Is the GMW-B5000 worth it over a resin square G-Shock?

If you want the metal look and feel, yes. You pay a large premium over resin squares for the steel case and band, but the module features are similar.

Does it need a battery change?

No routine battery changes. Tough Solar charges from light, and the rechargeable cell is meant to last years.

Does it work without a phone?

Yes. Multi-Band 6 radio control sets the time from atomic transmitters, and Bluetooth is optional for app sync and settings.

How water resistant is it?

It is rated to 200 meters, suitable for swimming and diving, though not for saturation diving.

The watch, a display box, and paperwork. The band is sized with removable links, so you may need a small tool or a jeweler to adjust it.

Full-metal squares rarely discount deeply. Watch for seasonal sales at authorized dealers rather than expecting large drops.

Our take on the G-Shock GMW-B5000

The GMW-B5000 is Casio's full-metal take on the original square G-Shock, with a stainless steel case and solid steel band around the classic 5000-series shape. It keeps the square's toughness but adds Tough Solar charging, Bluetooth sync with the CASIO WATCHES app, and Multi-Band 6 atomic timekeeping. Water resistance is 200 meters and the crystal is mineral glass. The best new price is $440 at Casio America as of November 3, 2026, and three stores list it new.
