The latest additions to the G-SHOCK line ~ Casio to Release MT-G Series
TOKYO, Sept. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Casio Computer Co., Ltd. announced today the latest additions to its G-SHOCK line of shock-resistant watches. The new MTG-B2000 models are part of the MT-G series of watches, which are known for a construction that makes the most of the properties of both metal and resin. The MTG-B2000 features a new innovation—the Dual Core Guard structure—which accentuates the beauty and feel of metal while retaining a mid-sized case.
The new MTG-B2000 watches further advance the Metal Core Guard Structure used in previous MT-G series watches by employing a new Dual Core Guard Structure that incorporates a carbon fiber-reinforced resin case, leveraging the light weight and rigidity of carbon fiber. The watch features a dual structure with a carbon monocoque case that seamlessly integrates the case and case back. This is surrounded by metal frame, giving the watch a refined metal look when viewed straight on and from the sides. This new structure achieved a watch with more visible metal while retaining the popular mid-sized case and weight that users found to be so wearable in the MTG-B1000 released in 2018. The MTG-B2000 watches also feature Triple G Resist to resist dropping shocks, centrifugal gravity, and vibration, ensuring toughness..." https://apnews.com/pr-newsw/0095c2d6...140990b1a5fc03

The blue one is growing on me. I don't have a G-Shock...
Anyone like these?

I’ve got a lot of G Shocks but was never drawn to their higher end models. The MR-Gs are undoubtably great watches but huge and pricey. The previous MT-Gs just didn’t quite look right. These, however, are a nail head moment for me.

It has a "look" of MRG, I can't say about the "feel" yet.
But man, that red / purple bezel one. I don't like watches with IP coating, but I may have to make an exception for that.

That's a good looking watch!
Last year, got a MTG-B1000 XB for a beater. It's a fun watch, and nice not to have to worry about anything while wearing it. Wonder how heavy that B2000 is. I chose the XB for the carbon bezel which makes it noticeably lighter than other B1000 models with metal bezels. |
