G-SHOCK Buyer's Guide

The G-SHOCK watches from Casio inspire with top technology, robustness and stylish design. Casio itself describes them as the toughest watches of all time. The Triple 10 concept of Casio's G-SHOCK watches promises a battery life of 10 years, a water resistance of 10 bar and robustness, even in the event of a fall from a height of 10 meters. The concept is complemented by the use of solar technology and a radio station. This makes a G-SHOCK watch from Casio a robust, environmentally friendly timepiece in a modern design.

CASIO G-SHOCK: A Masterpiece of Robustness and Innovation

The development of G-SHOCK watches at Casio began back in 1981 with the mission to create a watch that was robust and could survive a fall to the ground without damage. The name comes from the fact that the watches had to withstand the shock generated by gravity, i.e. G-SHOCK. Two years after the start of development and after countless prototypes, the first satisfactory model was finally created. Today, Casio is one of the world's leading manufacturers of watches, where they are particularly known for their G-SHOCK series.

Why Choose a G-SHOCK Watch?

The G-SHOCK watches are designed to absolute perfection and therefore offer world-class top quality. This way, you'll never be left with a watch that doesn't work. The actual development of G-SHOCK is based on the so-called "Triple 10" concept. This concept implies that the watch must always withstand a fall from a height of 10 meters onto a concrete floor. In addition, the watch must be water-resistant to 10 bar (approx. 100 meters sea depth) and at the same time have a battery life of 10 years. Therefore, with G-SHOCK watches, you can always be sure that the watch meets the three important elements:

• Withstands hard drops to the ground
• Extreme waterproofing
• Long battery life

• Charging via solar cells

In order to meet the high demands of the developer, the new wristwatch had to meet the requirements of the "Triple 10" concept. According to this, it should have a battery life of 10 years, survive falls from a height of 10 meters and withstand water pressure of up to 10 bar. At the same time, this new watch was to be multifunctional and captivating in its design.

All-round protection thanks to resin case and flexible strap

The case of the classic G-SHOCK today is made of stainless steel and resin, a synthetic resin known for its durability and flexibility. This guarantees all-round protection and makes the classic CASIO watch resistant to shocks. The same flexible material resin is also used for the bracelets. This allows it to serve as a shock absorber in the event of a fall. At the same time, the length of the bracelet of the CASIO G-SHOCK adapts to the arm circumference that changes throughout the day and depending on the activity. Scratch-resistant mineral glass is used for covering. G-SHOCK watches have proven themselves in the most extreme conditions, which is why they are the favorites of those who are active and like to be on the move, and for good reason.

A revolutionary concept

Kikuo Ibe, designer at Casio, had an important task: to create the most powerful watch in the world. His mission came about after the traditional watch (a gift from his late father) broke. After rigorous testing and many more prototypes, the groundbreaking first G-SHOCK watch was finally created in 1983: the DW-5000C. A revolutionary concept, thanks to its (shock-resistant structure) well suited to survive a free fall from a height of 10 meters. Water-resistant to 10 bar and a battery life of at least 10 years. These achievements not only gave G-SHOCK a meteoric rise, but more importantly, a prominent place in the world of watches.

Technological innovations

The brand has continued to push the boundaries of watch technology, introducing features that meet the zeitgeist and the needs of watch enthusiasts. This has contributed to its position as a market leader. Models powered by solar energy (Tough Solar), with a solar cell on the dial that stores sunlight and is environmentally friendly. The solar cell thus supplies the watch with energy. Excess energy is stored in the battery and released in a dark environment. Also, consider models whose sensors accurately measure GPS position, altitude, and temperature. The GPS data is also supplemented by tide charts and maps, especially for surfers, sailors and other water sports enthusiasts.
