Casio Tough Movement For G-Shock Uses Internal LEDs to Sync Time

These watch guts from Casio can receive radio synchronization signals from six transmitters around the world every hour at the 55-minute mark—if the individual holes in the gear sprockets don't line up in precisely the exact position as measured by a 16Hz blinking LED and a phototransistor, the watch adjusts accordingly. The first Tough Movement watch, the G-Shock GS-1200, will be available in Japan for $388. [Tech ON via Oh Gizmo]

Latest by MinceyFresh: My first G-Shock was this asymmetric "G-Lide" watch from around 1998-1999, which still works and fits fine to this day (and its design still looks somewhat decent, too)! The only thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't have more »

Casio Celebrates 25 Years of G-Shock With Four New Models

Casio just unveiled four new G-Shock models at their 25th anniversary event tonight in NYC. Kanye West is here, but the watches are definitely taking front and center.

The one above is the MT-G, or Metal Twisted G-Shock, the top of the line from this collection. It has a urethane and metal composite case and retails for $400.

Casio Updates Baby-G With Colors, Tilt-to-Zoom Display

Just the other day Casio came up with some colorful retrotastic G-shocks, and now the Baby-G is getting a color treatment, with a neat zooming display. The BG-2000/2001 series come in white, yellow and orange with shiny wrist bands and complimentary colored LCDs that you can customize in five styles. There's also that auto-zoom function that enlarges the digits when you tilt your wrist to read the time. They're shock-resistant, 100m water resistant, with world time and five independent alarms and have auto EL backlighting (LED for the yellow version). No word on pricing yet.

New Casio G-Shocks Love Solar, Color, World Peace, Etc

Continuing our obsession with recapturing the worst of the '80s in wristwatch form, these new Casio G-Shocks are more than a little fantastic. Aside from their classic G-Shock form, a solar panel under the face constantly recharges the watch so it's ready to automatically illuminate whenever you check the time. More »

Casio's G-Shock Even More Shock-Proof

Lovin' the look of the Casio G-Shock MR-G, and it doesn't hurt that this rendition is even more shock- and scratch-resistant than its predecessors. Featuring a radio-controlled chronograph and solar dial, the case and the band are made of titanium. And the the glass is pure sapphire—making it fairly indestructible. The watch is also waterproof and features a stopwatch, analog/digital time display, automatic power save mode and 24 month run-time on a single charge in power save mode. They go on sale in February of next year and are running in a limited edition of 1,000. Price is about $1,300. More »
