During a visit to a playground, Ibe discovered that in a rubber ball, the centre of the ball doesn't suffer the effects of the shock during a bounce on a rough surface which gave him the idea to implement that concept into the watch. The team had assembled and tested nearly 200 prototypes but were still not able to achieve the conception criteria.
The G-Shock was conceived as a watch which would have "triple 10" resistance, meaning it would have a battery life of 10 years, have a water resistance of 10 bar and could survive a fall of 10 metres.Ī team of three individuals was selected by Ibe which was known as "team tough". The G-Shock was conceptualised in 1981 by Casio engineer Kikuo Ibe when he accidentally dropped and broke a pocket watch given to him by his father. 5.2.1 X-Treme Snow Board/Skateboard Editions.
