The G-Shock RISEMAN is the world's first watch to feature the Multi-Band 6 Atomic Timekeeping Technology, which enables the watch to receive time calibration radio signals from up to six transmitters worldwide. For superior display accuracy, the signals are received up to six times a day.
Inspired by those who challenge high altitudes, the RISEMAN features a shock resistant design while the barometric pressure, altitude, and temperature measurement capabilities of this watch make it a perfect choice for mountain bike downhill racing, backcountry skiing and snowboarding, and just about any other sport where the action can get fast and furious. The altimeter mode has its own independent stopwatch, which can be used to keep track of altitude changes over time. In classic G-Shock fashion, the backcover of this model is imprinted with a dragon, since according to folklore, dragons are mystical rulers of weather.
The crystal oscillator and other important parts inside the module are individually protected with cushioning material. Individual cushioning prevents contact failures and improper operation due to distortions that could otherwise occur inside the module if the watch experienced a sudden strong impact

The G-Shock RISEMAN features a unique three-layer structured shock resistant twin sensor to measure altitude and barometric pressure as well as temperature. This is yet another example of G-Shock's constantly evolving toughness and technology.
