The VIRTUAL G-SHOCK NFTs that are now up for sale were based on the theme of futuristic shock-resistant G-SHOCK structures and there are two different designs available. While the imaginative VGA-001 is a balloon-covered G-SHOCK model with a design that moves freely, the VGA-002 plays with a leaf spring concept to powerfully absorb shock. Both of these virtual watch designs push the limits of what's possible and speak to new and existing [Gen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lil-squatch) Z fans of the brand.
