G-SHOCK has an unstoppable passion for creating watches and continuously expanding its collection. As one of the world’s leading providers of durable, versatile, and casual timepieces, the brand takes pride in its position. To cater to a wider audience and offer fresh designs and color options, G-SHOCK introduces the GD-B500S-8 watch in a captivating light gray shade.

Part of the renowned GD-B500 series, this new timepiece showcases a sleek body in a cool light gray hue, boasting a thickness of 11 millimeters. In addition to the light gray color, the watch also incorporates accents of slate gray, white, and vibrant orange on its face and buttons. One striking feature of this watch is its non-inverted (positive) display, enhancing readability in various lighting conditions. Notably, this is the only GD-B500 series watch, alongside the green GD-B500S-3, to possess a positive display.

Moreover, the watch is equipped with an accelerometer to monitor step count, a lap memory capable of storing 200 records, and outstanding water resistance of up to 20 bar. It also offers a Bluetooth smartphone link, allowing seamless connectivity, and features dual city times for added convenience. As expected from G-SHOCK, this timepiece embodies the brand’s signature resistance and durability.
