It’s about time. 

After being available in many outlets and online stores for years, G-shock has finally opened its first company-owned store in the Philippines. Located on the ground floor of Venice Grand Canal Mall in Taguig, the global retailer of premium timepieces marked the grand store opening earlier this month with a simple but very meaningful program.

Being a brand that was born with the idea of having an indestructible watch, it is fitting that G-shock would open a physical store in the midst of a pandemic. This speaks a lot about the resilience of G-shock, and an awesome way to truly live out the brand slogan—Absolute Toughness.

“Like any survivor in this COVID-19 pandemic, we remain strong and resilient,” said Primrose Condez, Retail Manager, CSC Time Inc., the new official distributor of Casio Timepieces in the Philippines. “We are committed to bringing stunning, innovative, and unbreakable watches to the Filipino market.”

While G-shock was doing well, with sales coming from different outlets, the brand recognized the improvement of the country’s situation during the pandemic and has taken the opportunity to bring high quality and premium watches closer to everyone. 

Aside from CSC Time Inc. officials and members of the press, special celebrity guest Dominic Roque graced the event. The actor, model, businessman, and popular blogger gushed about how he has been a fan of G-shock since he was a kid. 

“The first G-shock I had was when I was in grade school,” Roque said. “Today, I wear them a lot, especially when I do outdoor activities, such as motorcycling or biking; or even when I do water sports activities.”

That’s the beauty of G-shock—whether one needs a watch that’s shock resistant, something fashionable, or more on the classic side, G-shock has got the perfect watch for just about anyone. Timepieces made by Casio, which manufactures G-shock, never fails to give individuals the perfect selection that watch enthusiasts simply could not resist. 

The new store showcases an exciting lineup of G-Shock watches—pieces that take toughness to the limit and are stronger than ever. There’s the GM-2100 Series, Full Metal Series, G-Grey Skeleton Series, as well as the GSquad, G-Steel, and G-Shock MTG lineups. The G-Shock x Rui Hachimura collaboration watch will also be available in store.

“We are very enthusiastic to bring our wide range of G-SHOCK watches to more Filipinos,” said Condez. “In fact, we are about to open a second company-owned G-shock store in Metro Manila—before the year ends. That’s all because of the support of our loyal customers.”
