G-SHOCK continues to innovate within its robust lineup of timepieces with the introduction of the GD-B500S-8 in light gray, a new addition to the GD-B500 series. This model stands out with its sleek design and a light gray color scheme, coupled with advanced functionality tailored for both everyday wear and active use.

The GD-B500S-8 is characterized by its slim profile at only 11 millimeters thick, making it one of the more streamlined offerings in the G-SHOCK range. It boasts a Bluetooth smartphone link, an accelerometer for step counting, and a 200-record lap memory, making it ideal for fitness enthusiasts. The watch’s aesthetic is enhanced by its non-inverted (positive) display which provides better readability under various lighting conditions, and its multi-piece bezel design offers a modern look with a nice contrast between gray and white components.

In addition to its standard tough features like shock resistance and water resistance up to 200 meters, the GD-B500S-8 offers dual time, a full auto-calendar, and multiple alarms, catering to the needs of those with an active lifestyle. Currently, this model is available in China and Taiwan and is expected to release soon in Singapore and the United States. The anticipated retail price in Singapore is S$189.
