Casio Men's Digital Quartz Watch with Plastic Strap GBD-200-1ER

Product Information

Additionally, via its permanent Bluetooth connection, it can synchronize itself with your compatible smartphone and update its time metrics to stay more accurate than a regular watch. They’re a step up from the GBD-200 in terms of fitness tracking, but the battery life is about a week. It’s clear and legible even in sunlight though, and if you still struggle due to the size, one of the alternate time layouts features very large numbers, making it easier to see.

The Mode button cycles through the menu, showing the interval workout screen, the stopwatch, activity data, and the notification window. Not only are their watches extremely distinctive but you get superior protection with trademark shock-resistance.The brand’s timepieces are affordable and long-wearing, making them a favourite to both enthusiasts and everyday people. It certainly looks somewhat different from the Casio G-Shock GBD-H1000, a running watch that helped Casio establish itself on the running wearables market.

The size means seeing notification details isn’t always easy at a glance, especially if like me your eyesight isn’t absolutely perfect.The GBD-200 doesn’t provide the same level of interaction or smartphone syncing as an Apple Watch or other full touchscreen smartwatch, but it does enough to be helpful. A long press of the Adjust button opens a varied settings menu, while a short press changes the main time display’s layout. Enables not only stopwatch measurements, but also distance, speed, pace, and calorie consumption measurements.

Casio became involved in electronics in 1954 when they released Japan's first electro-mechanical calculator. Notifications have been very reliable, but don’t expect them to be as glanceable or actionable as on a smartwatch with a touchscreen. The light button is positioned on the case front for handy access to ensure an easy read during night workouts.

The GBD-200 meets G-Shock’s usual toughness standards, so it’s shock and vibration proof and is water-resistant to 200 meters. You can also check the life log and activity history of steps and calorie consumption with the dedicated app "G-SHOCK MOVE" to support your daily workout.
