Casio is known for its G-Shock series that is shockproof and can be taken diving. This extraordinary ability makes it the watch of choice for members of special forces around the world. In Japan, Casio has launched a watch that can withstand extreme heat for use in sauna rooms.
This Casio CPP-002 watch can function up to temperatures reaching 100 degrees Celsius and is also made of a material that will cause the wearer to experience burns. The watch frame is made of heat-resistant resin with a metal screen hidden so that it does not touch the wearer's skin.
The numbers on the watch face are large so that they can still be seen in a steamy sauna room. The watch strap is also of the loop type that makes the skin of the hand comfortable to wear without trapping sweat. There is a 12-minute timer mode because in Japan this is believed to be the maximum time to be in a sauna room. In Japan, it is raising funds through a mutual fund site and can be purchased for 7,840 Yen (~RM 232) each
