At 55.1 mm tall, 52.5 mm wide and 16.7 mm thick, this G-Shock sits large on the wrist. The black resin case is built around Casio's hollow core shock-resistant structure, with a knurled bezel combining stainless steel and resin. Beneath a mineral crystal, the dial runs a hybrid layout: analogue hands sit above three negative LCD subdials, and a hand-shift mechanism clears the hands aside when the digital windows need reading. The Super Illuminator LED backlight activates automatically on wrist tilt. Tough Solar charging powers Calibre 5444, which synchronises via Multi-Band 6 radio signals across Europe, the US, Japan, and China. Functions include world time across 48 cities and 31 time zones, a 1/100-second stopwatch to 60 minutes, a 100-minute countdown timer, five daily alarms, and a power reserve indicator. Water resistance is rated to 200 metres. The watch weighs 72 grams.

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.
