The G-Shock GM-5600 Metal Bezel Watch has been unveiled by Casio as a new affordable timepiece that calls to mind 80s aesthetics in a dark, futuristic manner. Priced starting at $180, the timepiece is a modern version of the squarish watch first debuted by the brand in 1983 and boasts a durable stainless steel bezel for a tougher finish. The watch is paired with the brand's signature shock resistance along with 200 meter water resistance, countdown timer, stopwatch, multifunctional alarm and more.
The G-Shock GM-5600 Metal Bezel Watch comes in black and silver versions, and is further accented by a negative LCD display that gives it an even darker aesthetic. This helps the watch work well with both casual and formal attire without looking out of place.
