That steel is lovely. The bezel has a titanium look about it.
I may need that in my life....
Somewhat reminiscent of the original MR G.
Those look surprisingly superb
500 EUR ??
Intriguing. Shame they've changed the module in it, doesn't need all the Bluetooth gubbins. Would definitely like to see one in the metal.

Not for me. I've never liked the brick pattern and the metal has a cheap appearance about it.
I will get one.
Definitely.
Id like without the Bluetooth
It's just a matter of time...
That looks nice and as i have a GW5000 may try one but price would have been better around the 300 euro mark.
Clearly skim reading did not payoff for me :)
I'm hoping this is a sort of a halo model to introduce and draw attention to the series, to be followed on by less costly versions around €250-300 mark, which does feel like the sweet spot for these. It had better be brushed finish, though, I can't imagine myself liking a shiny one.
I agree with the previous posters about the unnecessary bluetooth function, but a metallic square with a screw back does appeal to the purist in me. There's also a DLC version that's limited to 500 watches, priced at 1250usd I think. It might be a gshock x porter collaboration.
Rumours are that it is polished.
Besides that, isn’t metallic construction pretty much antithetical to the whole G-Shock thing?
I would suppose that while the outer shell itself may conduct shocks much better, that just means more shock absorption has to take place on the inside. But it's not as if this is the first metal G-Shock, I'm sure Casio has an explanation what this type is better at. Crush resistance certainly springs to mind, and besides, G-Shocks have are so overengineered that even slightly poorer shock resistance is bound to keep them well within specification.
I see - still, I'm sure if these sell at all well, Casio is bound to make a polished model sometime in the future. I can't wait to see one in real life though, I'm really curious how this iconic shape works when done in metal.
The gold one does look a bit CP30.

Love the silver one, definitely going to try to get one when they’re released
Not for me - all looks a bit too shiny for a G-shock.

These are a great idea but don’t really work as a g shock imho. For comparison, take off your dw5600 and throw at a wall. The watch will survive, probably without a mark due to the resin (which is easily replaced and shrugs off abuse). Repeat with a steel cased version and you’ll probably get a nasty ding or scuff at the very least. Sure it’ll work but it will show damage more readily - so in real life it’s not as ‘tough’ as a regular £50 G shock. Still looks cool though!!

Very want.
I'm hoping for a Ti version of this, less shiny than the stainless and lighter. But if that doesn't materialise I'll be after the steel version as a "for best" g-shock if there is such a thing
Yes true, but then Rolex make dive watches out of gold so the same principle applies, I guess.
That sounds like it could be great potentially, but I'm still not 100% sure that the 5600 shape made out of metal will work for me in the first place. I've seen the silver 5600 (I believe it was an anniversary model from quite a long time ago, possibly the 20th) and I thought it looked amazing, but it was obviously resin, which could make all the difference. I also think the bracelet design could be nicer, but maybe it's just me because I never liked the combi bracelet either while many actually preferred the look ...
