COMING SOON: Casio G-Shock Riseman
[ via Casio ]
UPDATE: (6.4.08) Forgot to mention that this watch has 6-Band Atomic Timekeeping
I have never been a huge Casio fan, although I have an Oceanus 5 Motor Black IP Chrono, but after the Basel Fair I have become much more of a fan. The watches that I never gave much notice to, the G-Shock line, are actually the watches that attracted me to Casio. The Casio G-Shock Riseman debuted in Basel this April and this is the watch that impressed me the most. It is big, and aside from GPS and a Compass, has almost all the functions available from Casio, all in one watch. The Casio G-Shock Riseman will be available June 28th, for $260.

I have always been a fan of Casio watches. They are great work watches and can take a beating. Casio has gone to a new level with the Riseman.
