Stepping up in the same dial colour
A large-cased analogue-digital G-Shock built from bio-based carbon and resin, measuring 49.3 mm wide and 15.2 mm deep. The black dial pairs phosphorescent hands and indices with an LCD window; the hand-shift feature moves the analogue hands clear of the display whenever digital data needs to be read. A front-mounted button activates the high-brightness double LED backlight. Tough Solar charging powers the movement, with Bluetooth linking to the Casio app for automatic time correction and access to world time across around 300 cities. The step tracker logs up to 999,999 steps and issues inactivity reminders. Water resistance is rated to 200 metres. The bio-based resin strap fastens with a pin buckle.

Learn more about Casio
Tadao Kashio founded Kashio Seisakujo in Tokyo in 1946 as a machine shop. The company's first success was a finger ring that held a cigarette, and its second was the 14-A of 1957 — the world's first all-electric compact calculator, which used solenoids rather than gears.
Casio entered watchmaking in 1974 with the Casiotron, a digital watch with an automatic calendar that knew the varying lengths of months. The company approached watches as an electronics manufacturer rather than a horological one, and that difference produced the G-Shock.
The G-Shock came from a single engineer, Kikuo Ibe, who broke a watch his father had given him and set out to build one that could not break. The specification was three tens: survive a ten-metre drop, ten bars of water pressure, and ten years of battery life. It took over two hundred prototypes, and the solution was suspending the module inside the case on a cushioned internal structure rather than mounting it rigidly. The DW-5000C shipped in 1983.
It became one of the most durable product designs in any category, adopted by militaries, emergency services, and skateboarders alike, and Casio has since added solar charging, radio and GPS timekeeping, Bluetooth, and full-metal and carbon variants.
Casio also produces the Edifice, Pro Trek, and Oceanus lines, and remains an independent Japanese public company.

It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
No. It charges from light, and the cell behind that is designed to last a decade or more.
