About G-SHOCK
The G-SHOCK lineup by CASIO is the epitome of toughness, envisioned by developer Mr. Ibe with the dream of crafting a watch that withstands all. Over 200 prototypes were meticulously developed and destroyed until, in 1983, the first G-SHOCK made its debut, solidifying its reputation as the toughest watch globally. Each G-SHOCK incorporates seven key elements to ensure robustness, including electric shock resistance, gravity resistance, low-temperature resilience, vibration resistance, water resistance, shock absorption, and unparalleled durability. Since its inception, G-SHOCK continues to evolve while embodying Mr. Ibe's motto: "never, never give up."
