G-Shock, the ultimate tough watch from the house of Casio, announces the launch of the G-Squad GBD-H1000 watch which is fully loaded with features making it the most sought-after smartwatch. Equipped with five-sensor functions, GPS functionality, vibration notification, solar and USB charging and Bluetooth connectivity, the new watch combines toughness for workouts and is an ideal timepiece for fitness enthusiasts. The watch is being exclusively launched in India today as a part of Amazon Prime day, priced at INR 39,995.
The five-sensor functions include an optical sensor that can measure heart rate by detecting the blood flow under the skin, a triple sensor that measures altitude/barometric pressure, compass bearing, and temperature, and an acceleration sensor that measures step count and distance traveled.
By analyzing the measured data, the watch can display an indicator of cardiorespiratory capacity. The user can manage measurement data history such as calories burned and logged travel by connecting the watch with a dedicated app on a smartphone.
The exterior delivers a good fit, practicality and features a high-definition memory-in-pixel (MIP) LCD with high-contrast. A bezel configuration that is easy to operate even without looking at the buttons, large non-slip buttons, a curved back cover that carefully considers the back of the hand, and a soft urethane band, gives the new watch improved operability and fit. In addition to USB charging, the watch offers solar charging for daily use such as the vibrating notification function. This G-Shock is well equipped for everyday health monitoring and training.
Commenting on the launch, Kulbhushan Seth, VP, Casio India, said, “G-Shock has always been known for innovations & toughness. The new watch pushes the limits further with its best in class offerings supporting efficient workouts. It has been built on the ethos of strength, innovation & functionality required by hardcode outdoor professionals. The new launch further augments the robustness of the brand and will expand the cult of G-Shock watches amongst hardcore fitness lovers, long distance runners, outdoor adventure enthusiasts, gym freaks and the already existing G-Shock fans.”
