This week, Casio Computer Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Casio Corporation, released a virtual attraction called G-SHOCK THE RIDE, which allows users to experience what it might be like to participate in the durability testing that Casio does on the G-SHOCK line of shock-resistant watches. On the social virtual reality platform VRChat, you can access the amusement-park-like virtual ride.
In October 2023, Casio opened a virtual G-SHOCK STORE on VRChat to provide metaverse-based content offering visitors the opportunity to customize their G-SHOCK watches, to see how VRChat avatars look while wearing the watches they have designed, and so forth. In order to serve as a point of contact between the G-SHOCK brand and new users, the space is designed to serve as a point of interaction.

It is intended that the space will serve as a point of contact between the G-SHOCK brand and new users.
With the release of G-SHOCK THE RIDE, Casio is now offering its users a simulated experience of future G-SHOCK durability tests through a ride-type attraction that is part of Casio's second offering of VRChat-based content.
It is true that G-SHOCK THE RIDE is based on actual G-SHOCK durability tests conducted at the Hamura R&D Center, the center in which the brand develops its watches, but it goes much further than that, featuring a narrative that imagines how that durability test might be in the future.. In order to experience the kind of fantastic, beyond-reality immersive experiences that can only be enjoyed in virtual reality spaces, the attraction invites users to get on board a G-SHOCK with their avatar, just as if they were stepping into an amusement park ride.. In addition to offering a fun, game-like experience for guests at G-SHOCK THE RIDE, the attraction also offers a space expressing the true, reality-based world view of G-SHOCK as well as the exacting durability tests the brand conducts to ensure that its watches are as tough as possible
