Casio, the Japanese electronics company, has partnered with Polygon Labs, an Ethereum scaling developer, to launch its virtual G-SHOCK watch on Polygon's protocols. The launch will begin with an NFT-based collection of community access passes, with users able to claim one of 15,000 passes from September 23.

Casio has selected Polygon for its web3 venture as it enables "lightning-fast transactions to make the process of minting and managing their NFTs seamless, convenient and carbon-neutral." The collection will be available to residents of 15 countries, including the US, UK, Germany, and Japan.
