G-Shock 6900 Series Camo And Gold

The G-Shock new Camo and Gold collection pairs green camouflage with gold accents across a range of models, but the two that matter most are the GM-6900CMG-3 and the DW-6900CMG-3. Same 6900 silhouette, same original camo pattern that hides the G Shock "G mark" within the design, but two very different approaches to the concept.

The GM-6900CMG-3 is the premium version. It is the only model in the collection with a metal bezel, finished in gold IP stainless steel with the camouflage pattern applied via laser engraving rather than print. That gives the surface actual physical texture, with some areas left smooth and glossy for contrast. An IP coating over the top adds scratch resistance. The gold dial sits underneath, and the green camo resin band ties it together. It looks and feels like a step above what you expect from a 6900.

The DW-6900CMG-3 strips it back to pure resin and lets the pattern do the talking. The camouflage runs continuously from bezel to band in one unbroken flow, making it the most cohesive design in the lineup. At around $100 it is also the most accessible. LED backlight, 5 year battery life, and the same 200 meter water resistance the platform is known for.
 
Both watches sit in the same street fashion lane G Shock has owned for decades, but the metal versus resin split gives them distinct personalities. The GM for when you want the weight and finish of something more refined. The DW for when you just want the look without overthinking it.
