History of the Casio Watch

Release of The G

April 2002: Release of "The G," the ultimate G-SHOCK watch

The G-SHOCK was born out of the idea of challenging the notion that a wristwatch has to be a fragile item. While inheriting superior shock resistance and a design that conveys toughness, the ultimate G-SHOCK, "The G," features a "Tough Solar" power system that eliminates the need to replace batteries. "The G" has made it possible to keep accurate time almost indefinitely due to its radio-controlled system, which receives standard time radio signals to maintain time accuracy. "The G" introduces "never break, never stop, never wrong" timekeeping. The ultimate performance of this series has received great acclaim since its release.
