The GD-B500 is a compact, minimalist design from G-SHOCK, a tough watch that has continued to evolve in pursuit of ever-increasing strength since its launch in 1983. The GD-B500 digital model has been made smaller and thinner to meet the needs of the times while still maintaining its toughness, and aims for a futuristic image with a minimalist design that has been stripped of all unnecessary elements. The case diameter is 46. 3 x 41. 5 mm and the thickness is 11 mm, which is significantly smaller than previous G-SHOCK models. In addition to the classic black and white, an energetic fluorescent green is used, and the lug parts of the band are made of skeleton material (B500S only). It also has functions that are useful for daily health management, such as smartphone linking and a step counting function. The GD-B500's design reveals new possibilities for G-SHOCK.
