A tried and unfeigned style outstanding for casual wear, the Casio Classic black digital watch for men will aid to assure you won’t miss another appointment again. It offers a each day alarm and every hour time signal (which may be turned off), as well as an auto-calendar function (pre-programmed until the year 2039). Additionally, it includes a stopwatch that may time events down to 1/100 of a second, and features a 60-minute capacity, split time, and 1st-2nd place times. The black resin case is matched to a gently tapered, nicely comfortable black resin strap. Other features include a ±30-second accuracy per month, micro light for low-light conditions, scratch-resistant solid homogeneous inorgani substance crystal, and water resistance to 50 meters (165 feet)–suitable for swimming but not for diving.
The Casio StoryWith the launch of it is primary watch in November 1974, Casio entered the wristwatch market at a time when the watch industry had just encountered digital technology. As a company with cutting-edge electronic technology formulated for pocket calculators, Casio entered this field convinced that it could fabricate timepieces that would lead the market.
In formulating it is own wristwatches Casio begun with the basic question, “”What is a wristwatch?”" Rather than merely making a digital version of the established mechanical watch, we thought that the idealisti wristwatch ought to be something that shows all facets of time in a consistent way. Based on this, Casio was capable 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 firstborn watch in the world with a digital automatic calendar function that eradicated the need to reset the calendar due the variation in month length. Rather than using a established 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 world’s basi digital watch with automatic calendar. The CASIOTRON won acclaim as a groundbreaking product that represented a finish departure from the traditionalisti wristwatch.
Casio transformed the conception of the watch — from a mere timepiece to an selective information device for the wrist — and undertook product planning based on this progressed idea. We formulated not only time functions such as global time zone watches, but also other radical new functions using Casio’s 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 formulated into two distinguishable 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 world’s 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 without delay recognized, and it is distinguishable look, which embodied it is functionality, became wildly popular, resulting in explosive sales in the early 1990s. The G-SHOCK soon adopted respective 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 established thinking with regards to the watch, the G-SHOCK brand has become Casio’s flagship timepiece product.
Today, Casio is focusing it is attempts on solar-powered radio-controlled watches: the built-in solar battery does away with the aggravation 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 affect invented when mechanical watches gave way to quartz technology. Through the further development of high radio-wave sensitivity, miniaturization, and bettered energy efficiency, Casio proceeds to manufacture a whole range of radio-controlled models.
Great for my non-terrorist timekeeping activities!
