Meet the new G-shock collection, 10 years in the making, that’s characterized by a metallic appearance: the G-Steel Fine Metallic Series.
Every timepiece featured in this new series draws inspiration from the GM2100 and GM5600, both manufactured from high-end materials. The collection has four different watches—two in a silver colorway, and the rest have a gold finish that’s quite stylish.
While G-shock rolled out timepieces with metallic casings in the past, this is the first time it unveiled its Tough Silicone band (after a decade in development). Apart from improving the comfort levels, the silicone band is quite durable. The top section is layered with a urethane sheet to protect it from scratches. It also comes with a metallic finish — silver or gold — that adds to the whole look and complements the bezel.
G-shock worked on analog and digital models but gave them different looks—one of the reasons why this collection features four watches.
The analog series has two watches—GM2100YM-8A and GM2100YMG-9A.
GM2100YMG-9A is the gold variant. GM2100YM-8A is the silver version.
The digital series, on the other hand, is also made up of two different watches; GM5600YMG-9 and GM5600YM-8.
GM5600YM-8 has a silver look, while GM5600YMG-9 stands out due to the gold colors.
When it comes to the overall performance, each watch in the metallic series features a countdown timer, world time functionality, an alarm, and a stopwatch.
Prices range from $240 to $280, depending on the finishes and materials used on each watch.
