History of Casio G-Shock watches

The history of Casio G-Shock watches dates back to 1981, when development began under the guidance of engineer Kikuo Ibe. He and his team were tasked with building a watch that had to meet three basic criteria.

TheCasio G-Shock watch had to withstand a drop from 10 meters, withstand water pressure of 10 atmospheres and the battery life had to be 10 years. The release of the first Casio G-Shock DW-5000C watch took over two years.

The durability of G-Shock watches lies primarily in the construction of the case and the placement of the module (movement). The module is flexibly anchored with a gel polymer and only touches the housing in a few places. The watch is protected from shocks, and the protruding points on the case and bezel are in most cases made of polyurethane resin. This protects the buttons and glass from impact.

Even the strap is designed to help insulate the watch from shocks. As a result, Casio G-Shock watches are considered to be the most durable watches in the world. This is a watch that is resistant to shock, shocks, strong vibrations, water and high centrifugal forces. According to Ibe, the "G" denotes the shock of the fall.
