Description
Since its launch in 1983, G-SHOCK, the tough watch brand that has continued to evolve in pursuit of relentless strength, has introduced the AWG-M520 series, a revival of classic models with added new features. The AW-500, launched in 1989 as G-SHOCK's first analog-digital combination model, overturned the conventional notion that analog watches, due to their numerous small parts like hands and gears, were vulnerable to shocks. While retaining its round case design and simple, flat band, this new model features radio reception and Tough Solar technology. The lineup includes three models: the AWG-M520, which faithfully reproduces the original design; the AWG-M520BB, finished in all black; and the AWG-M520G, finished in black with pink gold accents. This G-SHOCK classic is being revived with enhanced functionality.
Shock-resistant
Tough Solar (solar charging system)

Radio wave reception: Automatic reception (up to 6 times per day) (up to 5 times per day for Chinese radio waves) / Manual reception. Japan: JJY, Frequency: 40 kHz/60 kHz (Fukushima/Kyushu compatible models). North America: WWVB, Frequency: 60 kHz. Europe: MSF/DCF77, Frequency: 60 kHz/77.5 kHz. China: BPC, Frequency: 68.5 kHz. *When the Home Time setting is set to a city that can receive radio waves, the watch will receive the corresponding station. The time zone offset will be determined by the selected city.

● Timer (1-second increments, maximum 100-minute increments, measured in 1-second increments)
● 5 alarms (with countdown) and hourly time signal
