Look, Casio, I am not mad — just disappointed. The latest-greatest, top-tier, AI-designed G-Shock MT-G watches, specifically the G-Shock MTG-B4000B-1A2 and MTG-B4000-1A, debuted on YouTube (which would have been all well and good), and yet we have not heard a single word officially from Casio on this release.

Folks spraying subway cars, alleyways, and industrial compounds of NYC with the origins of graffiti for the Big Apple are now in their 60s, 70s, and beyond — and I’m sure, few of them would have bet at the time that their expressions would eventually end up on a Bulova watch dial in 2025. But it did, surrounded by another visual expression that traces its roots to the 1970s: the Super Seville.
