    I like “square G-SHOCK” more than any other watch.

    POINT
    • G-SHOCK of “only bezel adopts metal cover” was released in response to the big hit of full metal G-SHOCK
    • Same functionality as basic model
    • Being a urethane band, it weighs less than half of the full-metal G-SHOCK and is easy to handle.

    GM-5600-1 with metal cover. The price will be 24,200 yen.

    I want to use a metal cover

    The full-metal G-SHOCK GMW-B5000D, also known as the “dream square G-SHOCK” introduced earlier , has become very popular but it is quite expensive (list price 66,000 yen).

    However, the “GM” series was released in response to the big hit of full metal G-SHOCK that “I want to enjoy the texture of metal!”

    Models with a “GM” prefix use metal covers on the bezels of existing models.

    Other GM series are like this.

    From MonoMax G-SHOCK developer interview page(Japanese)

    GM-110-1A, GM-6900-1, GM-5600-1 from the left.
    The “110 series” on the left is “No. 1 overseas sales ranking” . And since the “6900 series” is “a digital watch that is more popular overseas than the 5600 series”, it must have been made into a metal cover.

    All of them are pretty cool . I want this too.

    The GM-2100, which has a metal cover of the popular 2100 series, is also on sale.

    It is not full metal, but it is more than just a cheaper version. Its urethane band gives it the advantage of being “light”.

    The full metal GMW-B5000D is “167g” , but the GM-5600 introduced by Konkai is “73g” , which is less than half the weight . Arms don’t get tired easily.

    In terms of functions, it does not have solar or radio waves and is functionally equivalent to the most basic DW-5600E .

    This model also has a ladies model. It is slightly smaller in size.

    The black color model is also cool

    There are also models in different colors. Especially black is cool.
