G-SHOCK watches have been synonymous with toughness for decades. If Chuck Norris decided he needed a watch, he would be wearing a G-SHOCK. But what happens when the legendary brand joins forces with the hottest technology right now – artificial intelligence? The answer is the new Casio G-SHOCK MTG-B4000, the brand’s first watch designed with the help of AI algorithms. And the result? Something even the Terminator couldn’t break.
When Casio introduced the first watch to the world in 1983 G-SHOCK watch, no one believed it would truly be “indestructible.” But with its combination of toughness, digital technology, and rugged looks, it quickly won over military special forces, firefighters, astronauts, and even fashionistas. But Casio never rested on its laurels. As the saying goes: if it ain’t broke, fix it – or at least improve it. And so it was. Casio G-SHOCK MTG-B4000
And that's exactly what they did with the Casio G-SHOCK MTG-B4000 series, where AI took on the role of "simulation guru" that pushed beyond the traditional boundaries of design and performance.

In the design process, Casio used generative artificial intelligence, which analyzed decades of data on shock and material resistance. Designers pitched their ideas to algorithms, who quickly said, “That’s interesting, but I can do better.” This dynamic human-AI duo created a watch that boasts an incredibly solid structure while maintaining an aesthetic that’s stylish enough for a night out at the bar—if you like to be noticed.
Carbon, steel, and some space magic
The new watch is not just about AI technology, but also about materials. The MTG-B4000 combines carbon and laminated glass fibers, giving it a futuristic, almost “exoskeletal” look reminiscent of Tony Stark’s Iron Man suit. The steel parts are treated with a Japanese Sallaz technique, creating a shine that could blind passersby – literally.
G-SHOCK that goes beyond G-SHOCK
The MTG-B4000 is still a true G-SHOCK watch, of course, with all the features you'd expect: water resistance to 200m, solar power, atomic precision and Bluetooth connectivity. And with its "Triple G Resist" technology, it withstands shocks, vibrations and even centrifugal force.
The designers say the watch is more durable than ever. We believe them, after all, this is G-SHOCK – a brand that once threw a watch out of a plane, ran it over with a truck, and then calmly demonstrated that it still kept time. AI has clearly taken on the challenge and taken it to a whole new level.
AI as the future of horology?
Although this is only the first step, it opens the door to a new era of watchmaking, where designers and artificial intelligence will create together. Will this be the end of traditional watchmaking? Probably not, but one thing is certain: the MTG-B4000 proves that artificial intelligence can enable watchmakers to transcend their human limitations. And as long as the human hand is the one setting the limits for artificial intelligence, the future of watchmaking will be very exciting.
So if you were looking for a watch, that will last you for decades, you've found it. The new G-SHOCK MTG-B4000 is priced at around $1,250 for the base model, or $1,350 for the blue-gray ion-plated version. Just don't expect to be able to destroy it—even artificial intelligence claims that's practically impossible.
