G-SHOCK MTGB4000: now with AI
These days, AI is slipping into just about everything. You’re probably hearing about it at work, and of course we’re seeing all sorts of AI-generated content showing up online as well. Now, it’s even showing up in watches. Well, not in the watch itself, but in the design process. The first watch design that we’re seeing a brand own up to using generative AI in the design is the G-SHOCK MTGB4000.
G-SHOCK MTGB4000: what it is
On one hand, the G-SHOCK MTGB4000 does not look that radically different from other MTG designs. These are the watches that have all of the legendary G-SHOCK toughness and functionality, while adding in metal and other interesting materials. So, where did the AI get involved? That is a little less clear, but our guess is that it was in the exterior look of the case.
About that case…
You’ll notice that the G-SHOCK MTGB4000 case has a very unique look. On top, it seems like it’s a carbon fiber case. When you look from the side, though, you get layers, almost like a slice of Fordite. Turns out, this outer case is comprised of layers of carbon fiber and fiberglass, resulting in this very unique look. Around the back, you have a caseback made from metal injection molding, for a precisely-shaped caseback.
Wrapping things up
Around the front of the watch, you’ve also got all of the different and complex finishes on the metal that the MT-G lineup commonly has. You’ve also got all the standard functionality and protections; you can see the full list down below.
The G-SHOCK MTGB4000 is available as of today, in two different forms. There’s the G-SHOCK MTGB4000-1A that goes for $1,250 and then the MTGB4000B1A2 (which brings a blue-grey IP coating to the party) for $1,350. You should be able to find these at your local G-SHOCK retailer, their Soho store, and of course directly at gshock.com
