I also have the black and white version, and it's amazing how different they seem to me, although they are essentially the same watch. Color matters. Sjors--Thanks for your kind comments. Your information about the inspiration being a mix of musical skills, a jam session, was really interesting! It's amazing how much thought goes into so many of Casio Japan designs. Thanks! Bryan Hi FreeDiver & Sjors,

Excellent article. I love the Jam'in Color series. The reference to the Bape hoody is great. I hace a similar one, without the BAPE text. Actually Casio wanted to make this blend of two color resin (red and black in yours) refer to the music culture, where two people mix their musical skills in a Jam Session. At this very moment a red/black and a green/yellow DW-6900 are waiting for me at the post office. Kind Regards, Sjors Hi Bryan,

Reminds me of marbellized licorice fruitcake ;-) I can imagine this one getting a lot of attention on the wrist. article well done, but I have to say that I can’t get in touch with that freaky camo look on a G.

By the way, if you do hunt one of these down, take care. There are unfortunately fakes being made, sold on places like eBay. Authentic DW-6900 G-Shocks are easy to spot, they have the "G" mark on the backlight button under the 6 o'clock position as in the catalog picture at the top of this article. Regards, Bryan Hi Evan,

I think I'm going to hunt one of these G-Shocks down because it just looks so cool! Even the little red "Daytona" script on my Rolex Daytona adds a great deal of personality on the black dial. I always thought that camouflage patterns were strictly military in origin, very interesting indeed! Red and black are my two favourite colours and they are my favourite colour combination.
