Watches with stopwatch: CASIO G-SHOCK

The G-Shock watch is one of the most popular watches on the market. The G-Shock revolution was started more than 30 years ago by Japanese engineers Kikuo Ibe and Yuichi Maruda. This was at a time when watches were mainly used as a simple tool for finding out the exact time. Kikuo and Yuichi came up with a new concept. They developed a watch that could be dropped from a height of up to 10 metres without the risk of serious damage, with a water resistance of up to 100M and an extended battery life. Today, G-Shock watches are known for their extreme resistance to shocks, dust, centrifugal force, magnetic fields, water resistance up to 200M and a massive sports design with the structural use of carbon, stainless steel and glass fibre reinforced polyurethane. The G-Shock models are further characterised by excellent sensor equipment, in which an altimeter, depth gauge, barometer, compass or GPS have an irreplaceable place. For selected models, automatic radio signal reception from atomic clock transmitters and Tough Solar power supply are a matter of course. The most popular and most customer-sought G-Shock watch series include the G-Steel, Mudmaster and Rangeman series.

Casio G-Shock watches are among the most durable watches of all time, characterised by their unique design and features. This is a robust and high quality watch suitable for men, women and children.

History of Casio G-Shock watches

The history of Casio G-Shock watches dates back to 1981, when development began under the guidance of engineer Kikuo Ibe. He and his team were tasked with building a watch that had to meet three basic criteria.

TheCasio G-Shock watch had to withstand a drop from 10 meters, withstand water pressure of 10 atmospheres and the battery life had to be 10 years. The release of the first Casio G-Shock DW-5000C watch took over two years.

The durability of G-Shock watches lies primarily in the construction of the case and the placement of the module (movement). The module is flexibly anchored with a gel polymer and only touches the housing in a few places. The watch is protected from shocks, and the protruding points on the case and bezel are in most cases made of polyurethane resin. This protects the buttons and glass from impact.

Even the strap is designed to help insulate the watch from shocks. As a result, Casio G-Shock watches are considered to be the most durable watches in the world. This is a watch that is resistant to shock, shocks, strong vibrations, water and high centrifugal forces. According to Ibe, the "G" denotes the shock of the fall.

Among the most interesting facts, however, are the following:

●      The first analogue-digital Casio G-Shock watch was created in 1989.

●      The first real Casio Frogman DW-6300 dive watch with a water resistance of 20 atmospheres was created in 1993.
