Casio G-Shock x Kith "Rainbow" Casio G-Shock joined with the New York-based street fashion brand KITH again in 2021 to release the latest collaboration model GM-6900KITH-2CR, following the successful GM-6900KTH-4CR in rose gold colorway in 2020.
It is every bit the tough sport watch that you'd hope for, but comes with a lot of instantly recognizable design details unique to KITH. Perhaps most obviously, there's the special "Rainbow" IP effect on the metal bezel, matching with a "KITH monogram" imprinted translucent strap, which adds a touch of lightness to the watch's design and plays off the iridescent rainbow bezel. The watch also comes with a second, fully translucent strap. Changing them out is easy thanks to quick-release tabs.
The GM-6900KITH-2CR maintains G-Shock's existing impact-resistant structure on the basic GM-6900 model and is waterproof to 200 meters. It is also equipped with a 1/100 second chronograph, daily alarm, and blue EL backlight with the "JUST US" motif showing when lit.
