Watches

Casio G-Shock DW-002

Worn by Jim Carrey as Chip Douglas. Chip wears a square-cased Casio G-Shock from the DW-002 line, its case shape and red accent corners legible in the bathroom scene though the dim light keeps the body reading as charcoal. WatchReel identifies it specifically as the grey-and-coral DW-002BJ-4 Japanese-market colorway; a WatchUSeek thread settles the model as a DW-002 without resolving the exact suffix, so the BJ-4 variant stays a probable read. Casio's FOX FIRE electro-luminescent backlight and the 200 m case suit a character raised by television and wired for obsession. (WatchReel, WatchUSeek)
