how to spot a fake casio g shock watch

Casio is a multinational company founded in 1946 in Japan, which manufactures electronic devices, and gained international notoriety for producing high-quality computers, cameras, audio equipment, PDAs, musical instruments and watches. The Casio G-Shocks model we are going to present you here is designed to provide impeccable shock and water resistance along with Casio's large area of sophisticated functionalities and high-technology which distinguished this brand throughout the years. In matters of watch-design, Casio outstands for embedding the well known Japanese high-performance technology in digital inte***ce-display or, as in the case of Casio G-Shock GS1200, in analogue appearance.Compared with other G-Shock watches, this timepiece retains the notorious Casio functionality but also adds brand new features (29 times zones (27 cities), daily alarm, World Time, 1/20 second chronograph, 200 m water resistance, shock absorbing system etc.). The case and bezel of Casio G-Shock GS1200 are made of an interesting combination of stainless steel and black rubber which confers the timepiece a masculine sporty stile, its dark hue dial is fitted with plaid pattern, also a large date display window highlighted by red accents is located at 3 o'clock position. As another design touch�� we can mention the stainless steel Neo-bright luminous hands and markers, which also feature contrasting red detailing. Asides from the attractive sporty looks and variety of functions, the watch is equipped with a very appealing solar power system capable of providing 6 months of power reserve, and radio-set compatible for 6 regions- among those are USA, London, Japan, Germany and China. The radio-set adjustments are made through control buttons positioned on the bezel.No doubt an attractive timepiece, with its large variety of functions, Casio G-Shock GS1200 is a fascinating piece of high-tech equipment which tends to become more than a *** time-telling object and comes for a fairly accessible price of $400.00.

TweetEmailIt looks like Casio just repackaged the Oceanus 5 Motor's insides in a dark and bold G-Shock GIEZ case. Currently only available to the Japanese (and to resourceful and fanatical foreign watch geeks), the Casio G-Shock GIEZ 1000BJ appears to be identical to the Oceanus 5 Motor that I just reviewed, but with a much tougher, "special ops" look to it.Rather than titanium, the case is stainless steel with some sort of black, abrasion-resistant coating, and in place of the titanium bracelet is a pretty standard G-Shock rubber strap. The sapphire crystal of the Oceanus 5 Motor has also been replaced with whatever type of scratch-resistant plastic or acrylic that is used in G-Shocks. I'm not going to bother listing this watch's features since the Oceanus 5 Motor review covers them in detail (including a video), but I will say that aesthetically, this reinterpretation of the Oceanus really creates an entirely new watch.In fact, there might even be some advantage in owning both since your titanium, around-the-office, out-for-drinks timepiece could work identically to your weekend, change-the-oil, help-a-friend-move "beater". I think there could be a marketing opportunity here.The Casio G-Shock GIEZ 1000BJ goes for about $227.Update: Read the Casio Giez 1000BJ review.
