Upgrade Your Wrist For Winter: Introducing the Casio G-SHOCK G-STEEL Watch

Finding the right watch is a tricky endeavor — finding one that seamlessly blends style, durability, and functionality in one rugged yet accessible package is an even taller order. That’s where the reliable Casio G-SHOCK G-STEEL line comes into play.

Blending the best of tough, weather-ready durability with the type of style that won’t look out of place this holiday season, the GSTB100XA-1A, in particular, is the next watch you need to get on your wish list — or simply buy right now. It starts with lightweight yet rigid carbon, used to make a bezel that just won’t quit or fail you, no matter what you put it through. It helps that the layered carbon bezel design is crisp, visually interesting and fashion-forward — and is affixed to a rugged case, packed with additional features other watches simply do not have.

The same can be said for the clear sapphire glass — made to be highly scratch-resistant, no less. Like the rest of the G-SHOCK G-STEEL line, it’s a versatile watch that’s made to go anywhere you go.

The fact that it’s equipped with Bluetooth® technology to connect to your smartphone — via G-SHOCK’s Connected App — is a handy feature, too. Make no mistake though, this beastly, tough watch packs as much style as utility, and that’s going to make it worth the investment.

It also features solar-powered functionality for another utilitarian touch that only makes it even worthy of your time and hard-earned cash. It’s a watch that simply won’t quit.

When you want a watch that won’t fail your during winter adventures, reach for the G-SHOCK G-STEEL line. More specifically, pair it with tough chore pants, a warm thermal henley and a herringbone field coat for all-day performance (and shock resistance). A dash of style that wouldn’t look out of place at your favorite bar.

Feeling more casual? The GSTB100XA-1A will wear with ease alongside a classic chambray shirt, faded denim and black leather moc toe boots at a holiday gathering. Heading to a late-season football tailgate? Trade your jersey for a long-sleeve merino tee, a down vest and tan chinos — simply add the GSTB100XA-1A for connected performance and style that stands up to winter weather. You’ll stay on time via the G-SHOCK Connected app, you’ll battle winter weather with shock-resistant technology, and you might just be the most stylish guy at your tailgate.

All of this is to say, the Casio G-SHOCK G-STEEL line is the ideal blend of style and function for winter and well beyond.

two watches from the passion project sitting on table

As far as watch collaborations go, the result of H.Moser & Cie and Studio Underd0g’s pairing is nothing short of bold and youthful. These new timepieces, aptly named Passion Project, are a wonderfully modern and innovative design that mixes unique aspects of both companies into two watches. The collaboration between an icon in watch design like H.Moser & Cie with the UK brand Studio Underd0g is a limited edition set that takes an impactful timepiece that gives users a unique colorway and characteristics. With only 100 pieces for sale, there’s no doubt that this limited edition piece will sell out quickly. Besides its enticing color scheme, this watch contains all the features that make H.Moser & Cie a favorite among watch enthusiasts. Making this collaboration even more exciting is that users will get double the fun, with both watches in this partnership being sold as a set.  
The Passion Project

At first glance, the Passion Fruit piece catches your eye with its interesting mix of gold and purple colorways that adds fun and liveliness to your wrist. And for users who enjoy having more options, this collaboration brings us two unique watches that share the same zest. The first of the set, the H. Moser & Cie. Endeavour Perpetual Calendar Passion Fruit, emphasizes H. Moser & Cie’s most iconic characteristic, the perpetual calendar. This piece features the iconic mix of the purple lacquered sunburst dial and Maracuja fumé Grand Feu enamel dial on an 18-carat yellow gold base that shines. The star of the show here is the HMC-800, H. Moser & Cie’s recognized Perpetual Calender movement, which contains a large date display and month indicator via the central hand.

You will love the way you look tonight if you snag this Frank Sinatra-inspired Bulova watch
The Chairman of the Board watch.

Watch collectors are about to get the chance to sing their praises for a watch with a musical background. A partnership between Bulova and Frank Sinatra started in the 1950s, and collectors are as obsessed with it today as in the swing era. If the soothing voice of Ol' Blue Eyes still takes you back to a simpler time, you might want to set your sights on a wristwatch that will do the same. While you may never sell 150 million records yourself, this limited edition, a once-in-a-blue-moon chance to own a Frank Sinatra-coded Bulova watch and feel like an honorary member of the Rat Pack, is here.
Bulova and Frank Sinatra

Bulova exudes charisma in each art deco-inspired watch it creates, and this vintage 1930s throwback piece pays homage to the relationship between the watch brand and Frank Sinatra. Sinatra cherished the brand from the start, wearing Bulova watches throughout his career. Some celebrities go where the paid endorsement takes them, but Sinatra was loyal to Bulova, and the partnership still produces gorgeous pieces.

What to know about G-Shock's 5th NASA themed watch
Casio watch on desk with equations and packaging

With Casio celebrating almost fifty years of classic and modern watchmaking, it’s only fitting that they celebrate with the 5th NASA-related watch in their collection. While they aren’t a direct partner, Casio has repeatedly shown its inspiration for all things outer space and innovation. Although the previous iterations of this NASA theme have been bold and bright, this subtle release speaks to a more nuanced connection. With a small nod to the classic Casio calculators, the watch company’s latest timepiece is easier to pair with everyday looks without losing the interstellar touch. Containing small NASA-inspired details, the newest Casio watch is a must-have for NASA and watch enthusiasts alike. 
Casio’s 50th-anniversary release

While many collaborations don’t contain more than a few releases, the partnership between Casio and NASA now has five unique watches to its name. The latest release, GW6900NASA241, is not only an ode to NASA and space travel but also serves as a celebration of Casio’s 50th watch anniversary. Unlike Casio’s previous bold yellow and white colorways, the newest piece is all about sleek and subtle. In a modern black, the GW6900NASA241 contains the classic NASA logo, adorned with red, yellow, and blue accents. These colors are similar to those found on Casio’s iconic calculators, a nod to the importance of mathematics and precise calculations in space exploration. As a special touch, the caseback for this piece contains the formula for the force of impact.
