A MONTH ON THE WRIST: Is the shockingly light G-Shock GMW-B5000TCM in titanium worth the price premium?
In what could be seen as an appeal to Swiss watch collectors – or perhaps just those who prefer lighter watches – G-Shock decided to take their full-metal GMW-B5000 line to the next level. G-Shock has now introduced titanium into their lineup of square-faced design watches inspired by their historic G-Shock DW-5000C. I've owned mine for a month, and have plenty to say about it. Firstly, the case, band, bezel, and caseback of this model are all made of very…
VIDEO: The Top 10 watches of Virtual Baselworld 2020, inc. Hublot, Longines, Seiko, Casio and Hamilton
Any Seinfeld fans will know what I'm talking about when I say that the Home Delivery Watch Fair, where we re-created both SIHH (or Watches & Wonders, as it's known now) and Baselworld, was more akin to Kramer's version of the Merv Griffin show than it was a real watch fair. As in, it was me and a cameraperson in our studio alone, pretending we were a TV show and throwing to random footage – most of it ours from…
G-Shock's latest GMW-B5000 is off the grid, here's how they did it (frickin laser beams, man)
** It is mandatory that all readers of this post be listening to this song while they do it. Thank you for complying.** We've said it before and we'll say it again – G-Shock are losing the plot, and we're loving it. And now, to cut straight to the chase, as direct as a frickin laser beam, they've created a watch that's been fully etched by one. How did they do it? Did they drop it into a pool with sharks…
From Chris Hemsworth in Extraction to American Sniper, why G-Shocks are the ultimate bad-ass watches
"The least believable part of Extraction is that at no point do any of the 183 people that Chris Hemsworth kills mention how ridiculously good looking he is…" That's what Netflix said in a recent tweet about their new balls-to-the-wall action extravaganza that's set to become their biggest movie ever (90 million households watched the film in the first four weeks). The pleasantly ludicrous shoot-em-up finds Hemsworth weaving through a barrage of bullets in his role as Tyler Rake, a…
G-Shock are losing the plot, and we're loving it
We are only three months into 2020, and G-Shock have already been going hard — really hard. That's right, not only have they released dozens of new watches across a range of different collections since the beginning of 2020, but many of those are pretty remarkable in their own right, some tracking heart rate or surf beach conditions, with others paying tribute to Kung fu legend Bruce Lee or representing streetwear label KITH. There is genuinely something for everyone, so…
