With the launch of its first watch in November 1974, Casio entered the wristwatch market at a time when the watch industry had just discovered digital technology
As a company with cutting-edge electronic technology developed for pocket calculators, Casio entered this field confident that it could develop timepieces that would lead the market
In developing its own wristwatches Casio began with the basic question, What is a wristwatch? Rather than simply making a digital version of the conventional mechanical watch, we thought that the ideal wristwatch should be something that shows all facets of time in a consistent way
Based on this, Casio was able to create a watch that displayed the precise time including the second, minute, hour, day, and month – not to mention a.m. or p.m., and the day of the week
It was the first watch in the world with a digital automatic calendar function that eliminated the need to reset the calendar due the variation in month length
Rather than using a conventional watch face and hands, a digital liquid crystal display was adopted to better show all the information
This culminated in the 1974 launch of the CASIOTRON, the worlds first digital watch with automatic calendar
The CASIOTRON won acclaim as a groundbreaking product that represented a complete departure from the conventional wristwatch
Casio transformed the concept of the watch – from a mere timepiece to an information device for the wrist – and undertook product planning based on this innovative idea
We developed not only time functions such as global time zone watches, but also other radical new functions using Casios own digital technology, including calculator and dictionary functions, as well as a phonebook feature based on memory technology, and even a thermometer function using a built-in sensor
The memory-function watches became our DATA BANK product series, while the sensor watches developed into two unique Casio product lines of today: the Pathfinder series displaying altitude, atmospheric pressure, and compass readings
In 1983, Casio launched the shock-resistant G-SHOCK watch
This product shattered the notion that a watch is a fragile piece of jewelry that needs to be handled with care, and was the result of Casio engineers taking on the challenge of creating the worlds toughest watch
Using a triple-protection design for the parts, module, and case, the G-SHOCK offered a radical new type of watch that was unaffected by strong impacts or shaking
Its practicality was immediately recognized, and its unique look, which embodied its functionality, became wildly popular, resulting in explosive sales in the early 1990s
. The G-SHOCK soon adopted various new sensors, solar-powered radio-controlled technology (described below), and new materials for even better durability
By always employing the latest technology, and continuing to transcend conventional thinking about the watch, the G-SHOCK brand has become Casios flagship timepiece product .Today, Casio is focusing its efforts on solar-powered radio-controlled watches: the built-in solar battery eliminates the nuisance of replacing batteries, and the radio-controlled function means users never have to reset the time. In particular, the radio-controlled function represents a revolution in time-keeping technology similar to the impact created when mechanical watches gave way to quartz technology
Through the further development of high radio-wave sensitivity, miniaturization, and improved energy efficiency, Casio continues to produce a whole range of radio-controlled models
