MOST ICONIC G-SHOCK SHAPE
G-ShockOwned and Reviewed
G-Shock DW-6900
The DW‑6900 is one of G‑Shock's most recognisable shapes: a 1990s icon with a broad, continually refreshed range of colours. My review covers the limited transparent DW‑6900SP I own.
Best for:People who want a classic G‑Shock shape with many colour choices
Not ideal if:You prefer a slim case or easy‑to‑press buttons. My clear review model may also yellow over time.
Browse current DW-6900 models and colours. The transparent DW-6900SP shown in my review is a separate limited edition. Check the exact model and colour before ordering.
