I saw these on Gee's IG post. I love them. BUT... no silver with positive display or black with positive display is a miss. I'm not opposed to gold, I actually quite like it. Also, I have not owned an MIP model, so I'm trying to keep an open mind that a negative MIP isn't actually a bad thing.

Or....... it is possible with MIP to have it switchable between positive and negative.

As far as the construction goes, I would actually love to see a carbon case with metal bezel like some of the G-Steels. The bi-color and bi-material construction shaves some weight and makes them appear and look slimmer. Or if these are all metal, maybe the MIP module will allow a little slimmer case. I love my GMW-B5000s, but they are heavy and kind of thick.

This site (https://www.notebookcheck.net/Brand...io-G-Shock-GMW-BZ5000-leak-reveals-case-redesign-and-MiP-display.1024736.0.html) is saying they are all stainless steel: "Each one of the above keeps the familiar stainless steel construction but features a redesigned case with side modules that appear removable or at least newly constructed." Unless they have an inside line that G-Central doesn't have, it's probably too soon to say definitively.

I've not owned a MIP, but I have seen them in person, and the negative is easily just as readable as the positive, it's really totally different than the regular LCD's the squares have always had. And I believe some Garmins with MIP displays do allow you to switch between positive and negative, but not all.

Don't worry about the color choices, we know G-Shock, more will come!

 

Found a Russian site that has a graphic saying it's all steel.

Casio выпустит цельнометаллические часы G-SHOCK GMW-BZ5000 с модульным корпусом | The GEEK

Компания Casio готовит к выпуску новую серию часов G-SHOCK GMW-BZ5000 — обновленную версию популярной металлической 5000-й линейки.

the-geek.ru

The headline in English is: "Casio will release a single-metal watch G-SHOCK GMW-BZ5000 with modular housing".

 

If others can sell expensive phone accessories, why not Casio?

 

Dang it. I think they are mixing the black and gold parts just to make me buy both so I can have a totally blacked out version, and a fully bling version.

 

Casio knows our weak points 😉

 

@Mothdust changed his negative MIP to positive the old fashioned way by fooling with the polarizer.

Honestly I'm too lazy for that, but want a positive MIP enough that I will take the gold. The negative MIPs are certainly readable, way (way) moreso than a negative LCD, but not the end game of readability some people say they are. The positives may be.

 

The positives may be.

Actually, I think the finely detailed stuff was more legible when it was negative. Might have to shoot a vid.

Oh yeah, maybe the biggest problem with it is the moon display which is kinda dumb now without the software allowing for the swap

 

Negative MIPS, it really is readable

 

Something to talk about

 

still dont get why casio cannot make a dual mip display...
iirc garmin does it offering option of both positive and negative faces with their mip displays...

 

Because they know many fanboys will fork for both positive and negative variations of the same models.

 

Negative mip displays are the only ones I can tolerate long term. I have changed all others I have to positive.
The downside is that so far casio mip displays are slow. Not sure why Casio does this, Garmin is a lot faster with its mip displays. So far in all mip watches I have there is a noticeable delay after you push a button and the response of the watch. Regular lcds are instant. I am curious to see if this is the same with this new watch.

 

Hmm, four buttons. I want to know the dimensions of the module, to see if I could potentially jam it inside something non-wankpanzer...

 

Happy to see a MIP display coming to our beloved square shape.

It has already been done before with the H5600.

 

 

Any info on the price yet? My guess is € 650 upwards.

 

Specs and prices will follow in the coming months.

 

Woooooooooo....Casio accepted my challenge and made it happen.....told u all it could be done.....we put a person on the moon 55 years ago, we will finally get our square MIP later this year.......can't wait to have one in the flesh on my wrist.....soon my fellow WUS faithful....Soon.....

BTW...these look much thinner then the current metal squares....

we put a person on the moon 55 years ago

Yep this guy...

 

I think I will stick with my GMW-B5000-D1

 

just looking at the black and gold ones...with the colored inserts... they're very MR-G like...
means my wallet is safe for another year...

 

Before I saw these, I was contemplating whether there was a crystal with gold edging that would be good to swap in… but I think I’ll leave mine as-is for now to keep it a little more subtle and grab that black with gold accents version when it releases. 😍

Love that MIP display!

 

Again we can't just have a brushed metal version with a positive display, sigh.

 

I agree. If the case is mirror finish chrome, that'll ruin it for me.

 

Black and gold, hell yes.

 

Anyone know the dimensions? Functions?

 

IMHO....dw-h5600 is not the MIP square the masses wanted....it was a poor, lazy, sloppy execution from Casio....pure and simple.....all we want is a solar or battery operated MIP square....doesn't even have to contain Multiband 6 or BT capability......now let's get this puppy to the finish line.....

Casio G-Shock GMW-BZ5000D: Key details regarding upcoming full metal watches revealed amid growing hype

New details on the Casio GMW-BZ5000D confirm it as a Japan-made G-Shock with a bold reverse LCD and major design changes over the original. Two models, silver and gold, are expected by year-end.

"poor, lazy, sloppy" youre stopping there? surely you could come up with some more irrelevant hyperbole than that 😂
they made a whole new model essentially cramming a gbdh2 complete with hrm into a smaller square body, in what world would that be poor, lazy or sloppy? it covers your wants listed here and goes way beyond it at a far less cost.

theres also no "all we want", all -you- want maybe. when the smaller mip models came out (several which tick all your boxes) , some wanted the mips in a traditional case and bezels (some were even saying up till this year that casio werent going to put mips in anything other than "sport" models) but alot of purists who thought the 500D was the be all/end all thought it was sacrilege to swap out the lcd module. further to that, those same ppl would sooner die than have bt or no mb6/solar.

 

a square should be affordable.
this with what looks like MR-G style construction, tho in steel... would likely still cost quite a bit...
I'm gonna guesstimate it at $799...

 

Prices already leaked;
Priced at €599 in steel & €649 in the coloured IP variants.

Geesgshock on Instagram: "#NewGshock 💣... Coming in the latter half of this year #GMWBZ5000 / GMW-BZ5000 in 3 variants: GMW-BZ5000D-1 Negative Silver GMW-BZ5000GD-1 Negative Black GMW-BZ5000GD-9 Positive Gold The new model comes with an MiP display and a few tweaks including a tweaked main case (see stories). Priced at €599 in steel & €649 in the coloured IP variants. The context of this info also really supports the previously mentioned theory that the new GW-BX5600 will be an MiP model. It also makes me think the previously rumoured GG-B100X has a significant chance of being MiP. Additionally we're unlikely to see either of these models in 2025. #️⃣🗑️👇 #gshock #casiogshock #casio #gshocknews #gshockrumours #NewGshockAlert #gshocksquare #gshockaholic #ilovegshock #gshockaddict #gshockuk #gshockjapan #gshockeu #gshock_us #watch #watches #watchesofinstagram #watchoftheday #toolwatch #absolutetoughness #nevergiveup #builtdifferent #since1983"

I haven’t looked at the G forum in a while and thought I’d see if there was anything on the MIP horizon.

Yea!

Looks like these may be available soon!

 

I'll be speculative and say I can't wait for this to show up in a resin case, lol

 

But you do have DWH56000 already at less than half the price of OP model....
