For todays young generation style and functionality are essential ingredients needed in a watch. When a watch becomes a part of your fashion style it has to look great on your wrist but lacking functionality any such device would be disposable. One established watch maker whose tradition for technological advances in wristwatches also combines the style needed for the current market is Casio.

Casio wristwatches were first produced in 1974 with the release of Casiotron. This groundbreaking digital watch not only showed the hours, minutes, and seconds, but also had the first built in digital calendar which could determine whether a year was a leap year. The stage was set for Casio to become a world leading digital watch producer. Prior to these releases the company was mainly known for leading the way with digital calculators, this was another area they excelled in.

Over the next ten years Casio moved the company into the production of musical instruments with electronic keyboards. In 1980 they famously released the Casiotone which paved the way for a wave of similar instruments which revolutionized budget musical instruments.

Currently Casio wristwatches come in all shapes, sizes and colors. In particular their range named G-Shock reflects the historic values of the company whilst harnessing the elements needed for the modern watch market. First released in the eighties this line of wristwatches has now moved forward into the new millennium and is one of the most popular in retail outlets around the globe.

Models such as the Casio G-Shock G 100 show how wristwatches can be packed with functionality, like dual time and water resistance, yet still look amazing on the wearers wrist. Then there is also the G-Shock G 1000, a fantastic chronograph watch which is sturdy, robust but yet highly affordable. Casio wristwatches really do offer the wearer something many others cannot, style without compromise on detail and durability.
