G-Shock is introducing smart functionalities to the GA-B2100 series, which features five models that can connect with different phones for an enhanced user experience. The collection dates back to 2019 and was quite simple, with basic G-Shock functionalities. Thanks to the octagonal design, analog display, and digital display, it garnered a lot of traction after it was rolled out into the market.

The G-Shock Bluetooth functionality makes it easier to adjust the time and date via a simple smartphone application developed by the brand. It also tracks time in different zones and updates everything within a short period.

As a collection that was revamped to keep up with the times, the new GA-2100 can harness solar energy from the immediate environment to power different components. This saves owners the trouble of changing batteries after a short period.

Even though the series will be upgraded with modern features, it is inspired by the 5600 line from 1987 and offers the same color options: yellow, green, blue, black x grey, and pure black. The GA-2100 series is based on the DW-5000C, a line that goes way back to 1983. It merges two styles, the retro and modern aesthetics, into one.

Every single detail on the front face is reminiscent of G-Shock’s signature design, characterized by a stylish ruggedness and an octagonal shape that adds to the look. Featuring a carbon core guard structure, the outer casing still safeguards multiple elements from external forces. While G-Shock provided insight into the Bluetooth functionality and solar feature, the brand hasn’t disclosed the official price yet.

A DECADE of &SONS chronicled in a new collection

&SONS

A decade ago, Phil James had a problem. He couldn’t find anything he wanted to wear on the clothing racks. There were big names everywhere in 2016. Names that had been generational legends for years. But, no matter how hard he looked, he just couldn’t find the clothing he truly wanted to wear. So, he decided to do what any rational person would do when they have nothing to wear: He started his own business. &SONS was born, and after ten years of providing some of the best British workwear, DECADE is a collection that celebrates what he and his team have done on their journey.

I have always been drawn to the marketing side of the brand. It makes sense; James has experience in his career that predates &SONS, as a marketing photographer. So, no wonder all the images looked amazing. Noe, the new collection looks back on that experience and the rising name he has built.

Luminox adds a new chronograph to the Carbon Seal Series

Luminox

Luminox began a long-standing relationship with one of the most elite special forces teams in the world in 1992 when they began making tactical watches for the Navy SEALs. Ever since, they have been the brand on the front lines (or behind them is probably the more appropriate statement) of all of the major conflicts across the globe. The team at Luminox elevated the SEAL watches with the Master Carbon SEAL collection which uses a stronger version of the brand’s CARBONOX. A long-bar carbon fiber compound three times lighter than titanium and twice as strong as standard CARBONOX. They are deepening the collection with a new chronograph, the new 3880.

“The connection to the Navy SEALs is both a legacy and a responsibility. From the very beginning, our watches have been designed to perform under the toughest conditions. That expectation continues to shape everything we do—not only for SEAL teams, but also for adventurers around the world who rely on their gear when pushing their limits.” – Pierrick Marcoux, Group Product Director at Luminox

Hockerty is prepping us for the weather changes with their new tech fabrics

Hockerty

Wearing a suit is about putting your best foot forward. It is about walking into a room and everyone knowing before they ever speak to you that you are the one they need. The guy for the job. The trustworthy man. The one who deserves the respect without demanding it. It is the whole purpose of dressing for success. It is the reason that your first impression is so important. So, what happens when your image is ruined by things outside your control? Do you lose the job? Is your trustworthiness in question? What happens to the respect? It is better not to find out. Prepare yourself.

So, of course you can wear an umbrella to protect you from the rain. But that doesn’t protect you from the guy spilling his coffee on you. It doesn’t protect you from the car splashing you as it drives by. Instead, you need to invest in tech fabric. The kind moisture doesn’t soak into, but rolls off. That is where Hockerty’s new collection comes in. The tech fabrics they now offer are for the guy on the move.
