Casio Watches are well-known among many watch enthusiasts in Vietnam. With a rich history and the distinctive characteristics of the Japanese watch industry, Casio timepieces showcase not only beauty in design and quality but also the essence of creativity and dedicated craftsmanship.

In 1983, Casio introduced the G-Shock watch line, defying the prevailing trend of lighter and slimmer timepieces. This innovative collection was designed with a unique concept—rugged, robust, and durable. G-Shock watches are so resilient that they can withstand drops from 10 meters, be run over by a truck, and still function without any impact. To this day, G-Shock remains Casio's best-selling watch line. Over time and continuous development, Casio has released numerous product lines catering to diverse consumer preferences. Currently, Casio watches are present in various provinces and cities across Vietnam, establishing themselves as the best-selling watch brand in this S-shaped country.

From the beginning, Casio watches were designed with the idea of 'products not merely displaying time.' A Casio timepiece should offer more information, such as the date, day of the week, morning and afternoon periods, time in multiple time zones, compass, altitude measurement, and more. Some Casio models are equipped with a thermometer to provide ambient temperature information. Additionally, certain watches come with a dictionary, while others have integrated memory to store phone numbers, emails, and personal schedules. With advancing electronic technology, Casio continues to provide the latest technological features in their watches.
