Casio G Shock Watches

What makes the Casio G-Shock watch so desirable?

You might be wondering why Casio's G-shock watches are so popular. Simply put, the Casio G-Shock watch is the ultimate tough watch. When the developers made the G-Shock watch, they wanted to create a watch that was water resistant,a watch that had a 10 year battery life, and one that could survive the 10-meter free-fall endurance test. The hollow structure of the watch products it from shocks.

A few of the 'shock' tests include:

Drop Shock Test - The watch is dropped 10 meters
Piston Shock Test- This is a repeated impact test, where the watch is pounded repeatedly
Water Shock Test- This is a deep water test ( over 200 meters deep )to check water pressure resistance.
Ice Shock Test - The watch is frozen in ice, and is still working.
Hammer Shock Test- This is similar to the piston shock test, but the watch is hit with a very heavy hammer, over and over again.
Vibration Shock Test- In this test, the watch goes through a vibration machine. Again, the watch is still working.

Because the Casio G-Shock watch is so tough, it is used frequently be athletes, especially surfers, snowboarder and skateboarders.

The solar powered G-Shock watches are recharged via solar panels on the face of the watch. Either sunlight or fluorescent lighting will charge the batter.

G-Shock watches are available for both men and women. You can purchase a digital watch or analog watch. The watches have backlights, alarms and timers, and high performing sensors that measure directions, altitude, and atmospheric pressure.
