Casio Malaysia keeps bringing the sauce! The Company has released the latest addition to the G-LIDE line-up of watches for extreme sports, which are part of the company’s G-SHOCK branding. The new watch, the GLX-5600KI, is a signature model endorsed by pro surfer Kanoa Igarashi.
Igarashi was born in California, USA in 1997 and started surfing at the age of three. Since then he has gone on to win a number of major surfing competitions and is currently a world-class professional surfer competing on the World Surf League Championship Tour at the top of the sport.
The new watch is based on the G-LIDE GLX-5600 which features a tide graph, an indispensable tool for surfers. The thin, square shape of the watch ensures that it does not obstruct the wrist while surfing. The GLX-5600KI features a semi-transparent body that evokes the ocean and is paired with a mirror finish face that gives the watch a simple, cool finish. Igarashi’s “Kanoa” signature is inscribed on the upper center of the watch face and on the strap keeper and case back, as well as in illumination when the backlight is turned on.
To put it shortly, the watch is a thing of beauty. Priced at RM 599, it’s definitely a steal for all Casio enthusiasts and hypebeasts alike and is now available in G-Factory stores and authorized dealers nationwide. With its sleek look and transparent body though, you don’t want to sleep on this one.
