Casio G-Shock Watch

The Casio G-Shock brand is a legendary line of watches known for their durability and shock resistance. Created by Kikuo Ibe, an engineer at Casio, the first G-Shock was launched in 1983 after years of testing prototypes to withstand gravity and impact. The brand has since evolved into a global fashion and utility icon, featuring ana-digi movements, solar power, and water resistance.

While the brand originated in Japan, manufacturing for modern G-Shock watches is spread across several locations. Today, high-end models are typically assembled at Casio's flagship factory in Yamagata, Japan, while many standard models are produced in Casio's own facilities in Thailand and China to maintain global demand. Ownership remains entirely with Casio Computer Co., Ltd., which continues to lead the industry in quartz and digital timekeeping technology.
