Casio, a company with cutting-edge electronic technology developed for pocket calculators, entered the wristwatch market in November 1974, a time when the industry had just discovered digital technology. Confident in its ability to develop timepieces that would lead the market, Casio has focused its efforts on solar-powered radio-controlled watches in recent years. The built-in solar battery eliminates the need for battery replacement, and atomic timekeeping ensures users never have to reset the time. Casio has also launched a series of Bluetooth watches that automatically sync to the user's cell phone to update the time, continuously moving time forward.
G-Shock, the ultimate tough watch, 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. At a time when watches were commonly believed to be breakable items, G-Shock's development represented a challenge to common sense. The number of experimental prototypes built for endurance testing reached over 200, and the structural development and parts improvement took approximately two years. After a long, hard process of trial and error, G-Shock was finally launched.
The shock-resistant structure of G-Shock overturned conventional thinking about watches, realized through breakthrough thinking, including the ideas of a hollow-structured case, all-directional protective covering, and the use of cushioning material to protect critical parts.

In summary, Casio's journey in the wristwatch market has been marked by innovative and durable timepieces, with the G-Shock line standing out as a testament to the company's commitment to pushing the boundaries of what a watch can withstand. From solar-powered radio-controlled watches to Bluetooth-enabled models, Casio continues to redefine the industry and provide users with timepieces that are both reliable and forward-thinking.
