Casio knows a thing or two about durable watches, and has just introduced its newest G-Shock model. The Casio G-Shock Twisted MT-G Watch features the same resistance to shock, vibration, and gravity you expect from the G-Shock brand, yet with a bit more style. It ditches the plastic appearance that is often associated with their timepieces and opts instead for three chic models: polished stainless steel and resin, ion-plated stainless steel and resin, and a black ion-plated version with gold highlights and a red-paneled bracelet.
All three versions will be available in December.
If you watch lots of movies where SCUBA divers converse just as if they’re walking on the beach, you probably think that the technology is readily available for divers. There are some communication devices, but they can be costly and clunky. Yamagata Casio has developed the Logosease radio, a transceiver that allows users to have spoken conversations underwater.
Plenty of watches claim to be water resistant and shock proof, but the Casio G-Shock Mudman G9300-1 looks like it could be ready for the end of civilization, and promises to be the last watch ticking. It is water resistant, shock resistant and can endure mud. Lots of mud!
The Casio PRG550-1 doesn’t have that “living on the edge” sort of name, but this sport watch might not need a snappy name. While it isn’t a GPS or heart rate monitor, it tells times and a lot more including providing a compass, altimeter, barometer and thermometer. The second hand on the watch doubles as a compass, while being able to show changes in atmospheric pressure.
