G-SHOCK Teams Up With J Balvin For A Bold, Customisable Drop That Hits Different
Big vibes, bold design. Global reggaeton icon J Balvin just linked up with G-SHOCK for a fresh new collab that's electric — literally. Say hello to the DWE-5600JB 'Ma G', a limited-edition timepiece that fuses J Balvin's signature lightning bolt style with G-SHOCK's iconic toughness.
And this isn't just another artist collab. This is G-SHOCK's first-ever team-up with a Latin artist, and the first watch ever from the brand to feature Spanish text on its dial. Spicy, personal, and unapologetically stylish.
Wear Your Mood. Literally.
Built for those who never settle for just one look, the Ma G watch comes with interchangeable bezels and bands – giving fans up to eight custom combinations to match every outfit, vibe, or random Tuesday energy. Go sleek with black or turn heads with vibrant yellow – it's your time to flex.
Front and centre? J Balvin's signature lightning bolt – a nod to his electrifying stage presence – plus a handwritten-style function label in Spanish, adding a raw, personal touch straight from the artist himself.
'G-SHOCK's tough and bold style has always resonated with my journey,' says J Balvin. 'With this collab, I wanted to create something that reflects my music and culture – and lets fans express themselves in a bold, personal way.'
From Medellín To The World
For Balvin, G-SHOCK was more than just a watch – it was a symbol of strength and self-expression. From his days growing up in Medellín to headlining the G-SHOCK 40th anniversary celebration, the connection runs deep. Now, they're making history together.
The collab name, 'Ma G,' is what Balvin calls his inner circle – a term of endearment, power, and unity. And just like that name, this watch is designed to bring people together through culture, colour, and creativity.
