About the Watch in Short. Perhaps the most popular and technological steel jishoks from the G-Steel line. The case is partially made of stainless steel with polyurethane inserts – now even stronger. In addition to the shockproof housing design, the module is protected from vibration by alphaGel shock-absorbing material. The design of the dial is very similar to the theme of aviation – the window at around 9 o’clock rotates like an airplane’s turbine, and both other windows look like instruments in the cockpit. The watch provides the ability to synchronize with a smartphone via Bluetooth – to configure functions and adjust the time. Pairing is done with just one click of a separate button. Do not worry about replacing the battery – the GST-B100 is powered by sunlight and daylight. The Smart Access crown allows intuitive and quick access to all watch functions.

Enjoy Japanese Unique Features in GST-B100!

CARBON BEZEL.
The carbon composite bezel is constructed of resin amalgamated with a lightweight, highly rigid TORAYCA®1 carbon-fiber material developed by applying NANOALLOY® technology.2 After layers of unidirectional fibers are alternately stacked in the vertical and horizontal directions and bonded together, the resulting laminated material is cut into the form of a bezel. It is then finished in a pyramid-shaped design inspired by an metal file.

ROTARY DISK.
A rotary disc inspired by jet engine blades is mounted at 9 o’clock. The battery level and remaining time on the timer are indicated by a red marker that is visible through the clearance of the blades.

LAYER GUARD STRUCTURE.
The bezel structure combines two layers, a metal layer and a resin layer. Six front screws attach it firmly to the forged stainless-steel case, adding a tough finish to the powerful exterior.

TOUGH SOLAR.
Tough Solar converts sunlight or artificial light to ample power to assure stable operation of multiple functions. The system supports a solar-powered Smartphone Link function with a heavy load capability.

Okay, this may be just enough for the overview… Certainly not (that was a clumsy joke): the watch deserves a full immersion in the details, and that’s just what we are going to do.

Official Casio Description. From G-SHOCK, the watch that always strives for toughness, the first G-STEEL lineup models to offer chronograph performance in analog format.
Thought all the dials of these models are analog, they still boast G-SHOCK level shock resistance.
The dial at 9 o’clock has a multi-functional rotating disk that is cut to resemble the thick blades of a jet engine. Rotation of the blades reveals red coloring behind the disk, and this change in color is used to indicate the battery level and the alarm on/off setting. The blades also rotate in the Timekeeping and Stopwatch modes to with the passage of time.
A new layer guard structure houses resin cushioning parts inside the case, for a more elegant design and a better fit to the wrist. High density mounting technology makes it possible to create a module that is smaller and thinner, which also contributes to a better fit.

    I just ordered this watch. Love the idea of the bluetooth time settings and adjustments.

    Pros: unique digitally-controlled highly complex analog watch. Great metallic details. Cons: the 3 hands don’t hit their marks, which can be confusing when determining minutes or seconds. Navy blue watch band is off-putting (should be black and/or metallic to fit the watches color scheme) and finding replacement is challenging. Little published info on compatible bands exists.
