The capsule now sees a new golden and all-black iteration of the [GMW-B5000](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gshock-shockresistant) watch. Both of the timepieces boast a bezel cut in a square structure along with a face that is complete in a brick design pattern. Additional details include a Haze-designed logo as its backplate and a 42.88 mm diameter that's impact-resistant. Its bracelet and case are constructed from stainless steel materials and its upgraded design includes its negative STN LCD screen display that showcases white digits in contrast to a black digital background. Its quartz movement is powered by a battery and can be charged by Tough Solar. The watches also have a Multi-Band 6 atomic timekeeping and automatic time calibration powered by Bluetooth connectivity. The new timepieces are set to drop in November online at G-SHOCK and at select retailers. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 38% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/watches) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Full Metal Watches:** Creating new variants of full metal watches with upgraded features and designs. - **Integrating Technology in Watches:** Incorporating Bluetooth connectivity and advanced features in watches for enhanced functionality and user experience. - **Sustainable Materials in Watches:** Designing watches with environmentally sustainable materials, such as recycled metals, for a more eco-friendly approach. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Watch Industry:** Implementing new and advanced technologies in watch designs to offer enhanced features to consumers. - **Metal Industry:** Working on new material technologies that can make full metal watches more durable and lightweight. - **Sustainability Industry:** Exploring ways to reduce environmental impact in watch production by using recycled, sustainable materials and implementing more eco-friendly practices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Full-Metal Analog Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fullmetal-analog-watch.md) - [Durable Luxury Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/durable-luxury-watches-the-new-full-metal-gshock-models-are-rugged-but-eleg.md) - [Structural Metal-Made Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casio-gsteel-modern-industrial-series.md) - [Metallic Blue Dial Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gshock-gmb2100-and-gmwb5000.md) - [Rugged Fashion-Forward Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gshock-gsteel-gbm2100-series.md) - [Stealthy Durable Elegant Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gmcb2100z.md) - [Metallic All-Analog Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gshock-gsteel-gstb1000.md) - [Tough Chromatic Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gshock-polychromatic-accents-collection.md) - [Samurai Armor-Inspired Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gshock-mrg.md)
