Spotted on Mygshock.com, among the new releases coming from Casio for the upcoming spring season, more collaborated watches are on their way as well. This will be the second collaboration from DQM (Dave’s Quality Meat), and the third respectively for LRG (Lifted Research Group), with this being their second DW6900 to be produced.

If you read our posts here at EO, we’ve been upbeat about G-Shocks as of late. However, don’t take this one as hate against these watches, but rather at a weak attempt to sell more “limited watches”: Subcrew, a HK-based brand (I’m not familiar with them), is releasing a “special” line of Casio G-Shocks.
By looking at this initial picture, all they have done is to place their logos and designs on Casio’s Crazy Colors line and other regular G-Shocks that you can buy off eBay or Amazon. When something like this is released as a “collaboration”, expect them to charge an absurd markup amount over the “regular” product. They could have chose to do something more original, but many hypebeasts out there will probably care less. I’ve seen many of them think that G-Shocks were only sold by exclusive boutiques in trendy locations, costing as much as their shoes…many of them do not realize that their local Target and Walmart also carry these fine watches as well.
I got this watch off a member from WatchUSeek’s G-Shock forum for an awesome deal…this one has the classic G-Shock design with a cool Tide and Moon graph. This watch comes in the black that I have, white and red. I also love the resin band as well. OK, I think I’m buying too many watches…will stop soon!
Thanks to the big boss here at EO (Amazon Prime!), my newest G-Shock just arrived today (This is G-Shock #5 I think), thanks to Amazon via UPS. The Mudman is one of the G-Shock line’s toughest watches. After doing my research, the Mudman was the next essential watch for any G-Shock collector. For an astounding price of just $45.96 ($99 Retail), I got this buff watch, resistant to mud, water, and anything that stands in its way. Mine looks like a ninja turtle with the cool stealth green color, and its negative display screen. Click on the link below if you want one too (with free shipping)!

Either I gave into my inner “hypebeast” or just got lucky: While roaming around the mall over the weekend, I found two of these babies from a local retail department store, when everyone said that all these were sold out online.
Welcome to 2009! Hope you all had a good New Year’s Day yesterday!
To start the new year off, I got yet another Casio G-Shock watch. A good starter watch, the DW9052-1V is lightweight, water resistant up to 200 meters, has the ultracool EL backlight, and of course, is reasonably priced. I got my watch off eBay, but you can buy find them on many online stores such as Amazon.
