Will Casio’s G-Shock GA-700 survive after being hit by “high performance cars”, namely the Audi TT Coupe, BMW X4 and Porsche 911 Carrera S?
Interestingly, we first used “crash test dummies” and what was observed did not bode well for what was in store for the Casio G-Shock GA-700.
When crash test dummies were first used, the initial observations led us to believe that these were potentially destructive tests for the Casio G-Shock GA-700. Photo: © TANG Portfolio / TimeWerke. Elfa / Timmy.

What is the point in showing all these toy car smash-ups with the Casio G-Shock GA-700?
Granted that these are toy cars but the aim is to demonstrate that Casio G-Shocks are not only tough but are essentially child-proof timepieces.
None of the die-cast metal toy cars even managed to damage the mineral glass of the Casio G-Shock GA-700 despite the multiple “high-speed” collisions.
Note: A die-cast car toy is one that is typically a collectible with its body produced by using a mould filled with molten lead or zinc alloy. These metal toys are then assembled with other components that can be made of either rubber, plastic or metal machined parts.
