Technology Behind the Toughness
G-Shock's legendary toughness is built upon a foundation of innovative design and material science. Key technologies include:
- Hollow Case Construction: Internal components are suspended and cushioned by points of support, protecting the module from impact.
- Urethane Protective Bumper: A specially designed urethane bezel and band absorb shocks and protect the watch face and buttons.
- Stainless Steel Inner Case: Provides a robust housing for the module, further enhancing protection.
- Shock-Absorbing Material: Advanced cushioning materials are used throughout the watch structure to dissipate impact energy.
- Button Guard Structure: Buttons are designed with a protective shroud and independent spring mechanisms to prevent direct impact and ensure operational stability.
Model Information
This database provides detailed specifications and features for a wide range of Casio G-Shock models. While specific details vary by model, the core commitment to durability and functionality remains constant across the entire G-Shock family. For instance, models like the qw3552 (as referenced in documentation) are part of this extensive collection, each offering unique functionalities tailored to different user needs and environments.
Brand Heritage
Founded in 1981, Casio Computer Co., Ltd. introduced the G-Shock in 1983 with the concept of creating a 'watch that doesn't break'. This revolutionary approach, driven by engineer Kikuo Ibe, led to the development of watches that could withstand drops from 10 meters, withstand 10 atmospheres of water pressure, and have a battery life of 10 years. This dedication to toughness has defined the G-Shock brand for decades.
