Casio's new collab G-Shock comes with a stylish translucent teal body, lavender dial
Jae Tips is doing a second G-Shock — the Bronx designer announced "What Time You On? 2.0" on Instagram overnight, and it is landing at ComplexCon in Los Angeles on October 3 and 4. He runs Savior Worldwide and is better known for footwear, with collaborations behind him at Saucony, Adidas, New Era and Hat Club.
There's something worth knowing, though. The artwork says preorder only, so nobody's walking out of the convention center with one. You place the order at the Savior by Jae Tips booth and wait. A limited run also goes up online at SaviorWorldwide.com on October 3 (for anyone who can't get to LA).
The watch is a DW-6900 again, and it's translucent this time around. The case and strap are a clear teal green this time, with a blue strap keeper and a red G button. the base under the display is lavender. There are three sub-circles inside multi-coloured rings; it's one of the details that gets carried over from the first one. So did the flower from Jae Tips' logo, the "Forever on some fly" line under the display, and the custom backlight that throws up a "Savior" graphic when you hit the light.
Packaging is themed as well, for you get get a green flower-covered tin with the Jae Tips flower logo on the lid, plus a matching box asking the question the collaboration is named after.
For reference, version one was the DW6900JT25-2. That one debuted at ComplexCon Las Vegas last October at $150, reached Savior Worldwide on October 31 and Casio's US store on November 7. It's sold out on Casio US now.
Neither a price nor a model number has been announced for 2.0. If Casio follows the same pattern, a wider release should come a few weeks after the show.
