Casio watches are
known for their ability to do more technologically advanced activities
than just timekeeping. Casio’s belief is “Creativity and Contribution”
which is portrayed through their vast amount of technologically
advanced products. Casio has shown to the world that watches can be
useful for getting information as well. These watches are known for
their looks as well as their purpose. Casio has developed watches which
can capture, maintain and exhibit an assortment of data, including
images, temperature, longitude etc.
History: The Casio Company was started in 1946 by
Mr. Tadao Kashio. They were one of the first watch companies to
manufacture the now famous quartz crystal watches. The quartz watches
produced by Casio were available in both digital and analog styles. In
1974, Casio released a computerized watch, the CASIOTRON, which not
only showed the hours, minutes, and seconds, but also had a unique
function that could automatically determine the number of days in a
month and whether or not the current year was a leap year. In 1978,
Casio produced the first watch with LCD screen. In 1989, the first
digital watch with the sensors for forecasting weather trends was
produced. In 1993, a wrist watch with digital compass was released.
Casio make their products conductive to different active lifestyles and
the choices are endless when it comes to purchasing the watch that will
suit your lifestyle.
Lets look at the most famous of the Casio lineups - the G-Shocks:
Casio entered the digital time-piece market in 1974. It was a
very new market then and until then watches were the usual kind - with
hands. Casio had mastered the digital technology long back with its
calculators and other digital equipment, so the foray into the digital
watch world wasn’t too difficult for them. They took the watch
community by storm with the CASIOTRON - the first digital watch to
feature an auto-calendar i.e. without the need to adjust for day and
date each month. Since then Casio hasn’t looked back. Anyone who know
anything about watches has heard the word G-Shock. If you haven’t, then
what are you doing reading this? just kidding, its never too late to
learn anything new. The first G-Shock watch was introduced in 1983. And
the series has not looked back since. The common perception during that
time was that watches are fragile and need to be handled with care and
taken care of. The G-Shock project team’s main objective was to
challenge this perception and archive what they termed the ‘triple 10'
- a watch that will easily last for 10 years, will be 10 bar (100m)
water resistant and will be perfectly fine even after being dropped
from a height of 10 meters. Not only did the team archive these
objectives, the G-Shock series has just kept on improving since then.
Casio has many G-Shock lineups and they continue to keep on adding to
them. Newer G-Shocks come in various flavors - featuring mud, dust
resistance, atomic controlled (wave ceptor), 200m water resistance is
the norm now. Some of the series include - Mudman, Riseman, Gulfman,
Giez, Wave Ceptor, Cockpit, Tough Solar, Frogman etc.
Casio G Shock watches are unmatched when it comes to durability
and reliability. They are the favourites of many in the armed forces.
During the operating in Mogadishu, Somalia (as chronicled in ‘Black
Hawk Down’) the special forces are said to be wearing G-Shock watches.
When it comes to G-Shocks you just can’t go wrong. The casio Baby-G
series is also a part of G-shock. The Baby-G watches are equally tough,
and are mostly aimed at teens and women. They are normally smaller in
size and feature colorful designs.
