The first full-carbon G shock Square

It all begins with an idea.

As part of G-Shock’s 40th anniversary, Casio launches two classic G-Shock “Squares” get the full-carbon treatment. As a result, these G-Shock GCW-B5000 models ( GCW-B5000UN-1 and GCW-B5000UN-6) are featherlight. The carbon material messes with your usual perception of the already-light G-Shocks. The GCW-B5000UN-1 you see here have a total weight of just 65 gram. ( To be clear it´s till heavier than a basic resin GW-M5610U-1, which weighs 52 grams)

The black GCW-B5000UN-1. It looks mostly like a regular G-Shock Square except for the characteristic carbon pattern on the watch. It immediately gives away that this is not your usual G-Shock. The look fits the design of the G-Shock Square well and shows that the original form is as relevant as ever. The watch has a negative display that complements the aesthetic perfectly to create a lively black G-Shock Square.

Wearing the G-Shock GCW-B5000UN models

Once on the wrist, the first thing that stands out is that these are top-heavy watches. The watch head is the majority of the total weight of 65 grams, so it tends to “dive down” if you haven’t closed the clasp yet. But once you’ve put the watch on your wrist correctly and secured the clasp, it is smooth sailing from there. As mentioned, when you get past that initial feel of the carbon construction, the watches are a joy to wear. They are light — very light. I sometimes almost forgot that I was wearing a watch. Then again, the standout presence of both pieces will remind you quickly that you are wearing something special.
