G-Shock watches are popular enough with the active/law enforcment/military/outdoorsy crowd to begin with, and then the hexagonal “CasiOak” analog-digital timepiece took the world by storm. Certain colors sold out, and watch modders customized it with metal to mimick the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. Now, G-Shock is listening to their adoring fans by creating a metal version clad in stainless steel. The functionality remains, but the look is decidedly premium with the metal case, bezel, and dial on top of a black resin strap. Other metallic GM-2100 models will include black/green, black/red, and gray/blue. Look for them to go on sale in August and get snatched up very quickly.
