G-Shocks For Sale

In 1974 Casio, the company formally known for making calculators, set it's sites on manufacturing wristwatches. Instead of making conventional mechanical watches, they decided to go digital.

These new wristwatches utilized digital liquid crystal technology to display the precise time down to the second - - not to mention minute, hour, day, and month. In fact, they created the first watch in the world with a digital automatic calendar function, which made the need to reset the calendar due to the variation in month length obsolete.

With the desire to make the world's toughest watch, Casio created a piece of ground breaking technology in 1983. Getting it's name from it's shock-resistant design, the G-Shock shattered the notion that a watch is a fragile piece of jewelry that needs to be handled with care. It could withstand strong impacts as well as vigorous shaking and remain unaffected.

The G-Shock became wildly popular in the early 1990's due to it's unique look and practicality. This popularity resulted in an explosion in sales as well as numerous variations to the original model. Always employing the latest technology, Casio added new sensors, solar-powered radio control, and new materials for even better durability.

Recently, it has become the essential accessory to anyone who is a collector of popular urban fashion. The unique wristwatch comes in an assortment of different colors and styles, including top sellers like the G-Lide, Mudman series and baby G-Shock for women. Some big names in music have even gone so far as to get their Casio's encrusted with diamonds to showcase their own unique style.

The one thing that can't be denied is that Casio's once unconventional design was an ingenious investment. The G-Shock's style and functionality has carried it a long way in the fashion and tech fields and it looks like it's here to stay.
