<strong>Highly Visible Crystal with Inner Anti-Reflective Coating</strong><br /> The crystal uses sapphire glass, which is scratch-resistant and highly transparent. An anti-reflective coating on the inner surface of the glass reduces light reflection, improving visibility so that the time can be clearly read under any light source. This is intended to reduce stress during daily use. It also has the effect of clearly displaying the beautiful finishes on the indexes and dial.
<strong>Intuitive iPhone and Android Compatible G-SHOCK App</strong><br /> The dedicated smartphone app "G-SHOCK Connected*" allows you to operate watch functions without touching the watch itself. If the app is running, time correction is automatically performed four times a day. Various functions such as world time city settings (over 300 cities), swapping home and local time displays, and setting alarms and timers can also be operated within the app. The app is designed with a visual focus for intuitive operation, eliminating any operational hassle.
<strong>Light-Scattering Solar Panel with High Power Generation Efficiency</strong><br /> Equipped with a "light-scattering solar panel" that maintains stable and high power generation by dispersing power generation losses caused by shadows from hands across multiple cells. Because the solar panel's light reception efficiency is high, it can secure sufficient power even with low light transmittance on the dial. This allows for the realization of the MTG-B1000's high-quality and complex dial design without affecting power generation efficiency, even with three-dimensional parts and printing on the dial.
<strong>Super Illuminator for Clear Dial Recognition in Darkness</strong><br /> Equipped with a high-brightness LED, the "Super Illuminator" brightly illuminates the dial with vivid light. Visibility is significantly improved at night or in dark places, allowing for accurate comprehension of dial information.
<strong>Dual Time Correction System: Smartphone Connectivity and Standard Radio Wave Reception</strong><br /> The MTG-B1000 is equipped with a "Connected Engine" that supports time correction via Bluetooth® connection. By linking with a smartphone via Bluetooth® communication and connecting to the dedicated app "G-SHOCK Connected*", it obtains time information from internet time servers. It also features Multi Band 6, which supports standard radio wave reception in six major regions worldwide. In supported areas, the watch automatically corrects the time once a day, even without a smartphone connection. These two systems enable accurate time display in all countries and regions around the world.
<strong>Case Size That Fits Japanese Wrists Better</strong><br /> By resizing external structural parts and reconfiguring their assembly, the MTG-B1000 achieves a smaller case size compared to the previous model (MTG-S1000), with a reduction of 2.8mm in length, 1.8mm in width, and 1.1mm in thickness. This downsizing allows for a perfect fit on Japanese wrists. It will undoubtedly be a great accessory for suit styles.
<strong>Dual World Time Displaying Two Cities Simultaneously</strong><br /> Home time is displayed on the main dial, and local time is shown on the sub-dial at the 6 o'clock position. Both use a 12-hour format for easy reading. The small window to the right of the local time indicates AM and PM with A and P.
<strong>Layer Composite Band Balancing Robustness and Wearability</strong><br /> Another highlight of the MTG-B1000 is the "vivid color" that peeks through the gaps in the band. This is achieved by combining fine resin parts with metal parts. The fine resin parts have low thermal conductivity, are lightweight, and possess high strength. By placing them on the back, the band achieves both a substantial feel and comfortable wearability. Furthermore, this material is less affected by temperature, so it won't feel cold on your wrist even in the cold winter.
<strong>Combination Case Featuring Functional Beauty of Metal and Resin</strong><br /> Metal Twisted—For the MT-G, which is based on the concept of a hybrid of metal and resin, the material choice for the crown guard is also a point of interest. Separate from the metal case, the crown is designed to be covered by resin. Additionally, the resin parts are positioned on the outside of the metal parts of the crown guard, allowing the resin to absorb shocks to the crown and case.
<strong>Tough System with New Core Guard Structure and Inner Case Made of New Material</strong><br /> A new core guard structure has been developed for the metal parts of the case. By designing the bezel, case back, and lug areas (where the band is attached) in a box shape, a robust frame is created to protect the inner case. Meanwhile, the inner case housing the module uses carbon fiber-reinforced resin, achieving high rigidity that surpasses conventional resin, despite its light weight. The combination of these two elements creates a new dimension of toughness.
