G-SHOCK's newest line pays a playful tribute to the brand's renowned Carbon Core Guard structure, aptly named "Caution Yellow." This collection features four iconic models, each sporting a sleek black case, band, and strap, accentuated with vibrant canary yellow branding inspired by urban taxis, road markings, and subway platform signals. The irony lies in the name, as these models, including the fresh GW-B5600CY-1, GA-B2100CY-1A, GA-700CY-1A, and GA-100CY-1A, embody the rugged durability and functionality that G-SHOCK has been synonymous with since 1983. "Caution" is merely a nod to G-SHOCK's robust engineering.
The color combinations perfectly complement the sturdy, substantial components of these timepieces. So, if you're planning to put them to the test in demanding activities like rock climbing, dirt biking, or even parkour, you'll have a stylish and practical wrist companion that can take a beating. Take the GA-700CY-1A and GA-100CY-1A, for example, they exemplify this dual meaning. The former is the bulkiest of the bunch, measuring 57.5mm in length and 53.4mm in width. Its front-button case design is a subtle nod to the black and yellow theme, with the bright yellow stoplight just above the textured strap. The latter consolidates the elements of the GA-700CY-1A into a more streamlined design, sans the pushers and intricately sculpted case details. The smaller models maintain the classic square shape of the GW-B5600CY-1, drawing inspiration from the 1983-era DW-5000C, and the solar-powered GA-B2100CY-1A, boasting a slimmer band and flatter case profile.
Across the board, this series is built to withstand shocks, featuring 20-bar water resistance, a 1/100 stopwatch, and a countdown timer. The GW-B5600CY-1 and GA-B2100VY-1A models offer Bluetooth connectivity via G-SHOCK's Smartphone Link app. The GW-B5600CY-1 also includes radio control and a Super Illuminator LED to enhance its smaller digital screen. As showcased in the lookbook above, this collection exudes a distinctive blend of grease-monkey and BMX enthusiast vibes, making a bold statement as a practical and stylish daily accessory.
