GWFA1000-1A2 Watch

Story

The iconic, crazy-durable G-Shock with a multi-function, solar powered watch face

One thing mattered to Kikuo Ibe when he designed Casio’s G-Shock back in 1983: toughness. Everything we love about the iconic watch—the blocky shape, the encapsulating bezel, the serious water resistance—were all in service of that single goal. And sure, G-Shocks still hold their place at the pinnacle of horological durability, but they’re also stylish as hell. Unfussy, and utilitarian, it’s a watch that can handle anything you put it up against. The GWFA1000-1A2 is built for diving with moon phase and tide information available at the touch of button and water resistance up to 200 meters below the surface.
