Top 5 Casio G-Shocks by Series
G Shock watches gained popularity in the 80s as a rugged alternative to the standard analog watch, which was fragile and old fashioned. They quickly became popular for those that played sports and for people that lived more active lifestyles.
The most popular G Shock Series are:
Known as the Master of G, the Rangeman is a fully digital watch that comes with a thermometer, compass and all the tools you need for the great outdoors. It’s also solar powered, which means no more changing the battery
Made for people who are not only active but spend a lot of time in the mud, the Mudman is popular among people in the army. Specifically protected against mud and other weather calamities, the Mudman comes in two versions (Solar powered and Battery powered) with a variety of colours for each.
The GA-100 series has been considered a trendsetter due to being one of the first big-case series of watches. It also introduced the 1/1000-sec stopwatch, which gives you your approximate speed after you finish your run.
Also known as the Extra-Large series, this was the evolution of the GA-100s. Keeping the same features people loved (such as the above mentioned stopwatch, and a resistance to magnetic fields), the digital display is split into the top and bottom of the display, for easier reading. This case is the basis for a lot of Casio’s updates, such as the Tribal Pattern Limited Edition watch
Rounding off the top models is the Casio Gulfmaster. The watch was made for divers as well as surfers. The watch can be used to calculate how high the tide can get, and it also introduced the “Hand Shift” feature, which allows you to move the arrows out of the way, if they get in the way of a digital display).
