Casio’s actually doing what the smartwatch industry needs most: Providing you with a choice of designs. Casio G-Shock continues to expand its connected sports watch range, and has announced the GBA-900 series, following on from the GBA-800 released in 2018.

A highresolution MIP LCD enhances readability, and enables display of tide graph, moon data, tide levels, and sunrise and sunset times. This can be quite useful, for example, if you want to know the patterns of the tides at your destination in advance. Check tide graphs, moon age, high/low tide times and levels, and sunrise/sunset times — all at a glance. There’s no need to charge the watch’s battery, and although there’s no solar charging, the internal battery should last for a year or two, depending on your use of the connected features. It just about succeeded in terms of design, but it struggled with wearability simply because it was big, thick, and pretty heavy.

Memory-in-pixel (MIP) LCD offers high-resolution display of tide graphs and moon data, while smartphone connectivity provides multifunction capability with ease of use.

It may not sound like it at first, but this is a big deal, as the GBD-200 is an excellent hybrid smartwatch, but the design may not appeal to everyone. We will collect the Import Fees Deposit at the time of your purchase and use it to cover applicable taxes and duties on import. Once you’ve set preferences, the world time, daily targets, and the tide graph, chances are you’ll leave the app alone, so its niggles don’t get frustrating. I object to the Casio G Move Phone app collecting data about me in any case so I've disabled this feature. Also provides comfort with a soft urethane band with slits that help with fit and allow water and sweat to escape.Based on the latest G-Shock Frogman watch released last year, it comes in a unique color scheme inspired by the HMS Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier — the largest in the Royal Navy’s fleet. From the G-LIDE Series of G-SHOCK extreme sports watches comes a pair of new models that add night surfing designs to the GBX-100.

The G Steel watch range always wanted to be an everyday Casio G-Shock you could wear with casual clothing or with a suit. The Casio G-Shock GBX-100NS-1 is a timepiece that was designed to withstand even the most extreme conditions.I don’t surf, but I’d probably choose a GBX-100NS model over the GBD-200 because I prefer the style.

Tide and moon data, the current time, various measurements and more are all displayed in high resolution. Its ability to display tide graphs, moon data, high tide/low tide times and levels, and sunrise/sunset times is useful for surfers as it enables them to understand the tide situation in detail at a glance, which pairs well with the training measurement functions. You can also view your fitness data, including step count and calorie burn, and track your progress toward your fitness goals. KICKS CREW employs a strict and elaborate authentication process where each product is unboxed to allow thorough inspection of the packaging, exterior appearance, interior components, and accessories. Tide information and sunrise/sunset times for about 3,300 locations around the world can easily be set using the dedicated app.

The GBX-100NS-1 boasts a durable and sturdy design that is waterproof to 200 meters, making it suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and even scuba diving. I also don’t surf, but I’ve happily worn the GBX-100NS for the past couple of weeks and never felt like I’m either not exploiting its features or being overwhelmed by information I don’t need or understand. The Bluetooth range is modest, and it did sometimes have trouble reconnecting instantly after losing signal.
