How the G-Shock GW-5000U wears

Its lugs add 6.1 mm to the 42.8 mm case, close to the 7.1 mm typical across the almanac, so its diameter is a fair guide to how it wears.

On our fit model it sits best on wrists from 6.75" to 8.25" (17.1–21.0 cm); below 6.75" the lugs start to reach the edge of the wrist.

At 13.5 mm thick it is thicker than 90% of the 10 other digital watches we've measured, so expect it to sit tall on the wrist.

Will the G-Shock GW-5000U fit your wrist?

With a 48.9 mm lug-to-lug, here is how it wears across common wrist sizes. We estimate the flat top of each wrist from its circumference; measure yours for a closer answer in the fit finder.
