TL;DR
- Casio has launched the G-Shock GravityMaster GWR-B3000 in India, starting at ₹65,995 for the GWR-B3000-1A, with two more variants at ₹72,995 and ₹79,995.
- The new TOUGH MVT.2 movement does two things you will notice. It resets the hands on its own after a hard knock and pauses them in strong magnetic fields so the watch keeps accurate time.
- Every model comes with Tough Solar charging, Multiband 6 radio sync, Bluetooth, Triple G Resist, and a carbon fiber-reinforced case. The design takes cues from cockpit instruments and uses anti-reflective sapphire crystal for clear reading.
The G-Shock GravityMaster series is Casio’s aviation line. These big, analog-digital pilot watches are built to handle turbulence and take design cues from cockpit instruments. The new GWR-B3000, out in India today, adds a smart feature: if you hit it hard, it resets its own hands. Casio’s TOUGH MVT.2 movement brings two features you will actually use. First, it senses shocks and automatically fixes the hands. If a hard hit knocks the hands out of place, the watch realigns them on its own. No need to visit a service center or mess with manual calibration. Second, it detects magnetic fields. When strong magnetic interference hits, the watch pauses the hands to keep time accurate and starts them again when things are clear. For a pilot’s watch that sits near avionics, this is a real upgrade. ade.
The rest of the accuracy features are classic G-Shock: Tough Solar charging, Multiband 6 radio timekeeping, and Bluetooth Smartphone Link for syncing and settings. All together, these make the GWR-B3000 one of Casio’s most self-sufficient analog watches.
The case: carbon, steel, and topology
Casio calls the design Supersonic. The watch sticks to the theme without looking over the top. The dial is wide and deep, with large hands and markers in a dark black finish for strong contrast. The micro-textured surface cuts glare, and the sapphire crystal uses an anti-reflective coating. These choices make it easy to read the watch at cruising altitude.
Casio builds the case with Triple G Resist to handle shock, centrifugal force, and vibration. A carbon fiber-reinforced resin inner case fits inside stainless steel protectors. Casio cuts out extra material using topology engineering, so the watch stays strong but feels light on your wrist.
Casio puts bio-based resin in key parts of the center case and band. This helps with sustainability but does not change how the watch feels or works.
If you travel, the GWR-B3000 gives you dual-dial world time and a UTC button that jumps straight to Coordinated Universal Time, the aviation standard. The app adds Phone Finder to help you find your phone in a dark cockpit or hotel room, and Flight Log to record your departure and arrival points. It is not a full navigation computer, but it does more than most world-timers.

Three variants, three prices
All three models use the same movement and core features. The only differences are in materials and color treatments:
| GWR-B3000-1A | ₹65,995 |
| GWR-B3000A-2A | ₹72,995 |
| GWR-B3000B-8A | ₹79,995 |
The entry-level 1A gives you the best value. It has the same movement, durability, and easy-to-read dial as the pricier models. The more expensive versions add extra finishes and different band materials, but the main features stay the same. You can buy all three now at select G-Shock stores and online.
The GWR-B3000 is not a smartwatch. It is a pilot watch built for a purpose, with a feature that matters: hands that fix themselves after a knock. At ₹65,995, it costs about the same as a mid-range Swiss automatic, but it shrugs off impacts and magnetic fields that would send a mechanical watch to the shop. If you travel often, love aviation, or want a watch that takes care of itself, this is a solid piece of engineering for you.
