A Look at Casio G-shock Watches

Casio entered the digital time-piece market in 1974. It was a very new market then and until then watches were the usual kind - with hands. Casio had mastered the digital technology long back with its calculators and other digital equipment, so the foray into the digital watch world wasn't too difficult for them. They took the watch community by storm with the Casiotron - the first digital watch to feature an auto-calendar i.e. Without the need to adjust for day and date each month. Since then Casio hasn't looked back. Whatever who know Whatever about watches has heard the word G-Shock. If you haven't, then what are you doing reading this? just kidding, its never too late to learn Whatever new. The first G-Shock watch was introduced in 1983. And the series has not looked back since. The common perception while that time was that watches are brittle and need to be handled with care and taken care of.

The G-Shock scheme team's main objective was to challenge this perception and archive what they termed the 'triple 10′ - a watch that will actually last for 10 years, will be 10 bar (100m) water defiant and will be perfectly fine even after being dropped from a height of 10 meters. Not only did the team archive these objectives, the G-Shock series has just kept on enhancing since then. Casio has many G-Shock lineups and they continue to keep on adding to them. Newer G-Shocks come in assorted flavors - featuring mud, dust resistance, atomic controlled (wave ceptor), 200m water resistance is the norm now. Some of the series contain - Mudman, Riseman, Gulfman, Giez, Wave Ceptor, Cockpit, Tough Solar, Frogman etc.
