DW-6900 Akira


Let’s go into details of these watches. First the Kenada model. It’s a bright red DW-6900FS model. If you look close, you even see it has a sparking glossy finish. The long strap shows the Capsule’s moto: “Good for Health, Bad for Education”. It is also written in Japanese as 健康優良不良少年. The bar code on the short strap got me puzzled for a while. It becomes clear if you watch closely in the scene where the Capsules are at the police station for interrogation. The police officer is holding Kaneda’s school pass and driver’s license. The number and bar code are from the driver’s licence. On top of the display you find 正 written. It means SHO. Sho is short for Shōtarō Kaneda, Kaneda’s full name. In Japan it is usual to mention the surname before the first name. There is a lot Japanese writing engraved on the back plate. Only part in English is “ADULTS ONLY”. The text is name and address of the Capsules hang out, the Harukiya Bar, based in a cellar of a building.
