Here you will learn more about the con-

cept and development of the strongest

watches In the world. Thanks to innovative GPS Hybrid technology, a combination of energy-efficient high-performance GPS and radio technology (Multiband 6), time tuning is performed by two powerful systems that complement each other and therefore display accurate time virtually anywhere In the world: G-SHOCK, if available automatically receives the radio signal of the respective regions, and therefore shows the correct time with atomic accuracy In Europe, North America and Japan, as well as In remote parts of Canada, Central America and China. if these signals are not available, the watch adjusts the time with GPS signals - also fully automatically. Of course, the time can also be set manually using both systems.

All G-SHOCK radio-controlled watches have a tiny antenna that provides accurate time recording by receiving a radio signal. The advantages of radio-controlled clocks are obvious: once set to the appropriate time zone, G-SHOCK clocks always show the exact local time. They receive radio signals almost all over Europe, and In the case of many models also In North America, parts of Canada and Mexico, as well as Japan and China. In Europe, the transition from summer to winter is also completely automatic.

Integrated solar technology puts the finishing touch to the robust G-SHOCK watches: As an independent and environmentally friendly feature, TOUGH SOLAR® models are equipped with an inconspicuous solar cell on the face that stores energy from sunlight, ensuring the watch’s power supply. “Surplus” energy is stored In a rechargeable battery which, if necessary, can be released again when the watch is situated In the dark, making the classic battery change a thing of the past. The battery is charged automatically and does not require manual activation. if the watch is In the dark for a longer amount of time It goes into energy-saving mode independently. This means that It has a darkness reserve of up to 24 months.

The innovative Smart Access system offers quick and intuitive access to all important functions via an electronic crown. By rotating and pressing the crown, It is simple and straightforward to set functions such as the alarm or timer. The Smart Access system is protected by a crown switch locking feature, preventing the watch from switching unintentionally to another mode.
