This “Blue Phoenix” limited edition, with its rainbow ion-plated metal case and bracelet, is G-Shock’s answer to Rolex’s rainbow Daytona. G-SHOCK was born in 1983 after two years of concentrated R&D by Kikuo Ibe and a team of engineers. Over 35 years and 100 million watches later, it’s clear that this quirky and tough timepiece has had an extraordinary impact on the watch world. And today, owning a G-SHOCK is considered an essential part of the watch collecting experience.
GA710B-1A4 The iconic front button GA710 is available in an all new black and rose gold colorway. GA2000-3A The three models of the GA-2000 lineup were designed with a utilitarian flair. GA140GB-1A1 These new models are the latest additions to the G-SHOCK GA-140 Series of digital-analog combination timepieces.
The G-Shock was conceptualised in 1981 by Casio engineer Kikuo Ibe when he accidentally dropped and broke a pocket watch given to him by his father. The G-Shock was conceived as a watch which would have “triple 10” resistance, meaning it would have a battery life of 10 years, have a water resistance of 10 bar and could survive a fall of 10 metres. G2310R-1 $ 99.00 This new model is an update of the G2310 G-Shock model that has long been a favorite.
In order to promote the G-Shock worldwide, the American division of Casio released a commercial in which an ice hockey player used the DW-5000C as a hockey puck to demonstrate the toughness of the watch. The commercial gained negative publicity and Casio was accused of false advertising. A TV news channel then set out to g shock protection conduct live tests on the DW-5000C to check whether it was as tough and durable as advertised. The DW-5000C survived the impact of the hockey stick, and the G-Shock gained popularity among the general public. By 1998, Casio had released more than 200 different G-Shock models, with worldwide sales at 19 million units.
The one I bought from eBay came defective/ruined due to water damage, and I assume it was due to that, but the seller was responsible enough to issue a credit and now I have an extra watch laying around here. If so, getting your very own Casio G-Shock will surely provide you the best experience whenever you are outside. Equipped with state-of-the-art sensors, a lasting battery, and a tough exterior, you can never go wrong with a G-Shock watch. And lastly, the GM-110SG-9A costs $240 USD which is the most expensive one in the group due to its hybrid display. It is a bit more expensive than the aforementioned Baby G model due to its elegant design paired with G-Shock’s signature sturdiness.
