The heavily attended professional surfing competition draws over 500,000 spectators annually. The event doesn’t stop at the shoreline, it will also host eye-opening tricks from the most talented skaters and BMX riders from across the globe.

Casio G-Shock Watch With Bluetooth
Jul 13th
Casio’s new G-SHOCK watch is the first in a line of new watches that will use Bluetooth® Low Energy Wireless Technology, with a function that can adjust time automatically all over the world. Casio is positioning these watches as next-generation wristwatches.
The watch supports communication with Bluetooth® Low Energy smart phones that will hit the market in 2011, to enable automatic synchronization with smart phone time. Smart phones automatically acquire the local time when moving between countries and regions in different time zones, which means that the synchronized watch will adjust to the time in its present location automatically.
In addition, integration of Bluetooth® Low Energy support opens the doors to completely new ways of using watches as new applications are developed for smart phones; for instance, communication between watches through smart phones. The expectation is that these new watches will be able to connect to networks of various kinds of devices that support the Bluetooth® Low Energy standard.
Casio has designed the watch to offer a battery life of approximately two years*2 from a single button-cell battery. Together with Bluetooth® Low Energy Wireless Technology, this ensures an eminently practical watch without the bother of recharging, just like what is expected of a wristwatch.

G-Shock Watches – New Casio Mudman G-9300 G-Shock Watch
May 16th
New G-Shock Mudman
Casio announced the release of a new shock-resistant model in its G-SHOCK MUDMAN line of dust-resistant, mud-resistant watches. Equipped with magnetic and temperature sensors, the new G-9300 displays both compass bearing and temperature.
Since the release of the original G-SHOCK watch in 1983, the brand has continued to evolve, with advanced functions, construction and design all based on outstanding shock resistance. As part of its “Master of G” series of watches designed for use in harsh environments, Casio has developed the high-pressure water-resistant G-Shock FROGMAN, the mud-resistant G-Shock MUDMAN, the rust-resistant G-Shock GULFMAN, and the high-altitude-ready G-Shock RISEMAN. These watches have been well received for further increasing the toughness of the G-SHOCK brand.
The new G-9300 is a solar-powered, shock-resistant G-SHOCK MUDMAN. It boasts resin-covered buttons and construction that helps to keep dust and mud out of the watch, developed for use in harsh environment like deserts and jungles. The watch is intended, in particular, to provide the reliability and functionality needed for several-day rally racing through a desert region.
With one press of the large button at the 3 o’clock position, the user can get a compass bearing, no matter what functional mode the watch may be in. In an environment like the desert where there are few landmarks, the G-9300 allows the user to immediately confirm orientation. In addition, a circular LCD indicator at the 10 o’clock position provides a graphic compass.
When bivouacking between rally stages, the G-9300 can show the dramatic temperature changes between day and night that occur in the extreme environmental conditions of the desert. There is also an indicator at the 9 o’clock position that displays a graphic of the moon phases. This makes it possible to determine how bright the moon will be for activities come nightfall. Casio’s Tough Solar power system for charging by daylight further adds to the reliability of this watch as a high-performance instrument.
Naturally, the G-9300 also provides a 1/100-second stopwatch that runs up to 1000 hours, an indispensable function for rally racing. Even while measuring elapsed time over long periods, this highly practical watch can still determine compass bearing and measure temperature.
With the new G-9300, Casio has combined its proprietary design technologies for toughness with its unique electronic technologies for sensor operation and digital display. The result is a tough watch that offers clearly superior performance and a high level of reliability even under the most challenging conditions. For our complete G-Shock watch range – Click here
