G-SHOCK Unveils Its First-Ever Full Metal 2100 Series:

A Perfect Blend of Style and Functionality

The launch of the DW-5000C in 1983 marked a game-changing moment in the watch industry, merging rugged utility with fashion-forward design. This pioneering model introduced a shock-resistant build, establishing a new genre of "tough watches" that appealed to both wristwatch enthusiasts and outdoor adventurers. Celebrated for its versatility, the DW-5000C proved to be the ultimate accessory—whether navigating intense outdoor environments or complementing a contemporary urban look.

Characterized by its robust, worn-in aesthetic, the DW-5000C was designed to withstand the rigors of city life and intense use, enduring everything from sudden impacts to abrasive daily wear. Its unique ability to blend durability with a sleek appearance set a new standard for functional style.

Building on this legacy, the Full Metal 2100 series enhances G-SHOCK’s iconic toughness with a polished, modern edge. Retaining the octagonal shape first seen in the DW-5000C, this series introduces angular lines and a streamlined metal finish that differentiates it from its predecessors. Models such as the silver GMB2100D-1A, dark gray GMB2100BD-1A, and copper GMB2100GD-5A feature a full-metal construction with an eye-catching circular hairline finish on the bezel, evoking a sense of refined strength.

Inspired by the dimpled details of the DW-5000C, the metal band boasts a mix of polished and brushed finishes that add dimension and texture. The Full Metal 2100 range takes G-SHOCK’s signature durability and reinterprets it with a luxurious stainless steel design, combining sophistication with the brand’s iconic shock-resistant technology.

By blending innovative use of colour, materials, and finishes, G-SHOCK continues to evolve its fan-favourite designs, refining each new collection to meet modern lifestyle demands. The Full Metal series fully embraces the digital age, delivering functionality that rivals even high-end luxury competitors. One of the standout features is its integration with the CASIO Watches App, allowing users to seamlessly customise their watch experience through Bluetooth connectivity. With this app, users gain access to a suite of Mobile Link features, offering easy control over various settings right from their smartphones.

Of course, G-SHOCK’s renowned toughness remains at the core of the Full Metal series, with shock-resistant construction and a sleek, built-in Tough Solar panel that ensures a steady power supply, even in low-light conditions. The rechargeable battery supports an array of features, including five programmable alarms, a countdown timer, Phone Finder, automatic time adjustment, and world time for up to 38 cities (expandable to 300 with the CASIO Watches App). Additional functionalities include hand shift and multilingual date displays, offering customisation based on user preference.

True to its roots, the Full Metal 2100 range maintains the slim, streamlined profile seen in the GA-2100 and GM-2100 series, measuring just 12.8mm in thickness and weighing approximately 165g. These modern refinements make the Full Metal series an ideal companion for today’s digital-savvy users, delivering advanced features while upholding the iconic toughness that G-SHOCK is known for.

Despite its robust metal construction, the Full Metal 2100 series achieves a sleek and streamlined appearance through the use of high-density mounting, which efficiently consolidates its tech-packed circuit board. To protect the Tough Solar panel from impacts and external forces, G-SHOCK incorporates a specialised three-pronged mechanism at the lugs of the case. Inside the watch, finely tuned buffering components and a screw-back case work together to absorb and disperse shock, ensuring long-lasting durability.

As with all G-SHOCK models, the Full Metal 2100 range offers 200-meter water resistance and features a Super Illuminator LED, delivering excellent visibility in low-light conditions. If you're looking for a stylish watch that combines advanced SMART technology with sleek, contemporary design, explore G-SHOCK’s Full Metal 2100 range. This collection represents the pinnacle of G-SHOCK’s technological innovation, blending rugged durability with minimalist aesthetics.
