The newly introduced Casio G-Shock GBD-300 features a thin, octagonal body and a urethane band. The rear bumper bezel has a bowl-shaped curvature that wraps around the case and helps with impact resistance as well as reducing contact with the back of the hand.

The bottom cover joins the band and bezel which is said to aid flexible wrist movement. The parts of the band that come into contact with the skin have a dotted texture that prevents slipping or sticking due to perspiration, according to the company.
