How REALLY tough is a G-Shock (torture inside)

[jean-michel]

I have decided to test to the limit a poor G-Shock , the model I have choosen for this test is the DW-9052



Frozen during 48 hours at -18°C



Boilled in hot water (100°C) for 10 minutes



Temperature cycle test : -40°C/+70°C rapid variation and 1 hour to top/min temp : 5 cycles :



Vaccum test : watch in a vaccum chamber (normally used for thin film coatings) for 24 hours and return to ambiant pressure



Gas pressure test : the watch is pressurised at + 2 Bars, then return to ambiant pressure



Cryogenic test : the watch is vaporised with a coolant agent giving peak temperatures at -65°C



Washing machine test : the watch get a full cycle in a waching machine :



Diving test : the watch is regulary test during my dives, max depth -40 meters (picture here taken in a diving pool at -20 meters)



compression test : I drive my range rover over the G-Shock (click to read the video)



and guess what ?

The G-Shock perfectly survive to ALL thoses tests !
