Jewellery & Watch News
Designed especially for those that like to push the limits of adventure and endurance, G-Shock watches are renowned for their highly shock resistant cases and sporty aesthetics engineered to stand the test of time. Each Casio G-Shock watch is born from a desire to create ‘a watch that never breaks’, a dream that amazingly remains fulfilled to this day with every design resisting centrifugal and impact forces and boasting a resistance to high water pressure.
The first ever G-Shock watch was released back in 1983 and was the brainchild of Casio engineer Kikuo Ibe. He was heartbroken when his pocket watch, which had been a very precious gift from his father, broke. From then on, he set about to create ‘the unbreakable watch’ based upon a triple philosophy: it should be water resistant to at least 100 metres, have a minimum battery life of 10 years and most important, survive a minimum drop of 10 metres.
The G-Shock watches that he went on to create shattered the reputation of watches as fragile pieces of jewellery and as he continued to innovative and push forward with technological advancements, the more Casio G-Shock gained a reputation for creating some of the world’s most durable timepieces. From solar powered movements, GPS functionality, Bluetooth technologies and radio control, G Shock watches are famed for their remarkable features that assist you on your adventures. G-Shock GPS watches in particular are impressive for their combination of energy-efficient high-performance GPS and radio technology.
Today we will be exploring all the latest Casio G-Shock watch collections to help you find the right one for you.
G-Shock MT-G Watches
Needing no introduction at all, the G-Shock MT G watch collection brings to life a whole new meaning to the word ‘durable’. Boasting powerful technology, premium cases and shock resistant structures, G Shock MT G watches tick all the boxes for those that need a watch made from unbreakable steel and extremely tough sapphire crystal glass. The designs of the G-Shock MT G watches are also instantly eye-catching and evoke a sense of luxury and prestige allowing them to adapt effortlessly between a formal outing and the wilderness.
G-Shock Baby-G Watches
For men and women that don’t want to negotiate on appearance while outdoors, the G-Shock Baby-G watch collection provides a charming and attractive aesthetic alongside complete durability. This impressive selection of sport watches is known as a 90’s icon, appearing on the wrists of almost every adrenaline junkie and adventurer. Their retro design has been reimagined with jelly cases and unmissable pops of colour found in the shapes of pink printed dials, blue waterproof straps, crisp white cases and rose gold accents.
G-Shock Origins Watches
Suitably named, the G-Shock Origins watch collection is based on the first G-Shock watch released in 1983. The extraordinary model changed the way watches were perceived, no longer feeling like easily breakable accessories but high powered and durable instruments for the outdoors. The G-Shock Origins watches that you see today remain just as resistant as the original with the same recognisable design alongside new technological innovations. We absolutely love the G-Shock Origins Tough Solar Mens watches and their stealthy all black cases and solar powered movements.
G-Shock Master of G Watches
Designed to adapt to every environment, whether you are up a mountain, hiking across a desert or wading through a river, the G-Shock Master of G watches are there to help push your limits. These remarkable outdoor accessories boast incredibly tough cases alongside the likes of solar powered movements, compass functionality, thermometers, tidal graphs and more. The G-Shock Master of G watch collection is home to some of the brand’s toughest designs including the G-Shock Mudmaster, Gravitymaster and Frogman. The G-Shock Mudmaster is particularly great for those not afraid to get down and dirty with a specially constructed case that prevents the intrusion of sand, mud or dust.
G-Shock G-Steel Watches
Representing a whole new meaning to the word ‘tough’, the G-Shock G-Steel watch collection boasts a striking selection of designs that come with a special layered guard structure. This technology includes a case made of fine resin and carbon fibre which allows for both a lightweight and rigid finish while protecting the internal module from shock induced damage and deformation. Some of the G-Shock G-Steel watches are also equipped with innovative straps that combine different materials for outstanding strength and water resistance. The core of the strap is often made of resin while the outer surface is engineered using CORDURA fabric famously known for being stronger than nylon.
G-Shock Mr-G Watches
A range of premium outdoor watches, the G-Shock Mr-G watch collection is handcrafted by individual artisans allowing each timepiece to be unique and bespoke to its wearer. While providing an entrance model to luxury watch design, G-Shock Mr-G watches also combine the exquisite design with extreme toughness. They have become must-have watches for those willing to tackle the toughest environments since their original release 20 years ago while providing technically advanced functionality like GPS hybrid technology, solar powered movements and dual dial displays.
G-Shock Classic Watches
Last but not least is the G-Shock Classic watch collection, a fine selection of outdoor watches with the price conscious in mind. Merging the retro case design with the latest colour trends, these remarkable timepieces bring fashion and functionality together for an unmissable finish on the wrist. Each G-Shock Classic watch continues to display the brand’s three principles: a water resistant case to 100 metres, a minimum battery life of 10 years and a durable case that can survive a 10 metre drop.
