One of the flagships of the previous generation G-Shock Gravitymaster, designed for airplane pilots. The body is designed to withstand all kinds of loads that can be encountered in the air – centrifugal force, vibration and shock. Fully analog display with add. windows and small hands embodies the aviatorial spirit of the watch. The first jishokas with GPS time synchronization – adjustments are made using GPS satellites. Radio sync can be used as a fallback. Tough Movement technology automatically adjusts the position of the hands in case of “knocking” and the smart crown Smart Access allows intuitive and quick setting of all functions of the watch. The solar battery removes all questions about its replacement – recharging comes from daylight. Basic features are also present – world clock, stopwatch, timer and auto-calendar.

G-SHOCK GRAVITYMASTER Evolution Timeline
The most distinctive specs of GPW-1000 *Editorial
— 200-meter water resistance (good for swimming but not for deep diving)
— TRIPLE G RESIST (Shock resistant, Centrifugal force resistant, Vibration resistant)
— GPS Signal Reception (Acquires positioning and time information from GPS satellites)
— ISO 764 class magnetic resistant (A magnetic-resistant plate is mounted on the module. The plate prevents magnetic fields from interfering with proper movement of the hands in daily use)
— Tough Solar (CASIO’s original solar-charging system converts not only sunlight but also light from fluorescent lamps and other sources into power)
— Radio-controlled Watch; Multi band 6 (additional way for time sync. This watch receives time calibration radio signals that keep the displayed time accurate)
— Smart Access (the system for analogue movements achieves multi-functionality and easy operability simultaneously through a combination of multiple motors and an electronic crown)
— Tough Movement (A CASIO-original thin analog movement made possible by hybrid mounting protects against damage and enables auto home position correction that helps keep you on time all the time)

Official Marketing Focus from Casio
From the G-SHOCK GRAVITYMASTER, introducing the GPW-1000 — the world’s first1 watch with CASIO-original GPS HYBRID WAVE CEPTOR2 technology built in. GPS HYBRID WAVE CEPTOR combines Multiband 6 capability to receive any one of six time calibration signals around the globe with a receiver that acquires position and time information from GPS satellites. When GPS information is acquired the watch determines your current time zone and judges whether or not your location requires the use of summer time, and updates watch settings accordingly. The combination of these two capabilities creates a hybrid timepiece designed and engineered to ensure that you are on time all the time, no matter where you happen to be.
