Now these magnificent watches enjoy popularity worldwide.  They are renowned for their lasting ruggedness whilst still retaining a high quality look and design. The name G-shock is a combination of G for gravity and Shock, representing the amazing shockproof qualities which these timepieces have.  Over two hundred prototypes were dropped from buildings to test their durability.  Later, American TV commercials produced a truly powerful image when Ice hockey players were shown splatting the G-Shock around the hockey rink in place of a puck!  Doubting that this could be true, an American news program conducted a test using the same situation a seen in the Television advert.  The producers found out first hand for themselves that these tough watches would not break, even under such extreme pressure!

Whilst retaining their original character, G-Shock watches have evolved from their original late 20th century designs to become a modern day classic, combining their essential qualities with the ongoing technology of today which has produced a wide range of brilliant features like data recording and scheduling, temperature and barometer functions amongst many others.
