Casio has unveiled the G-Shock GM-6900XG-8, its latest collaboration with seven-member Japanese music group XG. The new watch builds on the familiar 6900 series, introducing several cosmetic changes inspired by the group’s music and identity.

When illuminated, the display reveals a howling wolf, a reference to XG’s fanbase, known as Alphaz. The new watch features a stainless steel bezel, a translucent strap with tattoo-inspired graphics, and a special wolf-themed backlight, with a Japanese release planned for November 2026.

The GM-6900XG-8 features a silver-colored stainless steel bezel paired with a translucent resin strap. The latter prominently displays the group’s full name, Xtraordinary Genes, using a multi-angle printing technique designed to resemble a tattoo.

Casio says the watch was developed around the creative concept of Time, Inked on You. Other distinguishing features include an X-shaped front button that activates the watch’s backlight.

The case back features the Japanese character 緒, which represents the bond between the group’s members and their fans. Casio has also included special packaging featuring seven wolves, one for each member.
