L.A. Street Style Meets G-SHOCK’s Legendary Toughness to Create The DWE5600UD

DOVER, N.J., May 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Casio America, Inc. is excited to unveil the DWE5600UD, a special edition timepiece created in collaboration with global sportswear brand, UNDEFEATED. This latest partnership between G-SHOCK and UNDEFEATED seamlessly blends both brands’ legendary designs to build on the success of their 2023 collaboration that celebrated G-SHOCK’s 40th anniversary.

The DWE5600UD is a striking new timepiece that authentically combines UNDEFEATED’s street style with G-SHOCK’s extreme durability. Drawing design elements from the square DWE5600, the collaboration model makes a bold statement with a vibrant green LCD screen on the watch face paired with a sleek black base.

Showcasing the collaboration between both brands, the iconic UNDEFEATED 5-strike logo appears prominently on the case back, subtly on the short band strap as well as on the watch’s face, hidden until lit by a red LED backlight.

The default black translucent band showcases the hotstamped UNDEFEATED name and 5-strike with subtlety. For added versatility, alongside this main resin band, the DWE5600UD comes with two additional interchangeable bands, both featuring exclusive UNDEFEATED camouflage patterns. Wearers may select a tiger camouflage design with an opaque finish or storm camouflage on a semi-translucent band that blends with skin tones, offering a customizable look. The mix-and-match options empower individuals to create a style that uniquely reflects their individuality.

The G-SHOCK x UNDEFEATED collaboration model will proudly be presented in exclusive black and camo packaging designed by UNDEFEATED. The DWE5600UD is a testament to the enduring synergy between UNDEFEATED’s streetwear expertise and G-SHOCK’s legendary toughness, extending their iconic collaboration to new heights.

About G-SHOCK
CASIO’s shock-resistant G-SHOCK watch is synonymous with toughness, born from the developer Mr. Ibe’s dream of ‘creating a watch that never breaks’. Over 200 handmade samples were created and tested to destruction until finally in 1983 the first, now iconic G-SHOCK hit the streets of Japan and began to establish itself as ‘the toughest watch of all time’. Each watch encompasses the 7 elements; electric shock resistance, gravity resistance, low temperature resistance, vibration resistance, water resistance, shock resistance and toughness. The watch is packed with Casio innovations and technologies to prevent it from suffering direct shock; this includes internal components protected with urethane and suspended timekeeping modules inside the watch structure. Since its launch, G-SHOCK has continued to evolve, continuing to support on Mr. Ibe’s mantra “never, never give up.”www.gshock.casio.com/us/

LineLeader Sets New Standard in Childcare Software with More Custom Reporting

Published

on

By

ADDISON, Texas, May 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — LineLeader by ChildcareCRM (“LineLeader”), the leading provider of unified SaaS software and digital payment solutions for the early childhood education (ECE) market, announced the launch of the Custom Report Builder in their management system, LineLeader Manage, bringing unparalleled flexibility and insight to reporting for ECE organizations.

This launch builds on LineLeader’s established reputation for delivering advanced reporting functionality for ECE.

This new feature allows users to build reports tailored to their exact needs— adding or removing fields, sorting and filtering data, viewing pivot tables, and visualizing results in graph format. It’s the most powerful and flexible reporting experience in the industry and a significant leap forward from traditional static reports.

Last year, 64% of childcare professionals named reporting on business performance a key challenge (a 10% increase from 2023). Amid declining occupancy and growing financial strain, childcare leaders need to establish flexible reporting processes that help drive better decisions across various locations.

“This release reinforces our commitment to providing operators with the real-time and customizable data they need for operational insights and informed decision-making. A customizable reporting suite is crucial for business scaling, and we believe this offering is a significant step towards addressing that need,” said Brett Neller, CEO at LineLeader.

The Custom Report Builder supports seven data types: Attendance, General Ledger, Invoices, Labor, Moments, People, and Organizational data. Users can easily select the fields they want to include, filter by date ranges, and sort results to highlight what matters most. Once configured, reports can be saved, exported, and shared.

This launch builds on LineLeader’s established reputation for delivering advanced reporting functionality across the full enrollment lifecycle. With LineLeader’s childcare CRM, LineLeader Enroll, customers can already access detailed marketing and enrollment performance reports— like campaign ROI, lead source attribution, and lost opportunity analysis with either standard or custom reporting capabilities. Together, LineLeader’s reporting suite offers organizations a complete, data-driven view of their business— from the first family interaction to long-term operational planning.

“The value of reporting isn’t in the data— it’s in what you do with it,” said Teddy Hook, VP of Product at LineLeader. “We built our custom reporting suite to be a true growth engine— turning insight into action so operators can make faster, smarter decisions that move their business forward.” 

With this release, LineLeader continues to push the boundaries of what childcare software can do— making it easier than ever for directors and corporate leaders to harness data, improve operations, and drive long-term growth.

About LineLeader by ChildcareCRM:

LineLeader offers digital registration software, full-featured childcare CRM software, a combined family app and center management system, along with the Unified platform, which provides comprehensive visibility into every contact throughout various stages of their enrollment journey.

So, while each tool is powerful on its own, they truly innovate when used together.
