The Casio Story

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Casio Green, September 16, 2011

My watch arrived yesterday and I love it. I'm a small woman, my wrist is only 5 1/2 " but this is my third Casio Men's watch. It's big but it fits and the color makes it look a little more feminine. I wear it with a silver bracelet just to add to the watches sparkle. It's a little flatter than my big G-Shock, which is nice. The only drawbacks are my other two are atomic and this isn't and reading the date almost requires a jewelers loop. With all the space on the watch face you'd think they could have made the day and date a little bigger. Instead they made the count down numbers at the bottom big, who needs that in day to day life. But I did buy it for the color so a few flaws to over look. My last purchase was for the white "Triple Crown" G-Shock. Sad day when I discovered the white was simply painted on a gray plastic. I had to cut the band on the Eco-Green a little shorter and happy to see the color goes all the way through and it's not green paint. Ladies, don't be afraid of buying these watch's. So many more features available from Casio for men and very few for the women's line. Come on Casio, catch up, women like all the bells and whistles too.

I have been using my new watch for about 3 weeks now and the amount of features is awesome! The only downside to buying online is that you don't really get an idea of the dimensions of the product. In my case, this green monster was not as bulky as my previous Pathfinder (which I hoped it would be), but apart from that, awesome watch with an amazing amount of features in such a compact design. Really nice "green" statement all around :-)

2.0 out of 5 stars Does NOT have Moon phase or tide graph as advertised, August 20, 2010

I just can't believe that Amazon or Casio would do this.... Advertise something that the watch does not have. One of the main reasons I ordered this watch was because it says very clear that it has moon phases and tide graph. I'm very disappointed, now I have to start the process of returning it from another country.
