

Is it good for small wrists?

It is one of the smallest G-Shocks Casio makes, so it fits wrists that a full-size G-Shock overwhelms. The trade-off is smaller digits on the display.

The watch and its documentation. It charges from light, so no charger is needed.

It is a G-Shock with water resistance for everyday swimming and showering. Avoid pressing buttons underwater or in hot water.

Our take on the Casio G-Shock Compact Lime Green Digital Watch GD-B500S-3

The GD-B500 is Casio's smallest and slimmest G-Shock, with a 46.3 mm case that is 11.0 mm thick. It keeps the shock-resistant build but adds Bluetooth phone pairing, solar charging and a step tracker, which most basic G-Shocks lack. It suits people who want a tough digital watch without the bulk of a classic 5600 or Mudman. Against those rivals it trades chunky presence for a lighter, more wearable case and smart features, while keeping the same resin-and-mineral-glass construction.
