🗞️ What’s New?! 🗞️

🤯🐊 G-Shock x Crocs Limited GA-2100 Collab! 🐊🤯

Yep! This is a thing… 🤯

This week, Casio America have dropped a limited edition G-Shock x Crocs collaboration! 😳

Featuring the Casioak bundled with a pair of glow-in-the-dark Crocs Echo Wave Clogs 🌟🕶️.

The watch sports Crocs branding, a phosphorescent dial & a multicolour marble-patterned band that mirrors the clogs’ insoles & straps 🎨.

A rare light pink dial ring then complements pink hands & weekday indicator for a standout pop of colour! 🎨🖌️

Now for the most interesting bit… 🤔

Thanks to quick-release levers, the watch can be detached & placed into a custom holder on the shoe! 👟👇️ 

The set officially dropped this week for $200 & is available exclusively through select retailers & crocs.com 🇺🇸 (it’s unknown whether this release worldwide right now). 🌎️

And no, no word yet on any separate watch-only release either, this one’s strictly a bundle. 👟⌚️

Those of you who know me well will know I’m a big Crocs fan - I feel like this kind of happened instinctively the moment I became a Dad back in 2020… Like fully unlocked Dad Mode. 😅

I also happen to quite like G-Shocks... so yeah, I’m absolutely here for this collab! 😎

But I wanna know what you think… 🤔👇️

☀️🌊 Swatch Dives Back In with the SCUBAQUA Collection! 🌊☀️

Swatch makes a splash with the SCUBAQUA - a bold, five-piece collection built to dive straight into summer fun! ☀️🌊👇️

Crafted from Swatch’s Bioceramic material, each watch combines solid colour & translucent biosourced components to create a striking “jelly effect.” 🎨.

The 44mm diver-style case houses a transparent dial that puts the quartz movement on full display, adding a cool mechanical layer to their design. 🔍

The SCUBAQUAs have that dive watch aesthetic down & come equipped with 100 metres of water resistance, rotating bezels, lume & integrated straps. 🤝 

And while they’re not exactly built for pro-level diving, they’re perfectly primed for casual water use & summer adventures (basically how most of us will wear them anyway!). 🏖️🏊️

The debut collection features five colourways:

• Lion’s Mane (Red) ❤️

• Black Sea Nettle (Black) 🖤

• Egg Yolk (Yellow) 💛

• Blue Fire (Blue) 💙

• Aurelia Aurita (White) 🤍

All cool names tbf…

These summer ready watches are available right now at Swatch, all priced at $150/ £135. 💰️

I’m liking these & keen to get one in hand to get a closer look - what do you reckon? 🤔👇️

🔥🤖 The New (AI Co-Designed) G-SHOCK MTG-B4000 Is Here! 🤖

It’s one many of us G-Shock fans have been waiting for…

Following the success of the MTG-B1000, 2000 & 3000, G-Shock take a bold leap & drop the MTG-B4000! The first ever G-Shock co-designed with AI! 🤯

Human designers came up with the concepts, AI ran impact simulations using G-Shock’s decades of shock-resistance data, then refined the design to balance durability, material constraint & manufacturing. Casio engineers then brought it to life! 🤖🤝👨

The result? A laminated carbon + glass fibre bridge forms the screwless lugs, built to reduce impact stress on the watch’s core. ⚙️

Let’s break it down some more…

Specs:
🧱 45.3mm wide
📏 14.4mm thick
📐 56.6mm lug-to-lug
⚖️ 112g

Craftsmanship:
🧬 MIM caseback
🪞 Sallaz-polished steel
💙 Blue IP bezel (B4000B-1A2) or bare steel (B4000-1A)

📡 Multiband 6 + Bluetooth
🔋 Tough Solar (5 months use, 18 in power save)
🌍 World time (27 cities), chrono, auto calendar
💡 Super Illuminator
🛡️ Triple G Resist: shock, centrifugal, vibration resitant
💦 200M water resistance

Price:

MTG-B4000B-1A2 (blue bezel): ¥176,000 (approx. $1,230) 💙

MTG-B4000-1A (bare steel): ¥165,000 (approx. $1,150) 🪙

The MTG-B4000 marks a significant shift for the MT-G line, I like the use of AI, not to fully design & construct, but to leverage & I think that’s happening well here. 🤝

For me, it’s cool to see brands starting to dip their toe, what do you think? 🤔

I’ll share more of my thoughts on the design in our next episode of “What’s New?” but for now, let me know.👇️
