The CASIO G-Shock G8000-1V Watch is one of the latest G-Shock watches. This watch features a distinct visual appearance that is not found in any other G-Shock watch, while supporting the cornerstone features that are shared among watches in the CASIO G Shock range.
For those unfamiliar with the G-Shock legend, G-Shock are the ultimate “tough” watch that originally arose from the developers vision to create an “indestructable watch”. The original developers were guided by the “tripple 10″ concept – to create a watch that would have a 10 year battery life, that could survive a 10 meter drop and was at least 10- bar water resistant. The G-Shock redefined the common belief that watches are breakable, disposable consumer items, when it hit the market in 1983 it was virtually unbreakable, compared with its flimsy competitors.
The technology of the G-Shock features a hollow structure with the interior module “floating” to protect it from damaging shocks. The urethane bezel of the watch safeguards it from blows to the glass and buttons. Shock resistance is further ensured with the insertion of cushioning material mounted between the case and bezel. The interior module also feature additional cushioning material, specifically to protect the crystal oscillator and other essential components.
In addition to cushioning the shape of the bezel is cleverly designed to prvent contact between the buttons and flat surfaces. This serves to protect them even when falling at an angle. The band of GShock watches is constructed with scratch-resistant pieces. The band is specifically designed to be resistant to the stress of shock due to a unique structure that employs wide intervals at the connection points between the pieces of the band and so adopting a flexible, 150-degree range of movement.
In essence CASIO G-Shock watches are designed to last a lot longer than your standard generic sports watch. They can be dropped, crushed, submersed in water to considerable depths, frozen, struck and are equiped to survive severe vibrations.
The “rough and tumble” qualities of G-Shock watch range don’t end there however, the G Shock Casio Watches are designed in a wide range of fasionable styles, to suite any tastes or preferences and we have to say, the CASIO G8000-1V G Shock Digital Watch is living proof of this. While it may not be every sportsman or outdoorsman’s cup of tea, few would deny, the G8000-1V watch has a certain appeal for a great many sports watch users out there. With a “target-like” digital dial surrounded by a circular bezel, enforced by three seperate “screw” fittings, this display on the watch is clearly presented and should attract those who like a “solid high-tech” presentation in their timepieces.
At $79.95 on Amazon, this watch is as affordable as it is tough and if you’ve been hunting around in vain for a while for that outdoor watch that is “up to it”, then this CASIO Mens G8000-1V G-Shock Digital Watch might be just what you’re looking for.
