Complete Overview of Casio G-SHOCK: Features, Models, News, and Market Comparisons
Casio released the first G-SHOCK, the DW-5000C, in 1983 after Kikuo Ibe’s team developed the “Triple 10” durability standard. The 1984 “Hockey Puck” ad boosted the DW-5200’s reputation. G-SHOCK added analog displays in 1989, solar power in 1998, and radio-sync in 2000. The brand marked its 40th anniversary in 2023 with special editions and a heart-rate sensor model.
