G-Shock's Pokemon Watch Arrives with a Pikachu Design
Ellen Smith — January 21, 2021 — Fashion
G-Shock's Pokemon watch arrives as the accessory brand's latest collaboration, seamlessly combining nostalgia with functionality. This new iteration covers the brand's Baby G silhouette, which serves as a highly practical, function-focused watch. It's water-resistant, withstanding a depth of up to 100 meters, features five alarm settings, a calendar and a timer.
What's most exciting about this new iteration is the design. Boasting a baby pink colorway, this watch offers something completely new that's sure to appeal to fans of Pokemon, especially as Valentine's Day approaches. On the watch's band, a subtle etching of Pikachu's silhouette can be seen, offering a more laidback showcase of one's fandom, that doesn't take away from the adult nature of the product.
