    Why is the Parra x G Shock 5600 so unpopular?

    I've been looking at limited editions for quite a while now, and I've noticed the Parra isn't popular at all, why is that?
    Is it because of it's colors, or was it massed produced? You can even get it on eBay for less than retail and in new condition.

    Really, I didn't know it is unpopular. I love the color combo!
    If it is indeed not popular...hmm...perhaps some think top pink strap with baby blue looks girly?
    If I have lots money, i'll get one.

    Feminine pastel shades = niche market.

    I think G-Shock Absorber is right. From G-Shock site:

    I'll chime in because I own one. I got it because it was the first collaboration model that I could get my hands on when I started getting in to Gs. Problem is that I have NEVER worn it. Not once. It is so hard to find anything that it matches. Cool watch, cool collaboration, but I agree with the previous sentiments...it's not the prettiest G out there.

    Plus, I could go buy another at the mall down the street right now if I wanted to...they're not as hard to find.

    I like the color scheme too. I think it is a nice summer watch.

    It's not a color combination for those less daring. I like it, but only if it's not made in China.

    Yeah, I thought his watch is real easy to match clothing. Dont really need to match the color exactly but, any color t-shirt Green, Yellow, Orange, white..etc with jeans the watch will speak out itself.
    It's voice is loud. I would say it works best with tan skin. Since it is in light pastel.
