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.

Dress like an iconic interior designer with J.McLaughlin’s new collaboration
Face, Happy, Head

Fashion designers litter the horizon across the menswear space. Each one brings a different vision to the landscape of men’s clothing. Some are basic and simple, leaning heavily on solid colors, classic pieces, and expert tailoring. Others preach to their customer base that expressing yourself through your clothing is easiest with bright colors, bold patterns, and silhouettes that stand out among the sea of classic run-of-the-mill garments. J.McLaughlin is one of the best at finding that middle ground and providing pieces for both the former and the latter. In their new collection, they teamed up with iconic interior designer Mark Sikes for a fresh take on menswear seen nowhere else in the industry. After designing Jill Biden’s White House spaces and heading across the street to transform Blair House (sometimes called the White House Guest House), Sikes brings looks to the forefront at J.McLaughlin you can’t miss.

The path of least resistance is crowded: 5.11 launches ‘I am 5.11’
Clothing, Coat, Wood

The world is a harsh place. Every day can feel like outside your door is a constant battle to keep your head above water. You can push and push and push, and at the end of the day, feel like you have lost ground. So why would anyone wake up and take the hard road? The truth is, those people have figured out the secret no one tells you. The undeniable truth that you only discover when you reach out and try to touch something everyone else tells you is impossible: That harsh world, it is neutral. It isn’t out to get you. It is waiting for you to decide the obstacles won’t stop you. The desire to leap over the obstacles and capture your dreams comes down, not to fortune and manipulation, but to effort. At least, that is what 5.11’s new campaign, “I am 5.11,” is pushing with the help of motocross professional Carey Hart and NASCAR driver Hailie Deegan. A collection of clothes built for hard work and no boundaries.

It’s about moving forward, pushing yourself forward, and always challenging yourself. – Carey Hart
