In summary: Club de la Montre is a French watch retailer that has sold more than 3,000 watches since 1968. Casio is our best-stocked brand , with 600 active models—535 of which are available for order—ranging in price from €19.90 to over €400. Four main lines cover the essentials: the Vintage Digital, the unbreakable G-Shock, the Analog Collection, and the dressy Edifice. A common misconception debunked in our catalog: of the 130 Casio models with documented displays, only 46 are actually digital.
Casio is the brand everyone thinks they know. We associate it with the gray digital face, the wrist calculator, and the playground watch. But our catalog offers much more: it also includes the 200-meter diver’s watch, the stainless steel chronograph, and the radio-controlled watch that sets itself automatically. Here’s the complete guide, featuring our inventory numbers and 9 verified models available for order on August 18, 2026.
Casio in Five Key Dates
| Year | What's Changing |
|---|---|
| 1946 | Tadao Kashio founded Casio in Japan, initially in the field of electronic calculators |
| 1974 | The Casiotron, the brand's first watch, with an automatic calendar |
| 1983 | Kikuo Ibe invented the G-Shock, designed to survive a fall |
| 1989 | The F-91W, which has been in continuous production ever since, has become the world's best-selling watch |
| 2026 | 600 Casio models in our catalog—the brand with the largest selection in the store |
This story is about an electronics company that approached watchmaking from an engineer's perspective rather than a watchmaker's. That explains its legendary reliability, extensive features, and prices that no traditional brand can match.
What Our Catalog Really Says
Three figures taken from our product sheets—and the first one corrects the idealized image.
| Display Type | Documented Models | What It Is |
|---|---|---|
| Anadigital | 60 | Analog Hands and Digital Display Together |
| Digital | 46 | Just the screen—the legendary Casio |
| Analog | 24 | Analog only, no display |
In other words, purely digital Casio watches are in the minority here. When it comes to water resistance, the same surprise holds true: of the 72 models documented, 29 are rated for 200 meters, which is more than the 23 models rated for 30 meters. Casio makes true water-resistant watches, not just city watches. And among the 124 models listed in the collection, the G-Shock dominates with 74 models, followed by the Vintage Iconic (22) and the Men’s Collection (17).
The Casio Spirit
A brand is best understood in context rather than through a spec sheet. Here are six photos from the Casio collection—from the laundry room to the counter—and for each one, the exact model you see on the wrist or on the table.

The Four Casio Product Families You Should Know About
The Vintage, an icon of the 1980s
Rectangular case, steel link bracelet, segmented display: the Vintage line reinterprets the design elements of the first wave of digital watches and has become a fashion accessory in its own right. It’s also the realm of the famous wrist calculator. Our Casio Vintage guide compares the A168, A158, and A1000 lines in detail, and our guide to vintage men’s watches puts the style into context.

The Collection: The One You Don't Expect
This is the lesser-known side of the brand: watches with hands, sunburst dials, fluted bezels, and steel bracelets—models that draw on the aesthetics of classic watchmaking at a fraction of the price. The collection also includes the Duro diver’s watch, water-resistant to 200 meters, which has become a classic among watch enthusiasts on forums. To help you interpret the engraved meter markings, our maintenance guide explains what they actually indicate.

The G-Shock: The Indestructible Watch
Born in 1983 out of an engineer’s obsession with a watch that wouldn’t break, the G-Shock has become a family all its own: 74 of the 124 collections featured in our section. Two designs stand out: the original square shape of the 5600 series and the octagonal analog-digital design of the 2100 series, nicknamed “CasiOak” by enthusiasts. Our G-Shock guide details each series one by one.

And for those with small wrists
Casio is one of the few brands to offer smaller versions of its iconic models: the Vintage Mini features the iconic silhouette in a significantly smaller case, and the Baby-G line brings the G-Shock philosophy to slender wrists. Pastel colors and gold finishes do the rest. If you’re unsure about the size, our watch size guide provides size ranges based on wrist circumference, and the women’s section lets you filter by size.
How to Choose a Casio
Start with functionality, not style. For the pool and the beach, go for the Duro’s 200-meter water resistance rather than the Vintage’s 30 meters, which can only handle splashes. For the office, the Edifice and the Analog Collection fit under a shirt sleeve without setting off the 7 a.m. alarm.
Choose your watch face carefully. Digital faces are instantly readable at night with the Illuminator; analog faces are more discreet during meetings; and anadigital faces do both and make up the majority of our selection. None is better than the others—they’re just meant for different occasions.
Price isn’t the issue. That’s what makes Casio special: at €20, the F-91W keeps time just as accurately as a €2,000 watch, and its battery life lasts for years. Moving up the Casio lineup doesn’t buy you greater accuracy, but rather durability, better materials, and more features. The rest of your options can be found in the Casio section, in the men’s section, or in the digital watches section.
FAQ: Your Questions About Casio Watches
What is the most famous Casio watch?
The F-91W, launched in 1989 and in continuous production ever since. Its resin case, digital display, and battery life lasting several years have made it the world's best-selling watch. It's priced at €19.90 in our catalog, which is the entry-level price for the entire brand.
Are Casio watches reliable?
Yes, that's actually their long-standing reputation: quartz movements with consistent accuracy, battery life lasting several years on digital models, and cases built to withstand rough handling. The G-Shock was created in 1983 specifically with the idea of a watch that could survive a fall.
Which Casio should I choose to get started?
The F-91W for €19.90 for that iconic look, the Vintage Iconic A168WA for €38 if you prefer stainless steel and a more dressy style, or the Vintage Mini for €34.90 for a slender wrist. All three share the same 1980s digital DNA.
What is the difference between Casio and G-Shock?
G-Shock is not a competing brand: it is a Casio line, launched in 1983 and designed for shock resistance. In our catalog, it accounts for 74 of the 124 models documented in the collection, making it by far the brand’s most extensive line.
Are Casio watches water-resistant?
It depends on the model, and there’s a wide range. Of the 72 items in our department with documented water resistance, 29 are rated for 200 meters and 23 for only 30 meters. The 30-meter rating is suitable for splashes, not swimming: always check the rating on the product page.
Does Casio make analog watches?
Yes, and that’s actually the case for most of our models: of the 130 models with documented displays, 60 are anadigital and 24 are purely analog, compared to only 46 that are purely digital. The Edifice and Collection lines are the best examples of this.
How much does a Casio watch cost?
Our product line starts at €19.90 with the F-91W and goes up to over €400 for the most technically advanced models. The core of the lineup ranges from €35 to €100, where you’ll find the Vintage steel model, the calculator watch, the Duro diver’s watch, and most of the G-Shock models.
Does a Casio watch age well?
Remarkably, provided you change the battery on time and have the gasket checked if you expose it to water. The best example of longevity remains the F-91W: produced exactly the same way since 1989, it has stood the test of time without needing to be redesigned.
A Final Word
Casio is the brand that makes watches accessible without compromising on reliability. From a €20 digital icon to a 200-meter diver’s watch, a stainless-steel chronograph, or an indestructible octagonal model: the 600 styles in our Casio section cover just about every day of a person’s life, which is exactly why this brand has the largest selection in our store.
