Casio G-Shock GravityMaster
The new Casio G-SHOCK GravityMaster is an authoritative and capable watch that is incredibly accurate which is indispensable for any aviation mission, it has a GPS hybrid radio electric solar which is a time adjustment system that combines Bluetooth ® communication functions, radio control signals and Satellite GPS. The watch also features TRIPLE G RESIST which comprises of three tests; vibration resistance, earth tolerance and impact resistance
FEATURES
Built-in Bluetooth ®, GPS hybrid and radio electric solar
For the first time in the world* Casio has adopted three time acquisition systems which added the standard radio wave and GPS satellite radio wave, time server connection via smartphone. (Pretty incredible if you ask us)
3 WAY TIME SYNC
With three time correction systems you can keep accurate time no matter where you are in the world. The three signals relay between each other to show a standard time signal, the GPS satellite wave, the time correction system by Bluetooth ® and displays the time reflecting the latest time zone and daylight saving time information all over the world. By installing Tough Solar, we realised a solar drive was the perfect charging element and power reserve tool for a watch with such a high power usage.
1. Standard radio reception (multiband 6)
Receives standard radio waves from Japan (2 stations), USA, UK, Germany, China, and then the time is automatically corrected.
2. GPS satellite radio reception
This acquires your position and time information from GPS satellites. It then automatically analyses the current time zone, daylight saving time, and displays the correct time. We also corresponded to the quasi-zenith satellite “MICHIBIKI” in Japan, raising the reception efficiency even further.
3. Bluetooth®
The watch can automatically connect to a smartphone 4 times a day and correct the time accordingly.When crossing the time zone, display local time with one push

TECHNOLOGY /DESIGN
Adopted a new anti-vibration structure
TRIPLE G RESIST
New anti-vibration structure
Casio did a lot of further research into vibration resistance performance and managed to develop a band fixing structure that does not use screws for band fixing pins, eliminating the cause of looseness due to vibration. Casio then adopted the bristle method to fix the band with fine resin shaft cover and fine resin parts enclosing Carbon Fibre.
Impact resistance, Earth tolerance gravity, Vibration resistance.
TRIPLE G RESIST
Casio have harnessed the Triple G Resist and manufactured a unique toughness structure that pursues robustness under harsh environments and withstands the three gravitational accelerations of impact force, centrifugal gravity, and vibration.
JIS Class 1 Magnetic Resistance
Taking advantage of the space that was present due to the innovative thinning of the module, Casio installed a magnetic shield keeping out any unwanted attractions or forces. The magnetic resistance (JI S1 type) is required for daily use so Casio managed to figure out a way to keep the magnetic forces out whilst maintaining the radio reception sensitivity. It also prevents the needle from stopping or shifting with the magnetic force.
Carbon fibre insert band
The carbon fibre strap has excellent tensile durability due to the materials chosen and used in its manufacture especially the resin which allowed Casio to create a tough band structure.
- The image is different from the actual product shape, due to the parts processed for explanation.
Large three dimensional light storing index
Casio have carefully laid out the dials on the watch so that no functionality or display is impaired at all with three-dimensional photographed character, three in-dial and two widows on multilayered dial which improves visibility.
Anti-reflective coating sapphire glass
Beautifully clear and extremely scratch resistant sapphire glass is used as wind shield to ensure clear visibility. The anti-reflective coating is applied to improve the visibility of the dial through the glass.
Carbon fibre made second hand
By manufacturing the second hand from carbon fibre it allowed for improved centering tolerance of second hand and large hand due to it being such a lightweight material. It also enables accurate information display.
Double disk display
For the first time with G-SHOCK, Casio decided to use a two disc display which works by electronic control.
Various analog displays such as date, longitude and day of the week functions are enabled through the use of advanced digital technology.
Super Illuminator (high brightness LED light)
A beautiful bright white LED illuminates the dial with vivid light, and demonstrates excellent visibility in the dark.
Tough movement
A thin analog radio wave solar movement that further improves the reliability of radio controlled watch with 4 advanced functions.
SMART ACCESS
Casio’s proprietary analog system which can operate multiple functions with smooth displays switching by combining electronic crown switch and multi-motor.
- The screen is at development time. It may differ from the actual design.
– Flight log function
Flight log function is installed exclusively for GPW – 2000. From the push of a button the owner / user can operate of the clock, record the time and position at that time in the smartphone application and plot it on the map. You can check the travel history such as departure place, waypoint, destination, return destination etc.
– Automatic time correction
When the watch hits a preset time, it automatically connects to the smartphone and corrects the time of the home time and the world time. (Including daylight saving time switching)
– About 300 cities world time
You can easily set the world time city on the application. By selecting an arbitrary city (about 300 cities) from the world map with an intuitive touch operation, it is possible to display the time of the city on the clock.
– Home time and world
– Time alarm setting
– Toggle ON / OFF of operation sound
- * To make a communication connection with the smartphone, installation of the special application “G – SHOCK Connected” is necessary. It corresponds to our designated iPhone and Android smartphone.
Supported mobile phones (as of February 2017)
- IOS: iOS 10+
- Android: Android 6.0 and above
* Only for terminals equipped with Bluetooth.
