G-shock Smartphone Link watches more than a wristwatch

Since its launch in 1983, Casio's G-Shock watches have been appreciated around the world for their toughness and resistance to breaking even when dropped. Ibe Kikuo, was responsible for the creation of the G-Shock, a great success with more than 100 million watches sold that continues to grow without stopping.

It all started with a one-sentence plan, a robust watch that won't break if dropped.

In 1981, five years after joining Casio Computer, Ibe Kikuo submitted a proposal. That's when he collided with someone and his watch fell, breaking the glass and spilling the hands and case back.

He then thought "if there is a watch that does not break, surely there is someone who will be happy to have it." Said and done, then he went to work, but he never imagined that it would become a watch with followers all over the world.

He designed the G-shock watches with five workers who worked near the Hamura Technical Center in mind. At that time, shock and vibration from the use of shovels, hammers, and rock drills were the watch's worst enemy. None of the construction workers wore watches.

The development team named it "Project Team Tough" to achieve "The Triple 10": resistance capable of withstanding a fall from a height of 10 meters, waterproof up to 10 bars (100 meters deep) and a duration of 10 year battery.

Today, the drop impact tests of G-shock watches are carried out in the quality assurance laboratory. Most of this test equipment is manufactured in-house.

In fact, the sales of the 2010s have surpassed those of the boom of the 1990s. In fact, some analysts believe that the spread of smartphones has made it easier for people who had never worn a watch to keep track of time, and that This has increased the number of people who want to wear a watch with a design that they like.

You can also use the app to check time-related regulations, such as changes in time zones and the start and end of daylight saving time in regions around the world, and add them to the watch's internal data. The correct time is always displayed based on the latest time information.

precise time system

This advanced time correction system acquires time data from an Internet-based server anywhere in the world and combines it with time information from a Casio proprietary database to determine the precise current time.

Easy clock setting

Watch functions that can be easily managed on the smartphone app include setting the world time city (over 300 cities), home time/world time display switching, and setting the alarm/ timer. This means that you can use a variety of convenient features at will without touching any buttons on the watch.
