The Speciality of Casio G-Shock

Since many people don't know the speciality of this watch, i would like to share you more things about Casio G-Shock, the toughness watch on earth for me. I dedicated this post to all watch enthusiast whom freaks with this digital watch. Please take a note that this is just my two cent about G-Shock which is came from my point of view.  

Gshock was first introduced to public on April 1983 which is designed by an engineer Kikuo Ibe with the first model was DW-5000C-1A. Since it launched that time, it has broken many people opinion that watch was one of jewelry that has to be handled carefully. (picture taken from http://shock-resist.com and http://mygshock.com)

Here are three specialities of G-Shock from my point of view:

1.    The strength of G-Shock

Buying G-Shock for me fells buying a watch for a life time. Seriously, even you don’t have to worry when you missed it, this not an expensive watch absolutely even though you will find a few models cost expensively. What is the strength of G-Shock….? You will find a lot of information about G-Shock strength on internet but I will try to summarize them here.

·         Deep water test, every G-Shock watches designed to reach 200m. It could be choice for you who like diving also

·         Piston test and hammer test for the impact test. People said that this video was only for marketing reference. I tried my watch crushed with a 20 ton truck and the watch still find till now.

·         Drop test, this is the most test I often do than others. I sometime throw my G-Shock to the sky when I feel bored to make sure that the watch still strong J 

2.    The Feature of G-Shock

I will share you the feature of G-Shock DW-5600E, in my research probably this is the cheapest G-Shock on store, cmiiw. You can acquire it around 55 usd. The feature as follows:

·         Time display in 12-hour or 24-hour format.

·         Auto-calendar correctly calculates month lengths, leap years and days-of-the-week between 1985 and 2039 (module 1545). Updated calendar in the module 3229 has years between 2000 and 2099.

·         One alarm. An unusual feature is that in addition to the hour and minute, a month and/or date may optionally be set, so the alarm will only sound during the specified month or on the specified day of the month.

·         Time signal (hourly chime.)

·         Countdown timer: Can be set for any duration from one second up to 24 hours, in one-second increments; optional auto-repeat function. The current home time is also displayed in countdown timer mode.

·         Stopwatch: 1/100th second, which measures net time, split time, and first- and second-place times; rolls over at 24 hours.

·         Illumination: Backlight is via Illuminator, an electroluminescent backlight, where a blue/green luminescence makes the whole display visible at any light conditions.

·         Shock-resistant design, intended to survive a 10-meter fall. The new composite-case and steel panel back made the watch about 30% lighter, and better fitted to the wrist.

·         Water resistant 200m.

·         Battery: One lithium button cell, CR2016 (module 1545). Was expected to last two years or more with 3.5 seconds backlight operation and 20 seconds alarm per day.

 Conclusion from this point: You don't have to spend more money to get tough watch with helpful feature for your daily activity.
