In the era of the near-unobtainable MoonSwatch and years-long Rolex wait lists, it's easy to forget that watches are meant to be fun. Unless, of course, you're already the proud owner of a Casio G-Shock. Then you've known that all along.
Originally created by Japanese designer Kazuo Ibe in 1981 with the goal of creating the toughest watch the world had ever seen, the G-Shock's ambition has expanded well beyond its original mantra of withstanding a 10-meter drop and 10-bar of underwater pressure, and running for 10 years without needing a new battery. There are now over 200 models in the range with many proving to be just as iconic as many a timepiece ten times their price. For a poppy look that's more than stubborn enough to withstand the great outdoors (or a boozy holiday) there's simply no better. Hell, put on one of these deceptively light indestructible charmers, and you might even get inspired to get out and explore a mountain or two.
If you’re used to an Apple Watch-esque pebble sitting on your wrist, a G-Shock will feel big, but deceptively light. These 50mm+ bruisers have oodles of charm, cementing their enduring appeal. From resin-tough digital retro to samurai-inspired metal, we’ve found the coolest wrist-warriors available today. Immerse yourself in the manga-cool world of Casio, and find your new summer fave while you’re at it.
