The first “musical” G-Shock-s with the ability to connect to a smartphone via Bluetooth technology. With the dedicated G-Mix App installed on your phone, you can control music playback at the touch of a button on your watch, use the crown to search for a song title, or assign specific melodies to each of the GBA-400’s buttons. The case is designed in a youthful style with trendy colors and a special “dial” at 9 o’clock, similar to a circular saw and showing the state of music playback control. Bluetooth allows you to control the watch settings directly from your phone, without having to read the instructions for using the buttons. You can configure the flashing signal function – the backlight will flash when the alarm sounds, the hourly alert and the timer ends. The GBA-400 has a very capacious stopwatch with a solid measurement range – up to 1000 hours. When reading information from electronic windows, you can shift the arrows to the neutral position using the Hands Shift function.
