Today's review is Casio's latest in their Frogman line of G-Shock dive watches. These are the first in that line to have atomic timekeeping and solar power.

One thing you can always count on is for Casio to introduce new and interesting features and products in the G-Shock line.

Manual versus radio-set. Accuracy 30 seconds per month versus 15. The rest of the specifications are equivalent: LED backlight. Wor..

Casio has announced it is bringing the popular G-Shock Mini line to the USA. These are popular G-Shock styles designed to find a home with women buyers. They are available in a wide selection of "feminine" colors and sizes that span three models which are probably very familiar if you know the current G-Shock line. Shigenori Itoh, the vice president of Casio watches, was quoted in the press release saying, "We are thrilled to offer fashionable water and shock resistant watches for chic activ..
