Expert ScoreRead review

The iconic DW-6900 is one of the best-selling G-Shock models of all time and gained great popularity with celebrities in the hip hop scene along with military service members. The DW-6900 evolved from the Triple Graph design of the DW-5900 and the front light button structure of the DW-6600. The DW6900-1V is one of the most affordable G-Shock watches and is available discounted to around $50 at some retailers. Along with the DW-5600, the DW-6900 is a popular base model for limited editions and collaborations.

The DW-6900 was considered a larger oversized model back in the 1990s. In comparison to the larger G-Shock watches of today, we categorize it as a medium size, although it does wear larger and than the DW-5600.

G-Shock DW-6900 Rating By G-Central
The DW-6900 wears larger than the DW-5600 but the EL backlight is easier to activate with the front light button. Like the DW-5600, it lacks the features of higher priced models, but it offers great value at its commonly discounted price of around $50.
