Casio G-shock is the unofficial choice of Special Ops and Special Forces around the world.

Traditionally military watches have been developed over the years by certain key brands specifically for military use. As with all Military wrist watches, Special Ops watches are required to meet a certain specification if they are to be used by military personnel. Some brands of military wrist watches are produced only for official military issue with their own NATO stock number, proving their military pedigree but one watch, that on the face of it does not look like other military wristwatches is Casio G-Shock, and in fact that it did not have the traditional analogue face of a military watch,

G Shock is very different from that of a lot of military wristwatches, since it was not initially developed as a watch for military use. G-shock began with an engineer’s brief calling for a development for an “ unbreakable watch”
Casio responded by organizing Project Tough in 1981. The team produce over 200 experimental prototypes for performance tests, spending about 2 years on structural development and parts enhancement. Finally in 1983 the original shock-resistance structure was completed.
Originally the G-Shock watches were targeted at young people looking for a watch for sports and outdoor adventure oriented activity, and a trendy fashion watch. The G-Shocks are ideal for this outdoor extreme sports lifestyle, as, most of them have some kind of stopwatch feature, countdown timer, are light and water resistance, world time, alarms. This meant that they are an affordable but tough watch that could survive the knocks and bashes dished out during extreme sports. More recently they have done more designer and fashion styles, collaborating with famous designers, whilst at the same time increasing the resilience of some of their ranges. Over time the G-Shock has proven its toughness and ruggedness, developing more and more tough watches suitable for used by Special Ops and Special forces around the world.

G shock watches are now recognized as one of the toughest watch in the world with good features and great style.
