Does "DW" stand for "Digital Watch"?

[Sjors]

Some more:
GA: "G analogue"
GD: "G digital"
GLX: "G lide extreme"
GLS: no idea what the "S" is for - any suggestions?

cheers, Sedi

S = Snowboarding/Surfing/Skateboarding?



Typical Surf model



Winter Collection '08, must be a typical Snowboard model.

Cheers,

GIEZ?

AFAIK it stands for "the essence of G-Shock".

Yang, that is excellent info! That needs to go with the old thread that shows how to read model numbers and serial numbers. Good stuff!

Sent from the office of the reincarnated President of the Republic of Texas.

Yeah model numbers start with the prefix as discussed above, followed by model number, then detail such as T for titanium, RD for burning man in red, BP for man in dark purple, TC for triple crown, WC for world cup, G for gold model, NISMO for Nissan motorsport, etc, followed by a dash and then color code, 1 for black, 2 for blue, 3 for green, 4 for red, 5 for brown, 6 for purple, 7 for white, 8 for grey, 9 for yellow, and last part designates the market, so J for JDM, ER for europe, etc.

Thats why when I dyed a white watch recently, First Dye Project - BGR3000J-7, i mentioned that it went from a BGR3000J-7 to BGR3000J-6 but Im not sure how many people got that reference haha...

Giez is a town in Switzerland with a long watchmaking history. The name is a nod to the watchmaking tradition that started there.

GIEZ?

This was never confirmed. But my solution was probably also incorrect - this is the answer:
Giez-what does it mean?

cheers, Sedi

I think GS = GIEZ line.

Pretty sure it is taken from the Japanese pronunciation of "G Essence" sounding like "G-esu" and therefore changing the spelling to "Giez." Although possible it would be highly unlikely that Casio would pay tribute to a town of 341 people in Europe with what I assume to be a history of mechanical watch making. The same spelling is highly probable to be a coincidence.
