The G-STEEL GST-B500 Series Gets a Slim Design Update
The G-STEEL GST-B500 series was recently unveiled by G-SHOCK and it essentially adds a refined iteration of the GST-B400 timepiece. This marks the slimmest model by the brand yet and features a range of sleek and minimal designs for the season.
It has a profile that measures out to be 12.8mm complete with a stainless steel band with mixed materials making up the case. This includes a negative LCD with a tonal dial that marks the difference between each model. The capsule also takes some design language from the GA-2100 and the GST-B400, which dials in on the LCD specifically. It is now consolidated at the lower right side of the dial with the incorporation of Touch Solar Power and Bluetooth link.
