#Casio prototype series#

Thereby a series of resurrections and enhancements went on being added to the G-shock watches. This G-shock was a waterproof watch having the capability to bear the 200 meters of underwaters depth. During this year a first-ever Frogman diving model was introduced. The 1990's also witnessed a great evolvement in the Casio G Shock series. Furthermore, the GW-9200 version debuted in the year 2008 was capable of receiving time- calibration radio signals from six stations located worldwide. It bore a radio-controlled and solar-powered technologies. Another model Casio GW-300 debuted in the year 2002 offered a power-packed performance. Newer models have been appending to the Casio G-Shock catalogue featuring improved performance and functions.

Assuredly, they came up with a hollow watch case structure that backed all core competencies required. And at last, they were finally paid off for their hard work.

It carried out rigorous dropping tests for 200 prototypes continuously for two years. To come with the following watch prototype Casio's team of engineers invested the number of sleepless days and nights. These three criteria were: the ability to withstand 10-meter drop, 10 atmospheres of water pressure, and should have the battery lifespan of approximate 10 years. The design of this Casio watch was based on the concept of the triple ten, which encapsulated the three main criteria under its head.
