Casio G-Shock watches are designed to combine fashion with usability. Casio prides itself on creating a watch that can deal with the rigours of life, and the G-Shock regularly stands up to these challenges. Although newer Casio G-Shock models are mainly kinetic or solar-powered, older models require occasional battery changes. This task requires some preparation, it is relatively simple and saves both time and money when compared to the services of a professional. With regular cleaning and battery replacement, your G-Shock will last a lifetime.
