One Watch Changed Everything
In April 1983, a Casio engineer dropped a prototype watch from the third floor of a building. It survived. The G-Shock DW-5000C was born — and with it, a new standard for what a watch could be. That moment is where our story begins.
WatchesAndMore grew out of that same obsession: finding watches that genuinely earn their place on your wrist. We started as fans, became collectors, and eventually built a hub where every watch lover — beginner or veteran — can find honest guidance, great picks, and a community that speaks their language.
Why 1983 Matters
April 1983. Casio engineer Kikuo Ibe drops a prototype watch from the third floor of a Tokyo building. It hits the ground. He picks it up. It's still running. The G-Shock DW-5000C is born — and with it, a category-defining moment in watchmaking history.
That watch mattered not because it was expensive or exclusive, but because it was built for real life. It was tough enough for a construction site and cool enough for the street. It proved that great design and genuine durability don't have to cost a fortune. That philosophy is the foundation of everything we do at WatchesAndMore.
We carry the spirit of 1983 into every recommendation we make — whether it's a $45 Casio or a $1,500 Seiko. The question is always the same: does this watch earn its place on your wrist? If the answer is yes, we'll tell you about it. If it doesn't, we'll tell you that too.
"Born 1983" isn't just a tagline. It's a reminder of why we started, and a promise about how we operate: with the same no-nonsense honesty that made that original G-Shock legendary.
