Our verdict
What we liked
- Futuristic "Alien" Aesthetic The watch features a completely unique silver-coated design that is styled to look like an "Alien" watch, making it visually striking and distinct.
- Shock Release Hand Tech It is equipped with a special "Shock Release Hand" mechanism where the minute hand detaches/moves to absorb shock during an impact and then automatically restabilizes, protecting the movement.
- Massive Battery Life Comes with an impressive 10-year battery life, which is a significant advantage over many other models.
- Dual LED Illumination Features a dual LED setup that lights up from both sides, providing a unique and effective illumination.
- Robust Protection Built with 200-meter water resistance, mineral glass, and a resin case with "protection" branding, ensuring high durability.
Could be better
- Polarizing Design The bold, "crazy" design is not suitable for everyday wear or for older age groups; it is specifically targeted at a younger, style-conscious audience.
- Missing Smart Features Despite the higher price point (approx ₹11,000), it lacks modern features like Bluetooth connectivity or solar charging found in other G-Shocks.

About Casio
All CasioCasio began in Japan in April 1946 as Kashio Seisakujo, set up by Tadao Kashio and his three brothers, and made its name with calculators before it made watches. The listed Casio Computer Co. still owns it outright. In 2025 Casio started making 28 watch models in India, and it sells G-Shock, Edifice and Vintage through its own stores and authorised retailers.
