I’m feeling pretty unimpressed by the basic change of color way. I am tired of these limited editions. These companies are just limiting supply and hyping the demand to grab some cash. Congrats to your friend on picking one up.

I'm still enjoying mine. People think it's boring, but I'm not sure what else they were expecting. If there were a lot of writing on it, people would complain about that too. Tough solar and multi-band 6 would have been nice, but I'm okay without it. It's a tasteful tribute to John Mayer's Casio keyboard and I think it's well done. That's the main reason I bought it. Not because it's some Hodinkee limited edition that will go up in value. Great story behind it!

Yeah, I should have picked one of these up! Just not a big fan of either in the calab, but it is good looking! Like you, I enjoy the squares more, but I have more 6900's in my collection. May be that they come out with so many color variants, and is it just me, or do they seem more readily available, like the market is saturated with 6900 G Shocks as apposed to their other models?

Casio did a number of collabs with US based brands some years ago. I guess the hype for G-Shock died off in the States. That's possibly why the lack of US based collabs. I have a number of 6900s. I also think Mayer is talented. It's a great choice of color. I just don't think it's worth the hype, imo. I've seen better general release colorways. I might've picked one up if it went on sale. Respect to those who purchased one.

Sorry . . . Hodinkee hawking a battery powered DW6900 that can be bought for under $50 merely by using a different color and jacking the price 360% to $180 isn't going to see a single thin dime from me. Over twice the price of a GW6900-1 6-band solar atomic. Hold its value and appreciate over time? I don't think so. The price will spike for a brief time with scalpers flipping them just after Hodinkee runs out. Ten years from now it won't be worth any more than any other used normal color DW6900-1 on ePrey.
