Casio G-Shock MTG-1000 with analog face

Next to the plastic pocket protector, there is probably no better-known artifact of the nerd than the Casio G-Shock watch. But the chunky digital watch, created in 1983, has become a fashion item on the wrists of those who aren’t necessarily technologically inclined.



To celebrate the brand’s longevity, Casio has created a number of multifunction watches, some with analog faces. They include the solar-powered, water-resistant MTG-1000, a stopwatch that tells time in 27 cities and features what Casio calls “multiband atomic timekeeping.” It is available from Casio at http://www.gshock.com.

Casio continues to engineer watches the way it has for a quarter-century, adding features and rarely removing any. One thing remains constant, though: programming the $400 watch by pushing its four buttons in a precise order is the true test of whether you are smart enough to wear it. For those who give up, leave the radio-controlled watch on a windowsill anywhere in the United States (or in Japan and most of Western Europe), and the next morning it will tell the correct time.
