Casio Unveils Its First G

The GW-9400 Rangeman and GWN-1000 Gulfmaster models have a Triple Sensor with a digital compass, thermometer, and barometer/altimeter. The MTG-S1000, GW-A1000, and GPW-1000 feature Triple G Resist which includes resistance to shock, centrifugal gravity, and vibration. In 2014, Casio introduced the GPS Hybrid Wave Ceptor feature in the GPW-1000 Gravitymaster that allows the watch to synchronize the time through GPS signals and also adjusts the time zone automatically. The G-SHOCK GWRB1000X-1A limited edition Gravity Master watch has a breathtaking monocoque case made entirely from carbon fiber. It has Triple G Resist construction, making it vibration, shock, and centrifugal force-resistant, which means it’s one of the toughest timepieces on the block.

But, yes, they’ll also color-coordinate with your most high-tech sneakers for mad street style. Casio tells us that they’re going for hip-hop fashion statements with these watches, but what really sets them apart is the rotary control dial in the crown position. This unique feature allows for intuitive control over whatever function is selected. These watches are pushing 80s style into modern proportions like a trunk-pumpin’ remix of DeBarge.

G-Shock is a brand of watches manufactured by Casio, which is designed to resist mechanical shocks and vibrations. They are primarily designed for sports, military and outdoor-oriented activities. G-SHOCK watches have a distinct style, and nearly all have some kind of stopwatch feature, countdown time, and light and water resistance.

The sense that this is more of a curated Wear OS product extends to the software, which is built around a dedicated Casio app that you activate with the bottom-right button on the watch. This handles features like the barometer and altimeter, as well as letting you access G-Shock Move, a fitness-focused app that you have to install on your phone alongside the base Wear OS app, which is a slightly awkward process. Once set up, though, G-Shock Move can be linked to Google Fit and supports a ton of activities — from paddleboarding to fishing — and I found it worked well for tracking my bike runs. Although the Wear OS watch market has been dominated by the likes of Fossil for many years now, Casio has quietly carved out a niche for itself as a purveyor of more rugged devices.

Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Newer high-end models in the line also feature GPS, compass or radio-controlled adjustment known as Multi-Band.

It features Multi-Band 6 Atomic Timekeeping Technology for incredible accuracy, 200 meters of water resistance, tough solar technology, and anti-scratch sapphire crystal. For extreme durability, the watch boasts Triple G Resist technology, featuring shock, centrifugal force, and vibration-resistance. And Bluetooth communication function allows this watch to connect to your smartphone to obtain precise time information via the G-SHOCK Connected app.

I do think Casio is onto something here and I’ve mostly enjoyed wearing the GSH-H1000, but I have to think there’s going to be a more broadly appealing G-Shock smartwatch somewhere down the line. Style is, of course, subjective, and I think this watch achieves what it was going for. But if you’re into the subtler, more slimline G-Shocks like the recently popular GA-2100, just know that this very much isn’t that. While it was comfortable enough on my wrist, I’m not sure I could recommend it to people with smaller frames.
