This unique Johnny Cupcakes x G-Shock watch is a creative collaboration between the Casio and design firm with the wristwatch brand. This bright turquoise, limited-edition watch combines the sleek styles of the watch brand with the playful aspects of a casino.

The collaborative efforts for this timepiece transform the watch brand's [chunky GDX6900 wristwatch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gshock-little-thunder) into a playful timepiece. The new watch features a [bright aqua-toned coloring](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gshock-oasis-series) to represent a cupcake's icing. There is also speckles of pink, white and blue dots scattered across the watch to look like sprinkles.

The Johnny Cupcakes x G-Shock will be available for consumer purchase during the month of November. This is a limited-edition timepiece will be sold both online and in select retail locations. Selling for about $140, the timepiece is a whimsical reminder for people to stop wasting their time.
