Casio today announced GSW-H1000, the first G-SHOCK Smartwatch with Wear OS by Google. Like other G-SHOCK watches, this new smartwatch comes with shock resistance and 200-meter water resistance. It comes with an optical sensor to measure heart rate, compass, altitude/air pressure sensor, accelerometer, gyrometer, GPS functionality and more.
Other highlights of GSW-H1000:
- The case back, made of titanium, ensures excellent corrosion resistance and has a titanium carbide finish to provide enhanced abrasion resistance.
- The Casio original app built into the watch provides support for 15 activities and 24 indoor workout options.
- Various logs useful for training — from activity history and analysis to progress reports and more — are easy to track thanks to the G-SHOCK MOVE smartphone app’s data management features
- The watch’s dual-layer display combines a monochrome, always-on LCD for time display and a color LCD for high-definition display of maps, sensor data and more. The three-tier display layout also enables customization, with hundreds of different data display possibilities and the option of analog display as well.
