The Superior Qualities of G Shock Watches
In the last few years, the watch industry has been flooded by new companies offering trendy designs and numerous features. Many of the older, established companies are slowly fading away. This is not the case with Casio. Casio has built up an empire that is based on a dedication to quality, and futuristic features. They have branched out into a few lines to accommodate their wide diversity. One of Casio’s leading collections is their line of G Shock watches.
The G in G shock stands for ‘gravity.’ G Shock watches were modeled based on a concept of the triple ten theory. This means that G Shock watches can withstand a drop of ten meters, have ten years of battery life, and are water resistant for at least ten meters. The first G Shock watches were designed by a team of three Japanese men, Kikuo Ibe headed the team, and he worked with Yuichi Masuda and Takashi Nikaido. They tested their creations by throwing them out of a window ten meters off the ground. After two years of testing and failures, they finally achieved their goal. G Shock watches are made out of the toughest rubber, so that they are extremely durable.
The first G Shock watch that was put on the shelves was DW 500. Eight original prototypes were made, of which Kikuo Ibe owns one. G Shock watches have today come to be known as arguably the most durable watches on the market, and have far surpassed the original triple ten theory. Today they may sport thermometers, barometers, atomic timekeeping, and more. From extreme adventurers, to sportsmen, to many militaries G Shock watches are a unanimous favorite.
Even with an economy that is floundering, G Shock watches remain strong. This is because many consider a G Shock watch a necessity, rather than a luxury. People also like the idea that it is meant to last, as opposed to the disposable thinking that is a way of life in today’s society.
G Shock watches are today also made with style, rather than the purely functional watches they were first sold as. They come in numerous funky colors, including blue, red, and others. G Shock watches are also very well priced, ranging in average from fifty to one hundred dollars.
The Casio G Shock 33 white resin watchGA100A-7A is a classic example of a durable G Shock watch that sports multiple functions. A white resin strap and oversized face lend a chunky, trendy look. Large, anti-skid buttons guarantee easy operation, and embossed indexes give a 3d look. Shock resistance and magnetic resistance are included, as are multiple features, including a countdown timer, twenty-nine time zones, two hundred meter water resistance, and more.
Casio G Shock watches are today at the top of the watch industry, with a unique appeal that is second to none.
