Casio has launched the MTG-B2000YST1 in the United States, expanding the availability of its storm-inspired G-Shock watch. Priced at $1,450, the watch is part of the MT-G series and is specially designed for durability and precision – not to mention its distinct and striking design
The MTG-B2000YST1 features a carbon monocoque body reinforced with a Dual Core Guard structure which combines carbon and stainless steel for greater strength and reduced weight. A unique rainbow ion-plated bezel aims to replicate the changing hues of stormy skies, while a multi-layered carbon frame makes the watch more durable. The watch has an anti-reflective treated sapphire crystal to protect it from scratches.
Equipped with Tough Solar technology, the MTG-B2000YST1 can operate for up to 29 months in power saving mode after a full charge. Bluetooth connectivity allows the watch to sync with the Casio Watches app for automatic time adjustment, universal time across 27 time zones, and other functions. It also uses Multi-Band 6 for radio-controlled timing in areas covered by a signal. Other features, also found in most other G-Shock models, include a stopwatch, countdown timer, daily alarms and a fully automatic calendar programmed until 2099.
Compared to its previous version in the UK (MTG-B2000YST-1AER), which was priced at £1,299 (~$1,670), the US model is priced lower at $1,450. Needless to say, both variants share the same specifications, including 200m water resistance, a resin strap for comfort, and a 104g case weight.
