CASIO opened its interactive, easy-to-navigate online store on the Amazon-acquired SOUQ.com, the leading online portal, after both parties formally sealed their landmark partnership in a high-profile ceremony held recently at Mövenpick Ibn Battuta Gate Hotel, Dubai




The agreement paved the way for customers in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) to conveniently purchase online various top-of-the-line models of shock-resistant G-SHOCK watches as well as other stellar CASIO timepieces and have the ordered premium items delivered right at their doorsteps. CASIO’s partnership with SOUQ.com signals the former’s bid to systematically expand its digital footprint in the UAE, KSA and the rest of the world.




Aiming to reach as many long-time patrons and new customers as possible, CASIO, known for its innovations and emphasis on research and development (R&D), also expects to witness new and higher traffic for its G-SHOCK brand store as a result of its strategic collaboration with SOUQ.com.




Koji Naka, Managing Director of CASIO Middle East, said: “This is an important step in our bid to grow our e-commerce presence across the region. By partnering with SOUQ.com, which has an excellent reputation of empowering retailers and sellers, we are in effect seeking to enhance the experience of our customers and reinforce our delivery capabilities for further client satisfaction. We are delighted to tie up with SOUQ.com in this endeavor as we look forward to delivering continued innovation and outstanding services to our customers wherever they may be.”




SOUQ.com also welcomed its new alliance with CASIO, saying the online store will serve as the fastest and most convenient digital point of sale to buy G-SHOCK and other CASIO watches and for payment to be made using a variety of cash and secure digital options.




“At SOUQ.com, we are committed to bringing the best global brands to our customers in the region.
