asio set the standard for toughness when it introduced
the G-SHOCK to the world in 1983. Over the years the
brand has continued to raise the bar with each new
G-SHOCK creation.
The popular G-LIDE series was recently enhanced with new
models that offer the ultimate in urban style. Featuring a color-
ful marbled pattern, the first collection pairs ultimate toughness
with urban, yet surf-ready style, all for $160. The second G-LIDE
series features a monochromatic color scheme of black and white.
Available in all white, all black or a two-tone model with a white
face and black band, the watch retails for $130. Equipped with
the brand’s legendary water, magnetic and shock resistance, both
55mm models feature a case, bezel and band made of resin and a
scratch-resistant mineral crystal. A wide range of functions include
a thermometer, world time, moon data, tide graph, countdown
timer, five daily alarms, full auto-calendar, hourly time signal and
LED light in addition to analog and digital timekeeping.
