Development of the Timepiece Business
With the launch of its first watch in November 1974, Casio entered the wristwatch market at a time when the watch industry had just discovered digital technology. As a company with cutting-edge electronic technology developed for pocket calculators, Casio entered this field confident that it could develop timepieces that would lead the market.

In developing its own wristwatches Casio began with the basic question, "What is a wristwatch?" Rather than simply making a digital version of the conventional mechanical watch, we thought that the ideal wristwatch should be something that shows all facets of time in a consistent way. Based on this, Casio was able to create a watch that displayed the precise time including the second, minute, hour, day, and month — not to mention a.m. or p.m., and the day of the week. It was the first watch in the world with a digital automatic calendar function that eliminated the need to reset the calendar due the variation in month length. Rather than using a conventional watch face and hands, a digital liquid crystal display was adopted to better show all the information. This culminated in the 1974 launch of the CASIOTRON, the world’s first digital watch with automatic calendar. The CASIOTRON won acclaim as a groundbreaking product that represented a complete departure from the conventional wristwatch.

Casio transformed the concept of the watch — from a mere timepiece to an information device for the wrist — and undertook product planning based on this innovative idea. We developed not only time functions such as global time zone watches, but also other radical new functions using Casio’s own digital technology, including calculator and dictionary functions, as well as a phonebook feature based on memory technology, and even a thermometer function using a built-in sensor. The memory-function watches became our DATA BANK product series, while the sensor watches developed into two unique Casio product lines of today: the Pathfinder series displaying altitude, atmospheric pressure, and compass readings.

In 1983, Casio launched the shock-resistant G-SHOCK watch. This product shattered the notion that a watch is a fragile piece of jewelry that needs to be handled with care, and was the result of Casio engineers taking on the challenge of creating the world’s toughest watch. Using a triple-protection design for the parts, module, and case, the G-SHOCK offered a radical new type of watch that was unaffected by strong impacts or shaking. Its practicality was immediately recognized, and its unique look, which embodied its functionality, became wildly popular, resulting in explosive sales in the early 1990s. The G-SHOCK soon adopted various new sensors, solar-powered radio-controlled technology (described below), and new materials for even better durability. By always employing the latest technology, and continuing to transcend conventional thinking about the watch, the G-SHOCK brand has become Casio’s flagship timepiece product.

Today, Casio is focusing its efforts on solar-powered radio-controlled watches: the built-in solar battery eliminates the nuisance of replacing batteries, and the radio-controlled function means users never have to reset the time. In particular, the radio-controlled function represents a revolution in time-keeping technology similar to the impact created when mechanical watches gave way to quartz technology. Through the further development of high radio-wave sensitivity, miniaturization, and improved energy efficiency, Casio continues to produce a whole range of radio-controlled models.

Customer Reviews

Great watch for the money
I actually saw this watch at Costco, but decided to research it a little more on line before buying it. I was able to get it on Amazon for about 8 dolls. cheaper than Costco; about 46 dolls. cheaper than retail.
At $62 dolls. this is a really good watch. I really love the independent stop watch feature that it has, as well as how the minutes and hours are also counted.
The price of this watch is determined by the depth that you can use it. This watch is statically tested at 100m or 10 bars. I thought that it was perfect, because I never dive deeper than 100 ft., but I found out through research after the buy, that 100m in real life translates to being able to use it in a pool only.
But, for the money, the styling and the features, this watch isn't going to be beat on the market. The resin band is also much more comfortable than something like a G-shock.
I wear it everyday and I love it so far.

From the perspective of someone who doesn't wear watches..
This watch is tight. I got it from my grandpa for Christmas. At first I was kind of disapointed because I never wear watches. But as soon as I put it on, I became a watch wearing kind of guy.

yeah, this is a classy watch. Looks good no matter what you wear. It even looks good if your wearing nothing at all. AND it starts your car from a distance!



haha alright that parts not true.. but if it were, than itd just be another reason on the long list of reasons as to why this watch should be on YOUR wrist.


get it.


seriously.



its the best $60-$70-$80 (depending on shipping) that you'll be spending in a long time.

I was able to convince people that this was a $250 watch.

Very Happy
I have had this for a few months now. GREAT Watch. I think it looks great and have gotten a number of complements on it. You can wear this with anything from formal dress to sports attire. It's one of those all occasion watches that matches everything seamlessly. I found this watch for $55 on sale at a local retailer - unbelievable value for the money.

The glow in the dark dials are visible for 60+ minutes after being charged.

I think this watch looks better in person than in the pages. I saw it in the display case and when I put it on, it looked great - had to buy it. Buying online sucks because you really don't know how it's going to look/feel on your wrist. If you wear black or gray clothes, it matches so well that people will think you bought the watch to go with the outfit.

Band is good - holds the watch in place without having it too tight.
