Casio and South Korean streetwear label thisisneverthat are giving the square G-SHOCK another nostalgic run into the late-’90s.
The new DW-5600TNT-7 is built on the classic DW-5600 platform, a shape that most people picture when they hear G-SHOCK: square case, digital display, chunky bezel text and enough toughness to survive a little bit of this and a little bit of that. It’s a familiar look to Casio’s translucent versions, though the thisisneverthat branding tells you it’s something else entirely.
Founded in 2010, thisisneverthat has built its name on contemporary streetwear filtered through Korean youth culture and ’90s Seoul subculture. For its latest G-SHOCK collaboration, the label hasn’t tried to reinvent the 5600. It has kept the bones in place and changed the atmosphere around it.
The case and strap arrive in translucent resin, with the black inner case showing through underneath. Across the face, thisisneverthat branding sits above the inverted LCD, giving the watch a sharper black-and-white look than the standard digital square. It’s clean, slightly cold and deliberately nostalgic, like a clear plastic pager pulled from a Seoul skate shop.
Its best detail shows up when the lights go down. Casio has added a phosphorescent finish to the “PROTECTION” and “G-SHOCK” text at the top and bottom of the bezel, so the lettering glows in the dark. Something you can look forward to showing off on a night out.
thisisneverthat branding also appears on the case back and band loop, while the watch comes in special co-branded packaging designed for the collaboration.
Underneath the streetwear treatment, it’s still a DW-5600. That means shock resistance, 200-metre water resistance, a resin case and band, mineral glass, a 1/100-second stopwatch, countdown timer, multi-function alarm, flash alert, full auto-calendar, and an LED Super Illuminator backlight. Casio also lists the battery life at approximately five years.
Casio has listed the G-SHOCK x thisisneverthat DW-5600TNT-7 as a new July 2026 release. The watch is priced at USD $155 (AUD $220) via thisisneverthat, though Australian pricing and local availability have not yet been confirmed.
