The shock-resistant design of the Casio Men's G-Shock Atomic Solar White Watch makes it a one-of-a-kind timepiece. This tough watch is constructed with a durable resin case, a stationary stainless steel bezel, and a white resin wristband with an adjustable buckle clasp for a personalized fit. A durable mineral window shields the digital-gray dial face, which features the time display, as well as the day, date, and month.

The Casio Story
With the launch of its first watch in November 1974, Casio entered the wristwatch market at a time when the watch industry had just discovered digital technology. As a company with cutting-edge electronic technology developed for pocket calculators, Casio entered this field confident that it could develop timepieces that would lead the market.
In developing its own wristwatches Casio began with the basic question, ""What is a wristwatch?"" Rather than simply making a digital version of the conventional mechanical watch, we thought that the ideal wristwatch should be something that shows all facets of time in a consistent way. Based on this, Casio was able to create a watch that displayed the precise time including the second, minute, hour, day, and month — not to mention a.m. or p.m., and the day of the week. It was the first watch in the world with a digital automatic calendar function that eliminated the need to reset the calendar due the variation in month length. Rather than using a conventional watch face and hands, a digital liquid crystal display was adopted to better show all the information. This culminated in the 1974 launch of the CASIOTRON, the world’s first digital watch with automatic calendar. The CASIOTRON won acclaim as a groundbreaking product that represented a complete departure from the conventional wristwatch.
Casio transformed the concept of the watch — from a mere timepiece to an information device for the wrist — and undertook product planning based on this innovative idea. We developed not only time functions such as global time zone watches, but also other radical new functions using Casio’s own digital technology, including calculator and dictionary functions, as well as a phonebook feature based on memory technology, and even a thermometer function using a built-in sensor. The memory-function watches became our DATA BANK product series, while the sensor watches developed into two unique Casio product lines of today: the Pathfinder series displaying altitude, atmospheric pressure, and compass readings.
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.
Today, Casio is focusing its efforts on solar-powered radio-controlled watches: the built-in solar battery eliminates the nuisance of replacing batteries, and the radio-controlled function means users never have to reset the time. In particular, the radio-controlled function represents a revolution in time-keeping technology similar to the impact created when mechanical watches gave way to quartz technology. Through the further development of high radio-wave sensitivity, miniaturization, and improved energy efficiency, Casio continues to produce a whole range of radio-controlled models.

Customer Reviews

An ex-boyfriend of mine bought me this watch as a present after I got hired to work in EMS. At the time, I was thinking "nice watch, a little on the pricey side-but hey! It's free."
To be honest working in the EMS field, you are jumping on and off of fire engines, ladder trucks and in and out of ambulances as well as maneuvering your way through tight spots to be able to treat your patients. This watch has been worth every cent he spent on it two years ago. It still works to this day despite all of the chaotic situations I have put it through. I cannot imagine a better watch for people on the go and in environments like EMS.
This watch has been through the washer AND dryer on more than one occasion. The most incredible part of this whole thing, is that it still works. And I don't have to worry about having to replace the battery because the sun charges it.
One might say that this watch is low maintenance and self-sufficient! A must have for those in EMS and any field that requires a reliable timepiece!

I bought this watch for work and it has worked out great. I work in a factory and needed a tough watch and this surely fits the bill. I am a female but I could not find a tough enough womens watch for work. My husband liked it so much I bought him the black one. The only thing I don't like is that the band is too long for me but I knew that would be the case when I purchased a mans watch. It picks up the atomic signal with no problems and has a ton of features I will probably never use. It's not as big as some of the other mens watches and that works out good for me. It has already recieved some pretty hard knocks and it has not effected it at all. It also gets wet on a regular basis and handles that fine also. When I am off work I lay it in the window and it stays on the high charge indicator. I love the feel of the material the band is made of, very comfortable. I liked the atomic solar feature so good that I purchased a Casio solar atomic ladies watch for when I'm not at work.
