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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice looking face, strap/chain not as expected, May 13, 2009

This review is from: Casio Women's MSG300C-7B2 Baby-G G-MS Cool and Tough Ana-Digi Watch (Watch)

A pity we had to send this back. It is a great looking watch face. The size is not as large as some Baby-G's (like the one my wife wore out previously and loves) which is a good thing. The problem we had was the chain strap. We were expecting an all-metal chain. The actual chain alternates between white-plastic and metal, not our cup of tea. I can see this now in the picture. The alternating chain material is much more apparent/contrasting on the actual item. We'll have to find another Baby G!

3.0 out of 5 stars I really wanted to like this watch!, February 18, 2009

This review is from: Casio Women's MSG300C-7B2 Baby-G G-MS Cool and Tough Ana-Digi Watch (Watch)

I thought this was going to have everything I wanted in a watch. It's stylish, functional and seems well-made. The biggest draw for me was the 5 daily alarms. Baby-G is the only line I can find that offers a good-looking women's watch with more than 3 alarms. When I received the watch, I was disappointed to see that the watchband is actually silver and white, and the face is also white, while both appear silver in the photo, unless you're looking closely. I'm afraid the white would get dirty really quickly, and I don't know if it would be easy to replace the band in the future. The band was also too big; I'm guessing I would have had to take it to a jeweler to remove the links (although, according to a review on a different color, you can do it yourself, but not easily). I might have been able to deal with that because of the cool features, but the gray on silver readout on the 3 digital subdials are impossible for me to read. I never even played with the alarms and other features, because I knew I wasn't keeping the watch, so I can't speak for its functionality. It's too bad; I thought I had found the perfect watch. It looks like the only one of the 3 colors offered in this line that is easier to read is the pink and black style. I guess the one quality that was missing for me was a little practicality. :-(

5.0 out of 5 stars Looks smaller than it really is..., September 5, 2009

The watch is exactly like the picture but in person, what stands out more, is the white part of the case. The description says the case is 40 mm wide, and it really is but the white part around the numbers, where the "baby-g" sign is, is 33mm in diameter and the other 7mm is the metal part and is almost unnoticeable. This makes the watch look smaller than it really is. Also, I'm really glad I chose the watch with the pink dial because I think the white one would have looked a little boring. This one looks really classy, feminine and tough at the same time. The band is lighter than I expected but now I know it's a good thing because I can barely feel it. I've been wearing it for some days now and I have had no problems with cleanness. Maybe because I wash and bath with it. Also, it's true that sometimes I cannot see the small digital circles inside.I have to move my wrist to find the best light to see. I don't really care because it's a beautiful fancy watch.
