Designed with surfers and water sport enthusiasts in mind, the latest line of G-SHOCK G-LIDE watches is comprised of the GLX5600 (C-1 / C-2) and the GWX8900 (C-3 / D-2).

Accompanied by a countdown timer, 1/100 sec. stopwatch, World Time of 29 time zones (48 international cities) and operating in a 12 or 24 hr format, the slim case options of the G-LIDE series provides for the most accurate time-telling details.
All functions of the GLX5600 are complemented by the highly coveted Tide & Moon graphs and Moon Age data chart that anchors the face of the timepiece, allowing for the most precise tide and surf swell recordings. The auto EL backlight on the GLX5600 models provides easy reading of the digital time-telling graphics.

Both options are sure to provide undeniable style to the world's top surfers and action sport enthusiasts that are at home in the waves.

In addition, the GWX8900 models operate by utilizing tough solar power, feature Multi-Band 6 Atomic Timekeeping, and dual countdown interval timers, both are desired functions that make for perfect wave synchronization. 4 daily alarms with 1 snooze, full auto super illuminator LED backlighting, and preset and user set sites makes the GWX8900 models an excellent addition to the G-LIDE summer series; available in fluorescent green (GWX8900C-3) and royal blue (GWX8900D-2).

About G-SHOCK
CASIO's shock-resistant G-SHOCK watch is synonymous with toughness, born from the developer Mr. Ibe's dream of 'creating a watch that never breaks'. Over 200 handmade samples were created and tested to destruction until finally in 1983 the first, now iconic G-SHOCK hit the streets of Japan and began to establish itself as 'the toughest watch of all time'. Each watch encompasses the 7 elements; electric shock resistance, gravity resistance, low temperature resistance, vibration resistance, water resistance, shock resistance and toughness. The watch is packed with Casio innovations and technologies to prevent it from suffering direct shock; this includes internal components protected with urethane and suspended timekeeping modules inside the watch structure. Since its launch, G-SHOCK has continued to evolve, continuing to support on Mr. Ibe's mantra "never, never give up". This 2013, G-SHOCK is celebrating their 30th anniversary.
