Hi! Thank-you for doing this AMA. I have a few questions
I read that you were inspired to create a super-durable watch after you dropped a watch that was a graduation present from your father. What watch was that?
I have never seen an interview with you where you talk about non G-shock watches. Do you have an interest in other watches? If so, what non G-shock watches do you like?
The original G-Shock was built to be the ultimate tool watch - rugged and durable. While functional, it seems like aesthetics were a distant second when designing the watch. The modern G-shock has evolved into a kind of fashionable item, with colourful and eye-catching designs. How do you feel about that? Were you part of this design shift at Casio?
Does ultra-accurate timekeeping (such as in the Citizen Chronomaster) interest you? Would that be something that you would consider for the future of G-shock? We were talking last week about how someone recently built a pocket watch that uses atomic time-keeping. What do you think about that?
One of the trends of modern watches is a resurgence in interest in mechanical watches, despite the fact that they offer no practical advantage over quartz timepieces. What do you think of that?
