G-Shock MR-G MRGB5000R-1D
Introducing the MRG-B5000, based on the first-ever G-SHOCK and crafted with the state-of-the-art metals and meticulous finishes that are the hallmark of the MR-G flagship line.
A study in metal craftsmanship, this breakthrough timepiece features case and bezel components made with the super-hard titanium alloy, Ti64. The bezel top is fashioned from COBARION, an alloy that is four times harder than pure titanium and a brilliant gleam comparable to platinum.
The bezel alone consists of 25 different components, each individually polished for a stunning detailed texture. The Multi-Guard Structure incorporates flat springs and silicone buffers to ensure outstanding shock absorption for this multi-component bezel, protecting the dedicated MR-G module with a gold-plated retainer plate for the circuit board.
In homage to the original DW-5000C-1B, one of the colour options for the very first G-SHOCK, the dial projects an iconic brick pattern and circular lines in gold colour, while the case is finished in a black DLC coating. This design is complemented with an extremely comfortable Dura Soft band made of fluoro rubber, with insert-molding of titanium components that enhance the strength of the band’s connection to the case. The top of the band is finished with textured SHOCK RESIST symbols, and the underside echoes the dial’s brick pattern.
This beautiful watch celebrates the splendour of metal and also delivers when it comes to function, with radio-controlled calibration and smartphone pairing via Bluetooth®. *COBARION® is a registered trademark of the Iwate Industry Promotion Center and is manufactured exclusively by Eiwa Corporation.

What to do with Broken Watches?
G Shock Battery Replacement
G Shock battery life ranges from two to six years, depending on how often you use the alarm or the backlight. Frequent use of either feature drains the battery pretty fast hence, the need for replacement. The life of the replacement battery, on the other hand, depends on how long it has been sitting on the shelf. Its shelf life is ten years in room temperature after which it goes through gradual degradation.
G Shock Strap Replacement
G Shock watches are known to last a lifetime, but the bands wear out after prolonged use. To replace them, place the watch facing downwards on a soft cloth, unhook the spring bars located at the base of each strap. Some models have the bars covered while others are exposed. Use a spring-bar removal tool to unhook and pull the band away from the watch. Repeat the process to remove the other spring bar. Replace them with the rod slots of the new band and use the spring-bar tool to fasten the bands. The procedure applies when replacing rubber straps. Metallic bands require a little tact hence, the need to engage a professional.
