Three months on your wrist with this essential watch!

Since its launch in 2018, the G-Shock Full Metal collection has met with great success with the media and consumers. Among the many variations offered, the Red Ion GMWB5000RD-4 model stands out for its look that is both trendy and robust. A look back at three months spent in his company.

An iconic design revisited in purpurin red metal

The G-Shock Full Metal Red Ion GMWB5000RD-4 takes up the aesthetic codes of the very first G-SHOCK, the DW5000C from 1983, with its square case measuring 49.3 x 43.2 mm and its digital display dial equipped with a distinctive โ€œbrickโ€ pattern. Everything is enhanced by a purpurine red shade called โ€œRed Ionโ€, which brings a touch of modernity to this timeless classic.

The flat bezel features a brushed finish and signature G-Shock engravings, while the rest of the case plays the polish card, with discreet brushed accents on the links of the integrated metal bracelet.

A feeling of robustness and elegance on the wrist

With its 96 grams (compared to 52 grams for the GWM5610-1 in resin), the G-Shock Full Metal Red Ion is clearly felt on the wrist, giving it a more formal side than classic resin models. However, it remains no less robust and ready to face all situations, thanks to its solid and well-finished construction:

  • Screwed bottom
  • Alternation of polished and brushed surfaces
  • Slightly larger and firmer pushers for more pleasant use
  • A feature-rich dial, true to the G-Shock spirit

    In addition to its inverted LCD display (light numbers on a dark background) which gives it a more assertive look, the dial of the G-Shock Full Metal Red Ion is full of practical functions, including:

  • Bluetooth connectivity for pairing with the G-Shock app
  • Multi-Band 6 Atomic Timekeeping technology for optimal precision
  • Chronograph at 1/100th of a second
  • LED lighting for nighttime readability
  • World time indication
  • 4 daily alarms
  • Countdown timer
  • Waterproof to 200 meters, this G-Shock is also equipped with โ€œTough Solarโ€ technology, ensuring almost unlimited battery life as long as it is worn regularly and exposed to light.

    A convincing model, as comfortable in the city as in action

    Priced at $600, the G-Shock Full Metal Red Ion GMWB5000RD-4 offers fans of the brand and newbies a robust and well-built watch, integrating the best of G-Shock technology and design. Its bright red color proved surprisingly easy to match with most of my outfits, allowing it to become a lasting part of my watch rotation since its acquisition.

    After three months on my wrist, it is clear that this G-Shock Full Metal Red Ion has won me over with its versatility and unique look. A watch that will please all those looking for a piece that is trendy, reliable and capable of accompanying them on all their adventures, whether they take place in the city or in the great outdoors!
