G-SHOCK\u2019s newest collection is a cheeky nod to the brand\u2019s renowned Carbon Core Guard structure. Coined \u201cCaution Yellow,\u201d the world\u2019s toughest watch arrives in four iconic models, outfitted with an inky black case, band and strap, accented by canary yellow branding adapted from city taxis, pavement markings and tactile subway landings. The irony in the name, of course, is that these models, including the all-new GW-B5600CY-1, GA-B2100CY-1A, GA-700CY-1A and GA-100CY-1A, boast the extreme ruggedness and utility widely synonymous with G-SHOCK\u2019s archive, from 1983 onward. Caution is but a suggestion to G-SHOCK componentry.<\/p>\n
The color pairings complement the robust, bulky components of these watches, so if you’re fixing to put them to use in more extreme scenarios, like rock climbing, dirt biking, or, dare say, park core, they’ll make for a stylish, functional wrist piece that can take a few hits. The GA-700CY-1A and GA-100CY-1A models are great examples of honing this double entendre. The former is the bulkiest of the collection, measuring 57.5mm long and 53.4mm wide. Its front-button case design is another accent playing off the thematic black and yellow color scheme \u2014 the bright yellow stop light nestled just above the ribbed strap. The latter consolidates elements of the GA-700CY-1A into a more streamlined facade, minus the pushers and rigorously sculpted case indents. Smaller models arrive with the classic square shape of the GW-B5600CY-1 \u2014 which derives its inspiration from the 1983-era DW-5000C \u2014 and the solar-powered GA-B2100CY-1A, showcasing a slimmer band and flatter case design. <\/p>\n
Across the board, the series is shock-resistant, featuring 20-bar water resistance, a 1\/100 stopwatch and a countdown timer. Particular to the GW-B5600CY-1 and GA-B2100VY-1A are its Bluetooth connectivity using G-SHOCK\u2019s Smartphone Link app. The GW-B5600CY-1 also incorporates radio control and a Super Illuminator LED to accommodate its smaller digital screen. Styled in the lookbook above, the collection\u2019s striking grease-monkey-meets-bmx-enthusiast vibe is front and center, as is its statement-making appeal as a daily, functional accessory.<\/p>\n
