G-Shock is a brand of watches manufactured by Casio, known for its resistance to shocks (e.g. hard knocks and strong vibrations). They were, and continue to be, designed primarily for sports and outdoor adventure oriented activity; for example, practically all G-Shocks have some kind of casio stopwatch feature, countdown timer, light and water resistance. Recent models have become more luxury and design oriented.
The first G-Shock was the GW-M850-1ER- designed by an engineer working for Casio named Kikuo Ibe. It was released in April of 1983. For the next few years Casio released a handful of new models each year. The popularity of G-Shocks increased rapidly throughout the 1990's. There seemed to be a peak in demand in 1998 when over 220 new models were released in that year alone. Casio has collaborated with many designers, musicians and other pop culture luminaries to release hundreds of limited edition G-Shocks with custom designs.
This long tradition of unique casio watches has helped build an avid following among collectors world-wide over the years.
