The G-SHOCK MTGB3000BD1A is the latest addition to the brand's timepiece collection that promises an impressive range of capabilities inside a decidedly slim package. The watch boasts an updated construction over the previous versions that a case that measures in at just 12.1mm in thickness. The signature shock resistance built into the timepiece is achieved thanks to the new Dual-Core Guard structure that protects without adding too much heft.

The timepiece boasts a sapphire crystal lens along with Sallaz-polished surfaces, while the interchangeable band system allows for quickly swapping out the strap for a different style.
