Discover how the Casio G-Shock 6900 became an icon over the last 25 years
Casio watches, Casio G-Shock watches, and Casio Baby-G watches are all members of the same family, just with different personalities. Whereas Casio launched in the 1940s, the first G-Shock watch didn’t emerge onto the scene until the 1980s. G-Shock is all about providing tough, durable and shock-resistant watches for men. When the concept was well received, it launched the Baby-G collection as a female version of the G-Shock in the 1990s with similar water and shock resistance, among other features.
Casio watches have model numbers rather than clear-cut names. These are usually a collection of letters and numbers. They can be hard to decipher unless you’re a die-hard Casio fan or collector. Let's say you’re prepared to research each character in the model number. In that case, we’re told they have meanings, like colour, water resistance and whether a piece is analogue or digital. Our advice? Read the watch specifications and leave the code-breaking to the people at Casio HQ in Tokyo!
Casio isn’t luxury in the traditional sense. Its Japanese quartz watches are affordable, starting around £30 and rising to £1,000 plus for some of the most functional and sophisticated G-Shock models. However, don’t let that put you off. Casio is a heritage icon of Japanese watchmaking. It played a significant role in the quartz revolution of the 1970s and 1980s, and it’s been holding its own on the international stage ever since. Here at WatchPilot, we think every watch collection should have at least one Casio.
That’s like asking how long is a piece of string. It depends on the model you purchase and how often you use its features, like the calculator, light or stopwatch. Generally, somewhere in the three-to-six-year window is what you can expect, but some sources suggest closer to 10 years. Replacement batteries are available, though, so don’t let any concern about quartz battery life slow you down. Just wear your watch as you normally would.
