G-Shock, a brand launched by Casio in the eighties and currently still one of the most popular watch brands which exists, both for women and for men. And then we have not even talked about the extremely cool designs! All this makes a G-Shock watch not only tremendously functional, but also a real eye-catcher.
Casio tweaked the case and dial for this ’90s model, adding those three round counters and a couple of big screws in the bezel. It has 29 time zones and improved visibility, but more importantly it’s graced the wrists of Pharrell, Usher, Kanye and Walter “Shomer f$%#ing shabbos” Sobchak in The Big Lebowski. Many harken back to the earliest G-Shocks with squarish cases that appeared in 1981 from the drawing pad of renowned Casio designer Kikuo Ibe. The broad category of digital watches, however, ranges from small retro-styled units to some of the wildest behemoths in the G-Shock range.
Watches.com carries G-shock watches for military personnel as well as the ultra-rare, limited edition G-Shock collaborations that sell out FAST. G-Shock watches are ultra tough, durable watches with an impressive history. These Casio watches feature complex functions like GPS location, tide tracking, depth meters, altimeters, barometers, compasses, solar power dials, and much more.
Would have been great if you could have suggested more consistant options aiming the same market target. If it is more important to flash the brand name in a smaller, lighter package then the CasiOaks may be just the watch for g shock protection you. Do not misunderstand me, I can see how this range makes complete commercial sense to Casio. They have a hugely successful brand and why not expand it, perhaps to cover other equipment such as backpacks or sunglasses.
Compare the new and vintage Casio models and you can clearly see the family trait, nevertheless the moniker of “CasiOak” has stuck and the GA-2100 will forever be known as such. Vintage classics like the first Casio G-Shock DW-5000C model are still a great find, especially for a collector. Even though the DW-5000C came out in 1983, it can still hold on its own due to its simplistic design and color scheme.

“The goal is not to test over and over, but to make different tests and effective tests,” said Shohei Ogawa, from the company’s quality assurance department for timepieces. For example, a diving watch would have a pressure test but a standard timepiece would not. Casio G-Shock has proved to be one of the most lucrative lines for Casio’s watch business unit. Kikuo Ibe is the man behind the wildly popular watch, who drummed up the idea of a durable yet affordable watch back in the 1980s, because he broke the valuable timepiece that his father passed on to him. He becomes the Casio’s chief engineer of module development at its timepiece division today.
