G-SHOCK introduced the ultra-tough digital 6900 series watch in 1995. These round-cased watches featured a triple-graph layout and a large button on the front. The general design and functionality have not changed much over the years. Still, G-SHOCK does an incredible job of keeping the models fresh with new releases in different materials, colors, and finishes. They have even added new precision regulation and solar-powered technology to some models. There is quite literally a G-SHOCK GW6900 for any taste.
Collaboration is another way G-SHOCK keeps its models fresh, and this new collaboration with NASA (National Aeronautic and Space Administration) is an excellent example of that. On this version, the NASA logo has replaced all the text usually seen at the top of most GW6900 watches. This may seem like a small change, but it significantly alters the appearance of this 50mm watch. We would even say it is striking, particularly against the stark black background. Other notable changes include the dark grey U.S. Flag on the keeper of the resin strap, and an impact equation etched on the case back.
Inside the watch is a highly accurate quartz movement (module 3179) regulated by radio control, providing exact precision. Its impressive array of complications includes an automatic calendar, world time, multiple alarms, stopwatch, timer function, and LED lighting. The watch is water-resistant to 200m and solar-powered, so battery changes are not required.

G-SHOCK was born from a simple idea — a watch should not break when dropped. Back in 1983, the original square-shaped DW-5000C was created after Kikuo Ibe witnessed a child bouncing a rubber ball. It struck him that a watch floating within a rubber case would be impervious to shocks. After a bunch of testing and design with toughness in mind, the brand was born. Nearly 35 years and hundreds of models later, G-SHOCK is still best known for being some of the toughest, hard-wearing watches that money can buy.
