G-SHOCK Watches
G-SHOCK: Innovative watch technology
For 40 years, the CASIO G-SHOCK has been a symbol of robustness, innovative technology and striking designs. It was developed in 1983 by Kikuo Ibe, who wanted to create a watch that could withstand extreme conditions in accordance with the ‘Triple 10’ concept: 10 years of battery life, drop resistance from a height of 10 metres and water resistance up to 10 bar. The first G-SHOCK, the DW-5000C-1A, revolutionised the market and quickly became a cult object, especially among younger customers. To this day, CASIO remains true to the original basic design, but continuously improves the technology and materials, including durable resin, shock-absorbing wristbands and scratch-resistant mineral glass.
Functionality and style
Modern G-SHOCK watches impress with their wide variety of models and advanced functions. In addition to digital watches and hybrid analogue-digital variants, there are numerous colours and designs to choose from. Technically, they offer features such as solar power, radio signal reception and, in many models, Bluetooth for smartphone connectivity. Outdoor enthusiasts benefit from the compass, altimeter, thermometer and barometer, while athletes appreciate the stopwatch and speed measurement functions. In the CASIO online shop, you will find a wide selection of G-SHOCK watches – for adventurers and fans of special designer collaborations alike.
