For this list, we are defining tricolor rainbow G-Shock watches as those in which the bezel, upper band, and lower band each have a different color. (We are not referring to the “rainbow IP” models that have a stainless steel bezel with a multi-color ion plating, although such models may qualify.) These multicolor models are rather uncommon but also sought after, and they seem to be increasing in frequency lately. The average person may never consider wearing one of these, but they can make a great accessory with the right outfit, or just a cool collectible on a display shelf. Most of these models were limited editions or have been discontinued, so eBay may be the only place to buy them now.
