The Top 10 G Shock Watches Available Today

casio-g-shock

Casio G-Shock Watches need no introduction. When Casio launched its first watch back in 1974, digital technology was still new in the watch industry. Inspired to create something that represents all facets of time consistently, Casio managed to produce a timepiece that showed the accurate time including the month, day, hour, minute, and second. The watch became the first in the world to feature a digital automatic calendar, which ultimately saw the elimination of the need for the physical calendar.

Almost ten years later, Casio introduced the shock resistant G-shock timepiece – a project that came as a challenge to create the toughest watch in the world. The G-shock employed a triple protection design for the case, module, and components, and its practicality was instantly acknowledged. Its popularity was further accentuated by its unique appearance, which exemplified its functionality. Thanks to the brand’s policy of incorporating the latest technology, G-Shock has grown to become the flagship timepiece product of Casio.

Here are the top ten G-Shock watches available today.
