This [G-Shock](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goliath-frogman) Forgman watch isn’t your ordinary G-Shock. All on its own, a G-Shock is a popular watch model in the world of street wear and youth, but add collaborators [Stussy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stssy-summer-2026) and [Bape](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/type-10) and this one shouldn’t have a problem flying off the shelves.

The watch is black with red lights on the face along with new branding from Stussy and Bape. This collaborative watch is truly the intersection of three iconic street wear brands. However, especially with three big names in on the design, it's hard to figure out how much each side really contributed. Aside from the branding added to the watch face, this is pretty much a hyped-up G-Shock watch.

It does come in a cool metal box that looks like a briefcase. While this is a unique feature, you’ll probably never strap the watch box to your wrist.
