Casio unveiled the G-Shock GM-6900XG, the second watch created in collaboration with Japanese seven-member music group XG. The company will release the model in Japan on November 27 at a price of 39,600 yen, including tax. 

The watch draws on XG’s identity and its fan community, ALPHAZ. Casio built the design around the concept ‘TIME, INKED ON YOU,’ which links the passage of time to personal expression and connection. 

Classic Design, Modern Finish

The GM-6900XG uses the classic 6900-series case, known for its three round subdials on the watch face. Casio has paired this familiar silhouette with a silver metal bezel and a translucent resin strap. 

The company says the metal bezel represents the strength and time XG has built over its journey. The transparent strap, meanwhile, reflects the group’s willingness to move forward and embrace change. The strap carries ‘Xtraordinary Genes,’ the full name behind XG, in flowing script. 

Casio treated the lettering and accompanying graphics as tattoo-style artwork, giving the watch a bold, personal look. The front button features an ‘X' mark. When pressed, it lights the display and reveals a silhouette inspired by a howling wolf, the symbol of XG’s fan community. 

Hidden Fan Tributes

Casio added several details for dedicated fans. The stainless-steel case back carries the XG logo and the Japanese character “緒,” taken from “HESONOO,” the chant the group uses before performances. 

The company will also offer a special package featuring seven wolves, representing the seven members of XG. The GM-6900XG remains a practical G-Shock despite its fashion-led styling. The watch offers 200-meter water resistance and retains the shock resistance expected from the G-Shock range. 

Casio says the model measures 53.9 mm by 49.7 mm and weighs 107 grams. The watch combines a rugged build with a design aimed at fans of music, streetwear, and collectible timepieces.
