G-Shock is a line of shock-resistant watches made by the Japanese electronics company Casio. G-Shock watches are designed to be as durable and accurate as possible. Nearly all G-Shock watches are chronographs featuring an analog or digital display, or a combination of the two. G-Shock was initially conceptualized by Casio engineer Kikuo Ibe when he dropped and broke a pocket watch given to him by his father. The G-Shock was conceived as a watch that had “triple 10” resistance, meaning it has 10 years of battery life, a water resistance of 10 bar, and could survive a fall of 10 meters. They were eventually able to make a watch that was capable of this “triple 10” resistance. G-Shock watches now include atomic clock synchronization and tough solar technology. Casio also makes collaboration models of G-Shock watches with popular fashion designers such as A Bathing Ape and Stüssy. G-Shock watches are popular among soldiers, astronauts, firefighters, and other applications where durability and accuracy are paramount. DELTA Operators in the US Army wore G-Shock watches during the Battle of Mogadishu in 1993 and since then G-Shock watches have become extremely popular among Special Forces in American and other NATO nation units due to their proven battle use. Some G-Shock models are qualified by NASA for space travel. Some G-Shock watches come with Multi-Band 6 technology, which uses radio signals to synchronize the watch with various atomic clocks around the world to keep extremely accurate time. G-Shock earned a Guinness world record for the heaviest vehicle to drive over a watch; Guinness officials drove a 24.97-tonne truck over a Casio G-Shock DW5600E-1 making it the first watch to ever withstand such a challenge.
