TECHNOLOGY
CONCEPT & BIRTH
G-Shock is the ultimate tough watch. It was born from a developer's dream of "creating a watch that never breaks." Guided by a "Triple 10" development concept, the design teams sought a watch with 10-meter free-fall endurance, 10-bar water resistance and a 10-year battery life.
DESIGN & STRUCTURE
Case design offering protection against free-fall shocks. A prominent bezel configuration was adopted to prevent the buttons and glass from contacting flat surfaces, thus protecting them from shocks when falling at any angle. This design concept stressing protection from shocks is basic to every G-Shock case design.
SOLAR POWERED
Non-Stop A solar panel converts even weak illumination from fluorescent lighting into electric power. A rechargeable battery with a large power storage capacity supports stable operation of various functions with high electricity consumption. You never have to worry about the battery running down because it's a solar battery.
Solar Powered Casio watches with solar technology, receive thermal and electrical energy that recharges the watch batteries through solar panels on the face of the watch.
ATOMIC TIMEKEEPING
Self Adjusting Receives time calibration signals and corrects the time automatically. Casio watches with Wave Ceptor technology receive radio waves carrying American Standard Time data transmitted from Fort Collins, Colorado. It then corrects the time automatically for one of four U.S. cities you pre-select depending on your time zone and displays the time wherever you go from coast to coast!
TOUGH MOVEMENT
Tough Solar, Multiband 6, Auto Hand Home Position Correction and Hybrid Mount Construction. These four technologies combine in a radio-controlled, solar-powered analogue movement that elevates the reliability of solar-powered, radio-controlled analog watches to new heights.
SENSOR TECHNOLOGY
Three miniature sensors for measuring direction, barometric pressure/altitude, and temperature: These compromise G-SHOCKS's core technologies for high-precision detection of sudden changes in natural phenomena.
GPS
Prompt display of the correct time worldwide.
Reception of current location positioning and time data from GPS satellites. Time zone determination through automatic analysis of positioning information Determination of the current location’s Daylight Saving Time status and automatic display of the correct time.
