G-Shock watches replica watches

The G Shock watch series still retains these basic characteristics, in particular the resistance to mechanical shocks and vibrations.

This product line has managed over the years to carve out space and attract those looking for a multifunction watch, adaptable to the most extreme situations, with state-of-the-art technology. Becoming an almost independent brand.  At the same time, it represents a great challenge for Casio: guaranteeing high resistance to shocks and vibrations while using a metal case and bracelet. The Casio G-Shock catalog is so extensive that a Casio G-Shock watch has prices ranging from a few hundred euros up to several thousand euros. We have reviewed several models of the brand and list them below.

Casio G-Shock MRG-G2000HT-1A

At Baselworld 2017, Casio presented a new limited edition of the MR-G series, the high-end of the G-Shock series.

The Casio G-Shock MRGG2000HT-1A, spectacular and worthy successor to MRG-G1000HT presented in 2016, aims to combine the brand’s advanced technological research with traditional metalworking techniques, rooted in Japanese culture, in a single product.

At a first aesthetic evaluation, the watch, with its 54.7mm x 49.8mm x 16.9mm, is simply imposing, to the point of seeming excessive. In addition, the angular appearance of the case and bracelet do not help to make the whole sweeter and more harmonious; however the perfect ergonomic study and the low weight (153g) in relation to the size, thanks to the titanium construction, make it absolutely wearable. However, it is undoubtedly not for the thinnest wrists. icopywatches.com

In order to fully understand the value of this watch, it is right to underline that it is produced in Japan in the Casio pilot plant where, in an environment of high technological development, the mechanisms are made in absolutely dust-free environments and with tolerances of the order. of a few microns, while the satin finishing and the installation of the sapphire crystal are still done manually by specialized workers.

Of absolute interest, because performed entirely by hand by the Japanese master Bihon Asano of Kyoto, is the particular “hammering” present on the central part of the bracelet and on the bezel, the latter treated with DLC with a particular shade of blue.

Among the pure technical features we list the sophisticated Bluetooth system, the “Self-Charging” (the ability to automatically charge the watch through the light emitted by any light source using a solar panel placed under the sapphire crystal) and the useful “Self Up-dating” function, which updates date and time in real time through the simultaneous use of the Internet (smartphone via Bluetooth), GPS (integrated sensor) and connection via radio to the nearest atomic clock (integrated sensor).

To ensure that the time zone system is as up-to-date and accurate as possible, the Casio G-Shock MRGG2000HT-1A makes use of “Self-Adjusting”, always via connection to the network. Of course, this prestigious edition of the G-Shock also boasts all the features that characterized its predecessors.

To conclude, this impressive and sophisticated proposal from Casio is the synthesis of years of technological innovation of the G-Shock series and of the best secular Japanese tradition.
