Casio's Solar G Shock is a tough and practical line of watches that have long been favorites of uniformed personnel for their versatility and durability. Like most Casio watches, this watch has collateral under pressure. Although there is yet to be the perfect watch to endure under pressure, most of the watches nowadays have water resistance which is not powerful enough to handle heavy loads of water pressure. The Invicta watches, for example, have pressure resistant of over 50 ATM which makes it the perfect watch for that situation.

They are ideal for the tactical kinds of situations commonly encountered by military and police forces. Casio solar G shock wristwatches also make excellent companions on an outdoor adventure, with both shock and water resistance to ensure reliable operations no matter the field conditions involved. It's no wonder that they are so popular, what with a corporate legacy of many important industry firsts under the Casio brand. But companies usually do not worry about their product being a failure on a certain angle, since it is us consumers that give the opportunity for the watch companies to fix the problem especially for the rest of the products they manufacture.

The solar G shock collection bears a proud lineage, going way back to the first-ever Casio watch that was made, in 1974, the Casiotron, among the first digital watches in the world at a time when the industry had just begun to incorporate digital technology into its designs. From humble beginnings as a successful manufacturer of cigarette lighter rings (yes, worn on a finger - this is Japan after all, the land of gizmos and gadgets galore), the company is now an established leader in consumer electronics worldwide. Case in point, the Solar G Shock line itself, representing "Timekeeping 3.0" with a full complement of handy instruments on board, such as alitmeters and barometers to help discern oncoming weather, and atomic timekeeping for unmatched precision. Many models even run on solar energy for anytime-reliability and good old-fashioned peace of mind. G Shocks have become so popular that a "Baby G" line is targeting the youth market in particular with stylish colors and smaller more compact form factors that don't compromise on the line's core principles of durability and utility.

In fact, the solar G Shock was originally envisioned as a watch that would never break, epitomizing the "Triple 10" philosophy of 10-bar water resistance, 10-meter freefall endurance, and a 10-year battery life at a time when it was believed that wristwatches were fashion accessories and that Japanese makes were especially cheap and nothing but throwaway novelties. With its G Shocks, Casio has redefined the wristwatch and created a new niche almost on its own, the tough and tactical wristwatch for action-oriented applications.

Thus the rich feature set previously mentioned so favored by uniformed personnel, many models offering abilities far beyond that commonly expected of a chronograph. When in the market for timepieces that are inexpensive but with a tough solid build.
