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.

This review is from: Casio Women's BG5602-9DR Baby-G Square Luminous Yellow Digital Watch (Watch)

I love this watch. I've worn it three or four times a week for months. I love the home/travel time zone settings, the fact that it can be submerged in water, and daylight savings time can be turned on and off. It's unfortunate that the alarm is short and relatively quiet -- I wouldn't rely on it to wake me up in the morning -- but used during the daytime as a reminder it works fine for me.

But here's the big problem. I frequently wear very dark denim jeans, and the indigo dye from the jeans has slowly (we're talking twelve weeks here) leeched onto the watch casing. The dye has given it a sickly green cast, especially near the clasp and on the non-shiny band holder. I recently cleaned it with nail polish remover which restored most of the color, but it still looks greener than new. It's my understanding that harsh liquids like nail polish remover will slowly eat away at the band, so that will slowly degrade the watch casing in its own way.

I use the watch enough to buy a second one, but I'll be making sure that one doesn't see much contact with dark denim!

This was my birthday present to myself. Okay, I have to admit, my reason for getting it was a little bit strange and celebrity informed(It has mostly to do with an obsession with Chris Martin, who also has a yellow Gshock...you can laugh now.)However, I am thrilled with my bright new g shock! It's exceeded my expectations and adds a pop of color to my outfits.
Seriously, it's not as bright as the picture would have you to believe. I'm looking at it right now, compared to the flourecent neon depection on my laptop that almost burns my retinas. However, this watch IS very eyecatching, and while not as eyewateringly glaring as the picture online, I swear I went to the movies and could see the faint yellow glow of the watch even in the near blackness.
I LOVE my g shock! Very glad I ordered it!
