G-SHOCK+ will be made available for download concurrently with the release of the watches.
The new watches released today come with a second-generation engine, which not only ensures a stable connection, but also enables remote two-way operability with a smartphone, greatly enhancing not only usability itself but also the number of things the user can do.

A button on the watch can be used to operate smartphone applications, and a paired smartphone can be used to set features on the watch, such as the timer and alarm.
The GB-6900B takes its shape from the classic G-SHOCK DW-6900, while the GB-X6900B has a big watchcase to emphasize toughness, also influenced by the design of the DW-6900. The GB-6900B comes in four models, and the GB-X6900B comes in three models.
