Gshock.com has posted news that the mirror-faced DW6900CB series will be coming to America. The face plate of each of these watches has a shiny metallic surface that is very reflective. The stock images don't really do these justice. This series includes the black DW-6900CB-1DR, blue DW-6900CB-2DR, red DW-6900CB-4DR and silver DW-6900CB-8DR. These will all retail for a nice $99 USD. The press release says they are available now across the US, but you might have to wait a little bit before you're able to throw one in your shopping cart.

"A continuation of the G-Shock traditions of toughness and technology, we are thrilled to offer consumers the DW6900CB,” said Shigenori Itoh, Vice President of Casio’s Timepiece Division. “The new Mirror Face G-Shock timepieces perfectly combine our noteworthy technology with our pacesetting style."

Pepsi and Zero Halliburton luggage have teamed up with Casio to create a new G-Shock based on the Metallic Color DW-6900CC-2DR. It's hard to tell from the photos, but it looks like they might have simply slapped a Pepsi logo on the band and called it a day. Hopefully, this will be cleared up with some better photos. These will be given away to special celebrity-types for now, and maybe there will be a retail release in the future.
