3. Design & Style
The GW-9500MEC-1DR showcases G-SHOCK's iconic utilitarian design, crafted from durable resin for both its case, bezel, and band.

4. Material & Care
The watch's construction primarily utilizes high-grade Resin for the case, bezel, and band, offering superior durability, flexibility, and resistance to impact. To maintain its pristine condition, avoid operating buttons while the watch is submerged in water, and protect it from extreme temperature fluctuations such as those found in saunas, hot baths, or steam rooms, which can compromise its water resistance. For models with light-colored resin components, users should be aware of potential discoloration, staining, or color transfer from other materials. As a Tough Solar timepiece, it requires regular exposure to light to maintain its charge; prolonged storage in dark places like drawers can lead to discharge. Always refer to the official G-SHOCK care guidelines for optimal maintenance.
