THE TOUGHEST WATCH OF ALL TIME.
— Kikuo Ibe (CASIO engineer)

Born from a dream of "creating a watch that never breaks." In 1983, CASIO engineer Kikuo Ibe won the battle against the laws of nature. He designed a watch that would resist centrifugal and impact forces, as well as high water pressure. Since then, the name G-SHOCK has become a byword for independence and pushing the limits.

We love everything about G-Shocks, the quality, the various styles and designs and also importantly the affordability. With almost indestructible build quality, G-Shocks are perfect for any situation. Since 2017, G-Shock have held the Guinness world record for the toughest watch in the world, putting it to the test under the weight of a 24.97-ton truck.

Chances are, you have seen a G-Shock on one of your favourite movie stars. Dwayne Johnson in Empire State (2013) wearing a Casio 9052 G-Shock, Bradley Cooper in American Sniper (2014) wearing a DW6600 or Chris Hemsworth unleashing hell on the Rangeman GW-9400 (Master of G series) in the film Extraction (2020). The list is endless but we can almost guarantee that you’ve seen one!

If all of this wasn’t enough to persuade you, G-Shock is the watch brand of choice for military personnel. You can see proof for yourself across the whole of the internet, or the fact that the British Ministry of Defence; Royal Navy, British Army and Royal Air Force have chosen to collaborate with Casio on a special range of extremely tough watches.
