Casio’s new smartphone looks like an oversized watch; might survive the apocalypse

It's probably not bullet-resistant, but it may be the closest you'll get

Looking for the most rugged smartphone on the planet? Well then, meet the new Casio — yes, that Casio — Android G-Shock. It's the kind of smartphone that Lewis and Clark would have taken with them had there been 4G cell service in 1804.

The phone appears to be geared toward the more adventurous smartphone owner — it's both water-resistant (to 1.0 bar) and pressure-resistant (1.0 ton), so you can take it deep sea diving. It's also shock-resistant to 10 feet, so if your son drops it off the front porch, you're covered. Oh, and did we mention that its thick frame and unusual shape makes it looks exactly like an oversized watch?

Cool and stylish as the phone looks from the outside, we really don't know a lot about the inside yet, because Casio's not telling us. All we know is that it'll be running Android. Casio is being hush-hush about the smartphone's processor as well, aside from the fact that it still works even at the bottom of your backyard swimming pool.
