How Waterproof Casio G-Shock really is? Deep Sea Test

How deep can you really dive with a Casio G-Shock digital watch? We are going to use our deep sea / pressure chamber and test Casio G-shock watch for it's maximum depth / pressure! Our deep sea chamber goes all the way to 300 bars that equals 3 kilometers or 2 miles of depth so we can simulate conditions on bottom of the ocean in this experiment.

It's satisfying to find products that actually perform to and beyond their ratings. There seems to be so much false advertising out there. Well done G- Shock!

[@jarekpszuk6944]

Casio watches are notoriously good in water resistance, even the 10 dollar Casio F91W is able to survive scuba diving trips with advertised 30 meter water resistance.

[@AlexKall]

I remember a TV show or something that tested one long time ago, they even bbqed the watch, the plastic melted and the display cut out as long as it was on the BBQ, but as soon as it was removed it worked flawlessly. Impressive watches! Had one of those with 10 year battery and it did hold out for at least 8 years which is impressive as I used the backlight quite a lot. The only thing bad was the backlight button as it was just a thin bit of metal which broke of. I took it apart but didn't get the gasket on as it was supposed to go on so it wasn't water proof any more. Showered and had it under water, could see water droplets inside but still worked even with the water inside it. But it got condensation on the inside of the glass easily so a bought a new watch of the same watch again 👍

So unless you drop the watch in the Mariana trench and plan to magically defy physics and get it... this video is just for fun (unless it breaks at human diver depths... which i don't need to see the video to know it will survive). They can survive hammer hits, being run over, repeatedly smashed on a brick wall... and this is just my personnel experience.

It seemed to really not like the speed at which you increased pressure. I'd be curious to see if it would hold up to greater pressure if you went slower (more like real scenario since you can't dive that fast)
