Casio G-Shock watch
Casio G-Shock
The legendary Casio G-Shock watch celebrates its 40th anniversary this year. Over the years, they have not lost ground and are still considered one of the best Japanese accessories.
Casio G-Shock - from the beginning to today
Until the beginning of the 80s. In the 20th century, the Japanese brand Casio was known as a manufacturer of calculators, but when the active development of electronic watches began, it could not stand aside. It was decided not just to release another digital device, but to make a real revolution. As a result, in 1983, the first model of the G-Shock collection appeared - the DW-5000C. It showed the time and day of the week, and also had qualities unprecedented for those years: water resistance of 10 bar, battery life of 10 years, and can withstand a fall from a height of 10 m.
The company did not stop there. Now the Casio G-Shock men's watch is a lot of series, innovative developments, attractive design, and the highest quality. Before being put into production, each model undergoes Tough Tests, a series of tests that simulate harsh operating conditions.
What is the feature?
The main feature of Casio men's accessories is manufacturability, but not only this made them one of the most popular in the world.
The collection includes models with three types of indication: analog, digital, analog-to-digital. The watches are distinguished by their reliability and high precision. The case is not afraid of shocks, mechanical influences and water. The level of protection against external factors depends on the range, for example, Mudmaster is resistant to mud, sand, blizzard, G-Lide models for winter sports withstand severe frosts.
Japanese accessories have a different set of additional functions: a pedometer, an alarm clock, a compass, world time, a stopwatch, height and depth detection, etc.
One step ahead
A number of innovations are used in Casio G Shock watches:
- Tough Solar: A miniature solar panel on the watch face charges the battery by converting even the smallest amount of light into energy. If you stay in the dark for a long time, the power saving mode will automatically turn on. In the complete absence of lighting, the battery will last for up to 24 months.
- hybrid GPS technology: combines GPS signal reception and radio synchronization, determines the exact time almost anywhere in the world. If no radio signal is available, only GPS is used. If necessary, manual adjustment is possible.
- Multiband 6: thanks to radio synchronization, after setting the time zone, the exact local time is always displayed. In Europe, the changeover from winter time to summer time is automatically performed.
- Bluetooth: The proprietary Bluetooth module in the men's accessories syncs with the iPhone and performs a number of functions:
- Notifies you of incoming calls and messages
- helps you find your lost phone
- Automatically syncs time with smartphone
- notifies you of problems with mobile communications or the Internet
- Smart Access: Intelligent access to key functions via the crown
The best price solution
There is an opinion that all men's Casio watches are cheap. But it's not. The price of accessories depends on materials, functions and technologies. There are really expensive and very serious watches, there are also more budget ones. Models Ga-100, Ga-2100, G-Shock 5081 will cost less than $200. They are made of plastic and have a minimal set of functions.
Thus, the G-Shock collection includes watches of different price categories: from budget to expensive collectibles.
