G-Shock AW500BB-4E

The G-Shock AW500BB-4E, launched in 1989, was G-SHOCK's first analog-digital watch. It defied the common belief at that time that analog watches with hands, gears, and small parts were easily damaged by shock and impact. This watch offers a choice between the classic AW-500 look and new color options. Key features include shock resistance (a G-Shock trademark), an electro-luminescent backlight with afterglow for clear visibility in the dark, dual time functionality for keeping track of different time zones, a daily alarm to remind you of important events, a full auto calendar that runs until 2099, 200 meters of water resistance for water-based activities, and a mineral glass for added durability.

Using your G-Shock AW500BB-4E is a breeze. To set the time, look for the buttons on the side of the watch. Press and hold to enter the setting mode, then use the buttons to adjust the hours, minutes, and other time details. The dual - time feature is handy if you travel a lot. Just find the dual - time setting and set the second time zone. The daily alarm can be set by accessing the alarm menu, where you can choose the time and turn it on or off. For the electro - luminescent backlight, simply press the designated button to light up the watch face. When it comes to water resistance, it can handle swimming and snorkeling up to 200 meters, but avoid pressing buttons underwater. To keep your watch in top shape, clean it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures and strong chemicals. If you notice any issues, it's best to take it to a professional watch repair service.
