The Ultimate Guide to All G-SHOCKs — composed by Experts

Shock-resistant watches cannot be disliked by men from the military sphere: they can be used anywhere and anytime. Even the technical characteristics contribute to this – some models have received the MIL-STD-910 standard. This is a military standard that confirms the strength and durability of a particular product. Confirmations are based on the results of many tests, which, you guessed it, G-Shock and managed to overcome. As for camouflage models, this is not always MIL-STD-910 compatibility, however, this does not mean that such G-Shocks are not shockproof. All “shocks” are waterproof and durable, and the image is imprisoned for camouflage.
