Casio G-Shock GRAVITYMASTER GR-B200RAF-8AJR Royal AIR Force Collaboration Model Watch (Japan Domestic Genuine Products), Dark Grey

Product Information

As the seconds and minutes of the stopwatch are indicated on the sub register at 8, which is originally the second time zone dial of the watch, I’m curious what will happen after 24 minutes when the 24-hour scale of the dial ends. Here’s what happens; the stopwatch just stops at 24 minutes – it stops! 24 minutes… that’s all it does. 1/20 of a second accuracy nice, however only able to record times up to 24 minutes is hardly usable as a serious stopwatch. -3. Stopwatch Function: Measuring Capacity: 24 hours, Measuring Modes: Elapsed time, split time, 1st-2nd place times, Measuring Unit: 1/100 second (for the first 60 minutes) 1 second (after 60 minutes). Barometer Function: A built-in air pressure sensor measures ambient air pressure and presents this on a display to indicate weather patterns, Display range: 260 to 1,100 hPa (7.6 to 32.5 inHg), Display unit: 1 hPa (0.1 inHg). Built-In Sensors: Quad Sensor with an accelerometer, compass, barometer, altimeter and thermometer.

Positive. As mentioned there’s a sub-dial at 8 permanently indicating a second time zone in 24-hour format. This is a nice and functional feature; the watch has 40 time zones to choose from. I had an appointment with Casio at Baselworld to be informed about the novelties for this year. I promise some pretty awesome stuff is coming up. Here’s a picture peek already, however of course I will do an extensive article here at Fratello Watches later on. Stay tuned. As mentioned in one of my earlier 52Mondayz columns, I’m a fan of (ana-)digital quartz watches. Besides my real passion for high-end and even complicated classical timepieces, I love watches with additional functions which can’t be fulfilled by a mechanical movement. It’s no secret that there’s always an Apple Watch on my right wrist, whilst wearing a (real) watch on my left. Novelties at Baselworld Spherical Glass: The surface of the watch glass is domed. This offers a high level of stability and resistance against pressure. Thermometer Function: A built-in temperature sensor measures the ambient temperature around the watch and displays it on the LCD, Measuring range: -10°C to 60°C (14°F to 140°F); measuring unit: 0.1°C (0.2°F).Solar means Powered by any light source, saving time and money as no battery change required- known as TOUGH SOLAR Can be charged by daylight on a window sill or by artificial light. A rough guide would be; Outdoor Sunlight - 5 minutes, Sunlight through window - 24 minutes, Cloudy Day through window - 48 minutes, Flourescent lights - 8 hours. Then hopefully the large and quite voluminous time minute and/or hour hands are not anywhere between 6 and 9 at the dial, because in that case they will obstruct the stopwatch sub-register for a great deal, disabling you to functionally use the stopwatch. -2. After the mode pusher, starting the stopwatch is done by pressing the top-right pusher; no surprise here. The indication of seconds and minutes of the stopwatch is done in the sub-register at 8. However it takes quite a while before the hands in this sub-register have set to zero, so you can’t just set the function to ST and start the stopwatch; depending on where the little hands are in the sub-dial it’ll take quite some seconds before you’re able to operate the stopwatch. -1. What a big, instrumental, mean but at the same time good-looking, as well extremely readable piece of machinery! It’s huge in diameter (56 mm) and hight (18,8 mm), the weight’s just fine (126 g). The strap seems long enough to fit two wrists, and certainly would fit over a flight-overall. Whatever functions it might further have, the time is readable under almost all lighting conditions. And even in pitch-dark a super bright auto LED light can be activated automatically as you turn the watch toward yourself. The luminous Neobrite material of the hands and 3D indexes provides long-term illumination in the dark after only a short exposure to light.

Power Saving: The following operations are stopped to save power: all hand movement (excluding the day indicator), Bluetooth connection, if applicable and alarms. Bluetooth Connectivity: Signal Range: Up to 2m (may differ depending on surrounding conditions), The watch can be wirelessly connected to a compatible smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth. The energy-saving technology enables access to a host of functions., Phone Finder, Mission Function on App records altitude data and route information.The watch is very suitable if your looking to wear a watch which which won’t be mistaken as a serious instrument. Nothing dressy here, it’s boldness and professionalism all over.
