### Key Features and Specifications
#### Models and Design
The Hidden Glow Series Vol. 2 showcases translucent white resin cases with matte finishes and subtle pastel details. The models vary in size:

Under UV light, the watches reveal neon-colored numerals, glowing LCDs, and stealth symbols that glow in different hues, creating a striking "Sea of Stars" effect.
#### Display Variants
Both the DW6900 and GA2100 models come in positive and negative LCD display options. The positive LCD offers bright, bold daylight readability, while the negative LCD provides a darker, moodier look that intensifies with UV glow.
#### Durability and Performance
As with all G-SHOCK watches, the Hidden Glow Series Vol. 2 boasts shock-resistant construction and water resistance rated at 200m (20 bar), making them suitable for swimming and snorkelling. Their durable build accommodates tough conditions by day and glowing style by night.
#### Functional Features
The series includes a hand shift feature, world time covering 48 cities, a 1/100-second stopwatch, timer, alarm signal/hourly time signal, flashing alert functionality, and a calendar with a backlight featuring a special light colour contributing to the glow effect.

### Summary
The G-SHOCK Hidden Glow Series Vol. 2 offers robust shock and water resistance, unique UV-reactive aesthetics, and multiple functional features, including stopwatch and world time, in a stylish translucent white resin body.
