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.

New G-Shock Gulfman

New model from its famous G-Shock line – Gulfman GW9100-1. Featuring water, shock and rust resistance, the Gulfman is the perfect fusion between function and fashion.

The titanium case and screw pins penetrate the band joints completely, making the timepiece rust and corrosion resistant. Special titanium alloy button shafts offer a higher level of shock resistance to previous models. The deep waved band releases stress from the tight fit that can occur with a wet wrist, which provides superior comfort and durability in wet conditions.

“The Gulfman is the perfect watch for anyone who plays or works in a wet or humid environment,” said Dave Johnson, Senior General Manager of Casio’s Timepiece Division.

The Gulfman GW9100-1 includes multi-band atomic timekeeping, allowing it to calibrate to the correct time by receiving time signals from atomic clocks in the U.S., U.K., Germany and Japan. By synchronizing with the atomic clocks, the Gulfman G-Shock watches achieve unparalleled long-term accuracy (the same accuracy as the atomic clocks that drive the time signals).

In addition, the Gulfman is equipped with solar power, 200 meter water resistant, world time features (offering 29 times zones, city codes, daylight savings settings), five daily alarms, 1/10-second countdown timer, 1/100-second stopwatch and an auto calendar.

The Gulfman GW9100-1 is available nationwide and online for $220. For more information please visit www.gshock.com.

Newest G-Shock addition – Mudman GW9000A-1

Today was announced Casio's newest G-Shock addition – Mudman GW9000A-1. The Mudman is a series of Casio G-Shock watches that feature both shock resistance and a sealed case to prevent foreign particles, such as oil, dust or mud from entering or ruining the watch.

The Mudman’s sealed controls and oversized case are combined with technological advances like multi-band atomic timekeeping. The Mudman automatically calibrates to the correct time by receiving time signals from atomic clocks in the U.S., U.K., Germany and Japan. By synchronizing with the atomic clocks, this Mudman G-Shock watch achieves unparalleled long-term accuracy (the same accuracy as the atomic clocks that drive the time signals).

“The Mudman series of G-Shock watches can endure the toughest and dirtiest environments, locking out grime and protecting the watch functions,” said Dave Johnson, Senior General Manager of Casio’s Timepiece Division. “This rugged design is the perfect companion for men who seek a stylish yet practical timepiece.”
