About the Watch in Short. Representative of the latest generation G-Shock MTG with a reduced body and a rethought shock and drop protection system. The bezel and the back cover are connected by a special round frame, and between all layers of metal there are polyurethane inserts for even greater impact resistance. Designers slightly reduced the dial, but this did not affect its readability – all the necessary elements are clearly visible in any conditions. The watch module is surrounded by a reinforced polyurethane gasket reinforced with carbon fiber. Unlike the MTG-G1000, this is not a composite bracelet, but a polyurethane strap – practical, stylish and comfortable. The strap mount design has become even more reliable thanks to a successful combination of many small parts. The time is automatically adjusted by radio waves or using a Bluetooth connection with a smartphone. Other features of the MTG-B1000 include solar power, a smart Smart Access head for quick access to watch functionality, a stopwatch, timer, alarm clock, dual time on the dial and powerful backlight.



Enjoy Japanese Unique Features in MTG-B1000!

NEW CORE GUARD STRUCTURE.
An inner case is installed in a box-shaped frame formed by screws that securely connect the bezel, case back and band connection pieces. A stronger structure is realized by absorbing shocks with the exterior instead of the core.

CARBON-FIBRE REINFORCED RESIN CASE.
The case is constructed of carbon-fibre reinforced resin, which realises higher rigidity than conventional resin while maintaining its lightweight.

BAND STRUCTURE.
Fine-resin parts are firmly fixed by screws to the base of the thick, soft urethane band, which is then securely attached to the case by metal parts and large bolts. This unique, newly developed tough structure has reinforced the band connection section, where metal and resin intersect.

PREMIUM METAL FINISHING.
Sallaz polishing, said to be the ultimate polishing technology, produces exceptionally smooth mirror-finished surfaces on sloping parts of metal products. Other processing techniques such as hairline, knurling (crown) and honing (screw shafts) processing are also included in the thoroughly detailed finishing conducted by the skilled hands of craftsmen.

Enjoy our G-Shock MTG-B1000 Watch Review

Finally, having reached MTG, they immediately realized the whole essence of the premium series they represent – the design is really worked out to the smallest detail. I was looking for a long time to find fault with what, well, everything could not be so perfect, but from a visual point of view, the MTG-B1000 is my ideal. Just take a look at this detailing – the dial with a diamond-shaped lattice, and under it another smaller “hair” texture, the same texture is on the hands, hour markers, in add. windows, and generally everywhere.

Official Casio Description. These new MTG-B1000 models incorporate a new shock-resistant structure, a smaller case size, and improved fit to the wrist to create a selection of new additions to the MT-G lineup of TRIPLE G RESIST metal-and-resin combination models.
The new shock resistant structure of these models is the result of the G-SHOCK MT-G constant pursuit of improved strength and durability. A New Core Guard structure integrates the lugs and pipes that connect the band into single pieces, creating a wall that isolates the watch’s module from impact. The resin of the center case is also reinforced with carbon fibers, which further enhances module protection, while reducing overall weight.
These watches come with a new Connected Engine module for improved timekeeping accuracy. A Bluetooth® communication function makes it possible to connect with a smartphone running the G-SHOCK Connected* app and obtain accurate time information from an on-line time server.
