The Master of G is a line of G-Shock watches produced by Japanese electronics company Casio designed for usage in harsh environments. Many showcase new technology that Casio would eventually introduce into the G-Shock line of watches, such as an altimeter , digital compass and the Tough Solar feature.
DW-8600 Fisherman (1996): First G-Shock to include a tide graph and moonphase feature. This model was a precursor to the more popular Gulfman series first introduced in 1998. [15] DW-9300 Raysman (1998): First G-Shock to have tough solar battery recharging technology. [16] DW-9800 Wademan (1999): First G-Shock with directional sensor. [17]
Many Edifice watches utilise Tough Solar, Casio's brand name for solar powered batteries. More advanced models are "Waveceptors" which can calibrate themselves with atomic clocks via radio waves. Some models have Bluetooth connectivity which enable them to be monitored via a smart phone and to share chronograph data.
Batteries Plus (stylized as Batteries+, formerly Batteries Plus Bulbs stylized as Batteries+Bulbs) is an American retail chain of 600+ franchise outlets [2] founded in 1988 that sells and recycles [3] [4] [5] batteries of varying size and voltage that provide power to operate consumer electronics, watches, cell phones, digital cameras, automobiles and other devices that require DC power.

The suffix after the G indicates the pin spread; the G dates to the use of Glass for the original bulbs. GU usually also indicates that the lamp provides a mechanism for physical support by the luminaire: in some cases, each pin has a short section of larger diameter at the end (sometimes described as a "peg" rather than a "pin" [2]); the socket allows the bulb to lock into place by twisting ...
Incandescent bulbs have a shorter life than most other lighting, an important factor if replacement is inconvenient or expensive. Some types of lamp, including incandescent and fluorescent, emit less light as they age; this may be an inconvenience, or may reduce effective lifetime due to lamp replacement before total failure.
Typical incandescent lighting is 2700 K, which is yellowish-white. [48] Halogen lighting is 3000 K. [49] Fluorescent lamps are manufactured to a chosen CCT by altering the mixture of phosphors inside the tube. Warm-white fluorescents have CCT of 2700 K and are popular for residential lighting.
The susceptibility to thermal shock makes manufacture of hermetically sealed glass bulbs difficult and costly. Therefore, most contemporary " black-light " bulbs are made of structurally more suitable glass with only a layer of a UV-filtering enamel on its surface; [ citation needed ] such bulbs, however, pass much more visible light, appearing ...
