New Drops From G-SHOCK x Hidden & Blancpain x Swatch Pack Green Style & Streetwear Edge

If your wrist is ready for an upgrade, these two new watches have you covered. From streetwear-ready G-SHOCK vibes to a sleek green Bioceramic dive watch, they're fun, functional, and made to turn heads. G-SHOCK x Hidden 5600 Series Two years after their first collaboration, streetwear favourite Hidden NY reunites with G-SHOCK for the new DW5600HDN257. This release takes the iconic rectangular G-SHOCK silhouette and gives it a fresh twist with a frosted white resin bezel and Hidden's signature green lettering. It is clean, crisp and made for those who appreciate subtle style cues. The dial stays minimal, letting the matte black bull bars stand out while adding extra protection. On the caseback, an engraved 'In The Blink Of An Eye' motif nods to Hidden's design DNA. Turn on the LED backlight and the Hidden icon logo appears, giving a secret detail that only reveals itself in the dark. Hidden's first G-SHOCK in 2023 had a transparent off-white design that divided opinions. The new DW5600HDN257 swaps that for a sleeker white and green colourway, keeping the rare bull bars for extra durability and style. With 200 metres of water resistance, a stopwatch, timer, alarm, second time zone and a comfortable integrated strap, it is a versatile watch that combines streetwear flair with G-SHOCK toughness. The G-SHOCK x Hidden NY DW5600HDN257 is now available for US$175 (~RM765) at G-SHOCK SoHo, online and Hidden's website while stocks last. Blancpain x Swatch Scuba Fifty Fathoms 'Green Abyss' Just in time for summer, the Blancpain x Swatch Scuba Fifty Fathoms returns in a fresh new green. The 'Green Abyss' edition brings a forest-green Bioceramic case and unidirectional dive bezel paired with cream Super-LumiNova hands and markers. It's a sleek, subtle take on the playful Swatch collaboration, perfect for those who want colour without going over the top. Inside, the watch is powered by the Swatch-made SISTEM51 automatic movement, a fully mechanical engine with 90 hours of power reserve and a smooth 21,600 vibrations per hour. Measuring 42.3mm by 14.4mm, the case combines presence and wearability, while the 91-metre water resistance ensures it can handle any summer adventure with ease. The Green Abyss balances colour and seriousness, sitting between the brighter Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Ocean models. Its NATO-style strap keeps it sporty and comfortable, while the mechanical movement, summer-ready green, and approachable price make it a playful yet practical standout in the Scuba Fifty Fathoms lineup. The Blancpain x Swatch Bioceramic Scuba Fifty Fathoms Green Abyss will retail for US$400 (~RM1,750) and is available now at Swatch boutiques nationwide and online while stocks last.

Shop owner in posh city had to close early after taking just £4.50 in a day

A shop owner in Bath says she made just £4.50 in a day—prompting her to close for two days out of despair. Natasha Whiting, who runs 'Hidden', says independent stores are being crushed by high costs, low footfall and online shopping. Her viral Instagram post sparked an outpouring of support from struggling shopkeepers. Though tourism is returning, many say spending is down. Whiting hopes to raise awareness of the pressures facing small businesses nationwide.

This Minimalist Beauty May Be the Best-Looking G-Shock I've Ever Seen

The Japanese brand, known for its ruggedness and unique styling blend, is crushing the summer watch game this year. Every product is carefully selected by our editors. If you buy from a link, we may earn a commission. Learn more G-Shock is no stranger to unleashing a bevy of new releases every year. However, 2025 appears to be the start of a particular trend. This is the era of the Japanese brand's summertime watch. This year's launch calendar has seen many smaller, more wearable timepieces and lighter colorways, from the Crocs CasiOak to a 'natural' Hender Scheme collab to a stark-white 5600. While they've largely been fantastic, the brand's latest, the G-Shock x Hidden DW5600HDN257, might just be the best one yet. When compared to, frankly, most of G-Shock's catalog, this watch is positively minimalist. But a keen eye will unravel the little details that make it such a spectacular standout. The most obvious detail is the bully bars. Ostensibly, the black metal wraparound frame is designed to protect the watch from impacts. It's a simple, relatively elegant innovation that other G-Shocks have sported. The collab's overall subtlety adds to the watch's allure and keeps the busyness to a minimum. But on this watch, the black stands out against the white case and dial, adding some depth and character. That brings up another point: No, the watch isn't just solid white; it's semitransparent. Unlike the bully bars, the case is much more subtle, requiring greater scrutiny to appreciate. Apart from the bully bars and, obviously, the black of the digital screen, the only other color marring this watch is the green found on the dial dots, exterior edges of the case — within the debossed 'Protection' and 'G-Shock' labels — and on the strap. That color, by the way, is Hidden's signature hue. Finally, there's one other sneaky detail. Behind the digital display and visible only when the LED backlight is turned on, there's a hidden Hidden logo (pardon the repetition). The collab's overall subtlety adds to the watch's allure and keeps the busyness to a minimum. As is always the case, even with these stylish collabs, a G-Shock is a G-Shock is a G-Shock. As such, this one maintains the same ruggedness you should always expect. It has the brand's signature shock-resistant housing, is water resistant to 200 meters, has a suite of built-in complications (stopwatch, timer, calendar — you know the drill) and so on. Plus, there's the added protection from the bully bars, which can be removed if you really dislike them, although that would cost this watch some of its charm. The greater point is that this watch isn't some delicate flower you need to keep protected under a glass cloche in a secret chamber in a mansion tower. Yeah, it looks great, but it's meant to be worn. If you get one, make sure you do it justice. The G-Shock x Hidden DW5600HDN257 dropped on Hidden's site at 3 PM EST today, July 11. But it won't stay in stock for long, least of all at $175. $175 at Hidden

Reduce import dependence on Lithium and Cobalt with AI: Union Minister

Union Minister for Coal and Mines G. Kishan Reddy said India's future economic strength depends on reducing dependence on import of key minerals like lithium and cobalt through AI-powered, clean, and efficient exploration methods. Emphasizing the strategic importance of critical minerals, the minister urged geoscientists to embrace emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Quantum Computing for enhanced exploration, including predicting hidden mineral resources and interpreting seismic data with greater precision. He was speaking at the inauguration of the two-day 'Next-Gen Geophysics 2025: Unlocking Earth's Hidden Treasures' international conference organised by the Geological Survey of India Training Institute (GSITI), Bandlaguda-Nagole, here on Monday (June 9, 2025). India is entering a new era where science, sustainability, and technology will play a pivotal role in mineral exploration. There is also a need for innovation alongside collaboration with academia, and industry. Flagship initiatives like the ₹10,300 crore India AI Mission and the ₹6,000 crore National Quantum Mission could become catalysts for innovation, he said. Mr. Reddy highlighted the establishment of the National Landslide Forecasting Centre and a recent Memorandum of Understanding with Italy for enhancing disaster preparedness. He called for the expansion of monitoring networks and the adoption of cutting-edge forecasting technologies. Responsible mining practices The Minister stressed the importance of responsible mining practices that benefit local communities and protect the environment. He highlighted the vital role of geophysics in achieving the goals of 'Viksit Bharat' by providing innovative tools to address challenges such as climate change, urbanization, and disaster risk mitigation. Earlier in the day, Mr. Reddy, along with Malakjgiri MP Eatala Rajender, inaugurated two newly inducted Hydrostatic Drill Rigs, the next-gen geophysics expo pavilion, showcasing advanced geophysical tools and AI-enabled exploration models. GSITI's deputy director general S. Ravi, GSI DG Asit Saha, additional director S.D. Patbhaje, leading geoscientific experts from the country and abroad participated, as per a press release.
