This analog-digital timepiece merges G-Shock's legendary shock resistance with contemporary design aesthetics, creating a watch that commands attention both in urban environments and outdoor pursuits.

Care Guide
- Daily Wear: Avoid exposing your G-Shock to extreme temperature changes, solvents, chemicals, or strong magnetic fields which may affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Water Resistance: While rated to 200 metres, avoid operating the pushers or crown while the watch is submerged or wet, as this may compromise water resistance.
- Cleaning: Clean the translucent resin case and strap regularly with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water. For stubborn dirt, use mild soap and rinse thoroughly with fresh water, then dry completely.
- Strap Maintenance: The translucent resin strap may show discolouration over time with exposure to UV light, lotions, or chemicals. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when not wearing the watch.
- Impact Resistance: Although shock-resistant, avoid dropping the watch onto hard surfaces or subjecting it to extreme impacts beyond normal wear conditions.
- Storage: When not in use, store your G-Shock in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid storage in humid environments or near mothballs and other chemicals.
- Battery Replacement: When the digital display dims or the watch shows the battery indicator, have the battery replaced promptly by an authorised service centre to prevent potential leakage damage.
- Button Care: Keep pushers and case crevices free from sand, dirt, and debris which may impair function. Never force buttons if resistance is felt.
- Professional Service: We recommend a professional check-up every 2-3 years to ensure water resistance seals remain effective and all functions operate correctly.
- Avoid: Do not expose the watch to solvents, petrol, cosmetic sprays, detergents, adhesives, or paints as these may damage the resin components and finish.
