Casio’s long line of G-SHOCK watches has just become bigger with a brand-new model that’s powered by Google’s Wear OS, the mobile platform that breathes life into many so-called smartwatches.
Dubbed GSW-H1000, Casio’s newly unveiled smartwatch, is part of the G-SQUAD PRO series and promises to offer a host of functions meant to help users stay fit using activity goals and fitness tracking.
Since this is a G-SHOCK wearable, it’s one of the toughest on the market, featuring shock resistance and 200-meter water resistance. Also, the smartwatch packs an optical sensor that measures heart rate, a compass, altitude/air pressure sensor, accelerometer, gyrometer, built-in GPS, and more.
Casio’s smartwatch combines a monochrome display, always-on LCD for time display with a color LCD for when you want those high-definition maps displayed on the screen. The dual display lets users choose the right setting while maintaining suitable visibility at all times.
