The popularity of G-SHOCK increased sharply in the mid-1980s, worn initially by skateboarders for their robustness before gaining prominence in street culture and becoming an integral piece of wristwear in the world of music, fashion and sports, as well as the artistic landscape of urban culture. It delivers a small feature set for a G-SHOCK: analog and digital time, stopwatch, world time, perpetual calendar (good through 2099), five daily alarms and a countdown timer.
