The GWN1000GB-1A offered at $550USD also features Triple Sensor technology but adds a barometric pressure alarm to alert of sudden drops in air pressure as well as tide indicator and moon age data.

Hand assembled in the Yamagata factory in Japan, the newest additions to the MT-G watch family showcase the latest high torque 'dual core' motor enabling a quick hand motion both clockwise and anti-clockwise. Timekeeping is captured using a GPS Atomic Solar Hybrid feature that combines GPS satellite radio wave reception with Multi-Band 6 radio waves, powered by Tough Solar technology. Triple G Resist (Shock Resistance, Vibration Resistance and Centrifugal Force Resistance) is achieved by a new shock absorbing core guard structure, comprised of a framework linking the bezel and case back, allowing the module to "float". This shock absorbing structure was modeled after a leaf spring of a car.
The MTGG1000BS-1A and the MTGG1000GB-1A both feature sapphire glass with anti-reflective coating for superior scratch resistance and clarity and a Panel Composite Band made of solid stainless steel & Fine Resin for a light weight, comfortable wear while maintain high durability and the solid feel of metal.

About G-SHOCK
CASIO's shock-resistant G-SHOCK watch is synonymous with toughness, born from the developer Mr. Ibe's dream of 'creating a watch that never breaks'. Over 200 handmade samples were created and tested to destruction until finally in 1983 the first, now iconic G-SHOCK hit the streets of Japan and began to establish itself as 'the toughest watch of all time'. Each watch encompasses the 7 elements; electric shock resistance, gravity resistance, low temperature resistance, vibration resistance, water resistance, shock resistance and toughness. The watch is packed with Casio innovations and technologies to prevent it from suffering direct shock; this includes internal components protected with urethane and suspended timekeeping modules inside the watch structure. Since its launch, G-SHOCK has continued to evolve, continuing to support on Mr. Ibe's mantra "never, never give up."
