On August 9, the G-SHOCK event “SHOCK THE WORLD 2012” was held at the Manhattan Center in New York City.
This was the first in a series of celebratory events planned at locations around the world leading up to next-year's 30th anniversary of the G-SHOCK. As the largest ever event of its kind, it attracted a huge crowd of media and distributors not just from the US, but from all over the world.
This year's theme is “Evolution of G-SHOCK”.
In the 30 years since it was first released in 1983, the evolution of the G-SHOCK has continued without pause. The G-SHOCK has never stopped striving to be “tough”.
As well as highlighting this evolution, the event also introduced models featuring new groundbreaking innovations, such as the Bluetooth v. 4.0-compatible G-SHOCK.
