G-SHOCK Full Metal — G-SHOCK Toughness in a Premium Metal Look

5 min read·Updated 28 June 2026

If you love G-SHOCK's toughness but want a more grown-up look, Full Metal is the answer. This article covers the highlights and what to know — see all G-SHOCK.

What is Full Metal?

It's a G-SHOCK with a metal case and bracelet (usually stainless steel) that keeps the shock-resistant structure inside — a premium, grown-up look with G-SHOCK toughness.

How it differs from resin models

Looks more luxurious and formal — works well with office clothes
Heavier — feels solid in the hand, but weighs more on the wrist than resin
More expensive — because of the materials and construction

Who it suits

People who want one watch for both work and casual wear, who like toughness but don't want to look too young. If you want something light for hard use every day, a resin model may suit you better.

Tip: metal cases pick up hairline scratches with wear. That's part of the character, and a watchmaker can polish them back.

Buy authentic G-SHOCK

FAQ

Is a G-SHOCK Full Metal still shock resistant?

Yes, it keeps the shock-resistant structure, though the metal surface scratches more easily than resin. The movement's toughness is still G-SHOCK standard.

Is Full Metal heavy?

Noticeably heavier than resin models because the case and bracelet are metal. If you like a solid feel, you'll love it.
