Mail Order G-Shock
In Australia, G-SHOCK watches seem to blend into our nation’s lifestyle -- whether it’s enjoying a surf or hike through rugged off-terrain areas, running a marathon or kickstarting the work week. They are the go-to for anyone with an adventurous spirit who loves to tackle any challenge life throws their way.
Originally introduced more than 30 years ago, G-SHOCK has become an icon of strength and independence. It was developed as a watch that could resist shock and centrifugal forces, with a battery that would last 10 years, and withstand the pressure of water.
The first models were released in 1983, with the trademark Triple 10 concept being a guarantee of durability, reliability and multi-functionality. The G-SHOCK range has continued to evolve, but its basic design remains a testament to innovation and power.
Why do people buy G-SHOCK watches? There are a number of reasons. One is utility, with a need for a tough and reliable watch that won’t break under pressure and will perform reliably in a variety of conditions. Others may require advanced functions such as altimeter-barometer, compass and thermometer. Other buyers simply want to add a touch of fashion and style, and G-SHOCK has expanded its audience through collaborations with popular streetwear brands.
New G-SHOCK models are announced on a ｇショック通販 monthly basis in Japan, with limited edition and collaboration models being released at different times of the year. These are often unique color variations of existing models, but Casio also releases completely new G-SHOCK watches throughout the year that have a more sophisticated and advanced technology.
G-SHOCK watches are not only durable and reliable but also look great on the wrist. Their rectangular or square-shaped cases and digital dials are reminiscent of the brand’s original 1981 models, while some designs have more of an alternative style. There are even models with traditional hands, a combination of digital and analog features, or more complex functionality such as solar charging, world time and multi-band 6 GPS satellite tracking.
The G-SHOCK range is widely used by military personnel, with some units having a dedicated line of watches, including the DW-5600 series for Navy SEALs and special forces. The watches are also commonly available for purchase at PX stores on military bases and are very popular with police officers, fire fighters and emergency rescue services.
