Be aware that in general, I’ve discovered I don’t like my neg display ones much. I’ve got a few, and I unconsciously avoid them as just not as nice to use / look at. Even though I’m always drawn to them when purchasing as I like the look.

That's actually a fair point as I have a negative already that I rarely wear and hadn't thought about why!

I've tried a few neg displays including ones with a colour tint and they are all pretty much unreadable so all have been moved on apart from my dusky neon gd-400 which just looks fantastic!

I like my negative display. Had read about them being hard to read, but not found it to be the case personally.

Hi folks,

Bit of a long shot but I'm wondering if any of you eagle eyed G-Shock aficionados can help identify the watch Ed Sheeran was wearing on the Jonathan Ross show a week or so ago.

I'd really like to find & buy one but can't find the exact model, it looks like a DW6900 of some sort.

This is the best image I could find of it.

Looks like the North Face x Supreme 6900 but with a different strap? Assuming that it is yellow? (Severe colour blindness here)

Thanks @MrBig yes it's bright yellow.
I just googled the model you suggested, it's very close but on the north face version the 'G' button/badge on the case is yellow with a black G but on this one it's black with a yellow G.

Closest I can find is G-6900A-9

Yes, same here, cannot find this one for love nor money!
It's almost the same except it has a yellow dial with black subdials & some sort of print on the strap.
I've googled & searched ebay but no luck so far.
The North Face edition that MrBig mentioned is the closest, just the 'G' button/badge is different.

Bought this in an army shop in Afghanistan in 2011, worn it pretty much daily since. I was playing around with the alti feature today and it was giving results accurate to about 20m between 1650 and 3230m above sea level. Pretty impressive I thought!!

Me too, did a load of digging and came up totally blank, which is unusual, coz I generally find what I'm looking for.

My guess is that it's a one off / custom / mod piece.

I'm also clueless, even went as far as to watch the ES/JR interview.

Went through all the G-Central 6900 collab announcements but nothing matched up exactly - Supreme/TNF was probably the closest, bar the strap.

I'd concur that it's a modded piece, albeit curious as to what. Anyone recognise the design on the strap - splattered paint, or cryptic logo?

That's the closest so far, only the print on the strap is different, the rest looks pretty much the same.

I reckon the strap is some sort of one off collaboration by an artist maybe.

[LordGrover]

Not exactly pron, but what I happen to be sporting today...

[epom]

I'm mad to try one of the fitness ones, I've read all the (apparent) reviews.... anyone on here care to give one ? I just want to buy another tbh.

This appears to be the same strap sig: https://www.instagram.com/p/CrE7ID7h3z1/

Casio has launched a trio of new G-Shock 40th Anniversary Recrystallized watches. Based on the iconic “square” case design that defined the very first G-Shock from 1983 (the ref. DW5000C), the latest trio of 40th Anniversary models consists of two full-metal variations alongside a third model with a bio-based resin bezel and strap.



Its a pass from me.



this one maybe ...


Actually, scrap that

I actually commented on their post on Facebook about these as everyone (including me) thinks they're a bit garish. I suggested a proper carbon fibre one would be cooler and got a reply.

If they make one, I'm totally taking the credit haha
