Watches, as an indispensable fashion accessory in modern society, often represent a symbol of taste and status. However, behind this seemingly light accessory, have you ever wondered what is the maximum pressure-bearing capacity of the watch?

Perhaps for those hundreds of thousands, or even millions of famous watches, this problem seems a little out of reach. However, in places we didn't expect, there was a watch brand that bravely pushed the envelope and managed to set a record for the heaviest weight of a watch.

Today's protagonist is the legend in the world of watching, the omnipotent G, Casio's G-SHOCK series. The G-SHOCK series has always been admired for its rugged design.

On a certain autumn day in 2017, G-SHOCK decided to show the world the true strength of their products, and they chose a classic watch - DW-5600E-1VQ, which is a "small square" that everyone is very familiar with, and even many watch gamers have bought, and conducted an extreme load-bearing test.

The challenge was unusual, and they found a car weighing 24The 97-ton truck, with its "small squares" on the road, is ready to let the truck tires roll over the watch.

At this moment, everyone could not help but worry about this watch, because even if the surface of the watch is made of a hard sapphire crystal, the huge load-bearing capacity makes it difficult to imagine whether it will survive the disaster.

However, G-SHOCK watches show amazing ability to withstand stress. The watch's impact-resistant construction is fully exploited, and the attachment point between the strap and the case is fixed in an arc, allowing the watch to quickly flatten and distribute the pressure when the truck tires roll over, and then quickly return to its original shape.

After being heavily pressed by the big truck three times in a row, only the surface of the DW-5600E-1VQ was stained with dust, and everything else was intact.

During the test, the "little square" was weighed by three pieces weighing 2497 tons of truck tires ran over continuously. Surprisingly, however, the watch is unscathed and still able to display the time normally.

The surface was just stained with some dust from the tires, turning the watch from black to gray, but it was not affected in any way in terms of functionality. At this moment, G-SHOCK watches managed to set the Guinness World Record for the heaviest load-bearing.

Guinness World Records Award.

As a "little square" that many players consider a Casio classic, the charm is not only reflected in its sturdy shell. And it is very versatile, and the price is only about 500 yuan. Really worthy of the title of omnipotent g. Hotspot Engine Program
