This Casio G-Shock is an Ultra-Rugged Smartwatch Running Wear OS

I love watches, and I cannot stop myself from talking about how Casio Yard-Stupor is the watch to go for if you are looking for something rugged and something that can stand the test of fourth dimension. Of course, I have been called the 'Swiss-snob' more times than I can remember, but that does not mean that I admire Casio for the value they present, especially their G-Daze lineup, which is built to last.

This Casio G-Shock Could be the Most Rugged Smartwatch Y'all Can Buy

All the same, the i thing that I never imagined was a Casio running Wear Bone, but apparently, information technology has happened. Casio has announced the GSW-H1000-1ER or the "G Team Pro," a smartwatch that runs Google'due south Wear Os under the hood, packs one of the thickest cases I take seen and a touch screen display.

The brandish is likewise a dual-monochrome option, which means that the watch can switch off the power-hungry master display and save a chunk of battery life. You lot are also getting an optical eye rate sensor, a compass, altitude and air pressure sensor, gyrometer, GPS, accelerometer, and more than.

This is what Casio has to say about their latest release.

Congenital to offer all the unique, original stupor resistance of a G-SHOCK, plus water resistance, the GSW-H1000 too includes a microphone, charging terminal and more. Fifty-fifty while using glass thick enough to ensure 200-meter h2o resistance, the screen still facilitates smooth touch-sensitive control. The case back, made of titanium, ensures excellent corrosion resistance and has a titanium carbide finish to provide enhanced chafe resistance.

This G-Shock is fully capable of working with Google Fit, and in addition to that, tin besides exist used with Casio'due south "G-Daze Move" app if you are looking for more workout and tracking options.

If you are looking to invest in the One thousand-Shock, this will go on auction sometime in May across the U.S. and the UK and will cost you lot a hefty $700 in the states and £600 in the UK.

This is not the outset time a renowned watchmaker has announced a smartwatch; Tag Heuer has done it in the past and many other companies, and while I do not come across myself e'er jumping the smartwatch bandwagon, I am certain this would look like gilded to a lot of people.
