In 1983, Casio launched the shock-resistant G-SHOCK watch. This product shattered the notion that a watch is a fragile piece of jewelry that needs to be handled with care, and was the result of Casio engineers taking on the challenge of creating the world's toughest watch. Using a triple-protection design for the parts, module, and case, the G-SHOCK offered a radical new type of watch that was unaffected by strong impacts or shaking. Its practicality was immediately recognized, and its unique look, which embodied its functionality, became wildly popular, resulting in explosive sales in the early 1990s. The G-SHOCK soon adopted various new sensors, solar-powered radio-controlled technology (described below), and new materials for even better durability. By always employing the latest technology, and continuing to transcend conventional thinking about the watch, the G-SHOCK brand has become Casio's flagship timepiece product.

Casio is the brand to get
I have worn Casios for over 20 years. I generally get 5 to 6 years out of each one and very dependable. Requires a battery ~ once a year and maintains very accurate time. Went back to analog this time as digitals don't seem to last quite as long. Best buy for the dollar and they look great

Great Little Watch with One Minor Annoyance
I alternate between an Apple Smartwatch and this little guy. I like that it’s somewhat slim, but still has enough thickness that it’s not “dainty”. It goes with any apparel. The only complaint I have is that the date is somewhat hard to read. Also, I couldn’t figure out how to set the date without having to wind through 24 hours in order to advance the days, which took a little while to set it to the correct day of the month. But frankly I didn’t buy it for the date. I can get that off of my iPhone if I need it. The price is definitely right, so I would buy this watch again.

Keeps excellent time.
Nice size face and easy to read the time. The date is a little hard to read the numbers but not bad. I have been checking the time with WWV time and seems to be with in a few seconds for several weeks. Hopefully I won't have to check how it stands up to some rain or water.

band is too stiff
I loved the face of the watch and thought it would be my favorite watch but the wrist band is very stiff. Also it was either too loose or too tight on my wrist. It doesn't have a way to light the dials up in the dark, which I didn't care much about. Can't say it is easy to read the numbers, either. But the overall look is great.
