Fortima Trading out of Bettlach, Switzerland) imports Casio Watches from Japan.

I am a Casio G-Shock Embassador and as a skateboarder, I'm very pleased with the quality and toughnes of those watches.

Nothing can bring them down... I've got quite a collection of G-Shock watches at home - it's like an addiction with shoes, you can just never really stop to get new ones, even if the old models are still functionable and stylish.

At the moment, I'm wearing a G-SHOCK GRAVITY DEFIER (GW-2500BD)

The features:

- Shock-resistant
- Tough Solar (= solar powered, no battery needed)
- 20-bar water resistant
- Radio-controlled (Multi Band 6)

- Full auto LED light
- World time
- Stopwatch (1/100-sec.)
- Countdown timer
- 5 daily alarms

The coolest thing about those watches with Tough Solar and Multi Band is (apart from the fact that they are almost undestroyable) that you practically NEVER have to worry about setting the time or replacing the battery. The time sets itself and the watch gets charged by the sun.

Multi Band 6 means that the time is set automatically from six different transmission stations around the globe: Germany, UK, North America, China and two in Japan. So wherever you are, this watch picks up the radio signal and set's the time accordingly.
