!±8± Casio G-SHOCK - The Toughest Collection of Men's Sports Watches on the Planet

Looking at Men's Sports Watches and can't find one that can stand up to the demands of the harsh outdoor life?

If you like the outdoors and adventure lifestyle and need robust equipment that can handle your rough and tumble life, the Casio G-SHOCK watch might be a worthy purchase. The concept of the G-SHOCK watch is tried and tested, the first model was released back in 1983 with three fundamental design principals in mind:

The G-SHOCK would be able to withstand a 10 meter fall It would be water resistant to 10-bar of water pressure It would have enough power to keep functioning for 10 years without a battery replacement

The G-SHOCK was born and soon earned the label as the toughest sports watch in the world. Since it's launch, this and it's fundamental design has not changed much in over 25 years.

The G-SHOCK can take a few knocks and can be compressed, dropped, frozen, submersed in water, struck with a hammer and not be any, the worse for wear. This makes the G-SHOCK the perfect foil for the outdoors man who can't wait to find his next adventure!

In recent times, the Casio engineers have added new technology to G-SHOCK watches, including solar power recharging of the battery. Now the G-SHOCK lasts even longer and chances are, you will never need to replace the battery in the lifetime of the watch. Solar power capabilities have also given rise to a number of new energy hungry functions in the watch, making the Casio G-Shock more feature-rich than ever before.

Another Casio technology addition is radio-control self-adjustments, meaning the Casio G-SHOCK watches receive signals from Fort Collins Colorado and automatically calibrate themselves to American Standard Time. The auto-calibration service is available in most of Europe as well as Japan and China.

The outdoors features of the watch include a thermometer and barometer, plus a Tide/Moon graph display built in. Sports features include a stopwatch and countdown timer, and standard watch features are EL backlight or LED light, 12/24 hour formats, World Time and Auto-Calendar.

Casio's "tough" watch comes in a wide variety of designs and these men's sports watches feature many color schemes in both modern and retro styles. In terms of looks, you will be spoiled for choice and can rest assured you will be hard pressed NOT to find a Casio G-SHOCK sports watch that will suit your tastes and requirements.
