What We Know
Whether you eat your banana traditionally or the long way, BAIT sees you and wants you to know your food-oriented horological stylings don’t have to be confined to egg timers or rolling some beautiful bean footage. To honor that sometimes green, sometimes yellow, sometimes brown, sometimes in your freezer fruit (which is surprisingly grown in greenhouses in the cold Yamagata Prefecture, where G-Shocks are often made), the new collaboration is a speckled DW5600 like you know and love, just bananafied.
What more can you say? The DW5600 is the G-Shock for a lot of people, and measures 42.8mm by 13.4mm in a resin plastic case. Now it’s yellow, with brown accents in the text (and on the bezel and even a faux-sticker on the strap) and a just-ripe tip to the strap. The packaging is a special can and box with a brand-new makeshift mascot, “Shawty with Freckles” — think Chiquita banana without the copyright violation. But the made-up brand and made-up bananas have to come from somewhere. That place is BAIT FARMS, and they’re releasing a bunch of other apparel (hat, T-shirt, a blue-and-white striped workshirt, and a cotton canvas work jacket) so you can get to work at the farm. Otherwise, it’s possible you’ll have no bananas. You’ll have no bananas today.
One of the best features is always the backlight, and this time you get the kissing banana as the background on the watch. Pricing hasn’t been shared for the accessories, but we’re a watch website, so we’ll just stick with that price: $170. It’s a limited release, but no total number has been given.
What We Think
The best way to describe this watch is what I said to the editorial team when I told them about the watch: “There’s a lot going on. I don’t understand any of it, but there’s a lot going on, and I’m here for it.” BAIT’s CEO and owner, Eric Peng Cheng, and I both agreed over WhatsApp messages that if a G-Shock is too serious, it doesn’t exactly feel like a G-Shock in our minds. Does anyone need a banana-themed watch? Not unless you work at Dole or you’re a fan of banana bread at work, dude. Hell yeah. I’ve got a Pelican case full of G-Shocks and, even though I probably won’t wear the striped shirt, I’m always down for a cool little fall jacket, so I give this a solid K+ (for potassium). Just don’t throw it in the freezer if you leave it out too long.
