Officer Vittorio M. - Bellevue, WA
I am writing you to express my complete satisfaction with my Casio G Shock watch. I began my Law Enforcement Career in January of 1988 and began searching for a watch that would handle the rigors of my job. I inquired with other Police Officers asking for their advice on which watch to purchase and every response I received was the Casio G Shock. I began looking for the best bargain and at that time the best price I could find was $99.00. I thought it to be a bit pricey given the rigors of my job and the fact that I would probably have to replace it sooner than I wanted to. However, despite my hesitation, I took the advice given to me and purchased the G Shock.
I was very glad I made that decision! This watch has handled the rigors of the 6 month Miami Police Academy, physical altercations during arrests, Riot School and monthly trainings, Tactical Diver course, many scuba diving trips, bicycling, 3 triathlons, running, water skiing, and many other sporting and work related activities. After sixteen and a half years of owning this watch, the rubber around the face is just now starting to crack and peel away making it time to buy a new watch. The original band lasted 5 years but the watch is still going strong. Amazingly enough, this watch is still operating on its original battery, and no this is not a solar powered watch.
Given the G Shock’s proven performance, I am proud to say that I am convinced that the Casio G Shock is the watch for me and have since replaced my old watch with a new Atomic G Shock GW-300. I can assure you that if anyone asks my advice on what type of watch to purchase, I will give the same advice that was given to me. The Casio G Shock! In reviewing the functions of my new watch, the technology of the G Shock has come a long way which makes it an even easier sell. I intend to put my old watch in a shadow box with all of my other work related items of remembrance just to see how long this battery is going to last and to tell the story behind it.
In case you have never thought of this, you should consider marketing your watch to Law Enforcement, Fire, Medics and the Military. I am convinced that by targeting these groups, your business will continue to thrive.
Thank you for providing such a good quality watch.
