In automatic mode , time information is downloaded once a day. Data analysed by the watch is clearly displayed and managed in the app. Detect changes in fitness level and training status and use them for training results and future strategy. I generally don’t get good results from wrist based heart rate and this one is no different. When I am running easy it will often pick up my running stride instead of my HR and read super high. I found I needed to wear it ridiculously tight to have any chance at an accurate reading.
Since data from the key sensors influence other features in the watch – namely VO2 max estimation, calories burned and training status – the lack of accuracy here really skews the overall experience. The GBDH1000 really shines when combined with G-SHOCK’s Move app, and together they put a wealth of fitness data at your fingertips. The app’s widget-style layout is easy to customize to your preferences, and it draws on the watch’s powerful sensors to generate detailed performance analytics, like heart rate zones and calories burned. For runners, color-coded maps show exactly where you kicked up the intensity (and where you slacked off—these sensors don’t lie). Optical sensors on the back of the watch flash LED light, detect the blood flow under the skin, and measure heart rate. Delivers shock resistant and 200-meter water resistance even with a built-in optical sensor that measures heart rate at the wrist.
Although it’s waterproof to 200 metres, the GBD-H1000 will only track full stats for running activity – there’s no swimming or multi-sport mode. As I mentioned already, the Casio G-Shock GBD-H1000 offers a lot of sensors and features that would satisfy many runners, at least on paper. We have an optical heart rate sensor, 3-axis accelerometer, GPS, magnetic sensor , pressure sensor and thermo sensor . The Casio G-Shock GBD-H1000 tries to bridge the gap between fashion and running watches and gets some of the steps right.
I don’t think this one is classified as Tough Solar, but yes, solar power. Firstbeat Technologies added a GBD-H1000 page with more information about its training features at firstbeat.com. Renowned G-SHOCK toughness along with new outdoor functions for a new selection of G-SQUAD timepieces. Wireless function link with mobile phones that support Bluetooth®. Over three runs of 4-5km, with the Casio G-Shock GBD-H1000 on one wrist and the Garmin Forerunner 245 on the other, the Casio was between 0.22 and 0.08km behind. Having painstakingly retraced the final route on my final run through Mapometer, I can confirm that it was 4.99km – a distance measured as 5km by the Garmin but 4.78km by the Casio.
No, actually it ‘s an energy-saving and easy-to-read MIP display which is operated by using the buttons or the app. This display technique supports especially the long battery life. Once you receive the GPS signal, it measures accurately on every single second. The data analysed by the watch is clearly displayed and managed in the app.
The watch is jam-packed with sensors but the heart rate sensor is not accurate enough to be used for serious running training. In the regular watch mode g shock watch calories are calculated in relation to the steps being tracked. During training mode calories burned are calculated according to heart rate monitored.
