About the Watch in Short. Cross-country G-Shock with a full range of opportunities for sports and a bias on a female audience. The female “essence” of the series is manifested in reduced dimensions compared to the GBA-800 [50.7 × 45.2 × 15.5 mm versus 54.1 × 48.6 × 15.5] and a dial with a focus on pink gold. The functional pride of the model is a three-axis pedometer sensor with the ability to track the level of daily activity. The watch is connected to the smartphone via Bluetooth, thereby simplifying the process of training and tracking sports performance. The advanced timer allows you to create up to 20 different combinations of 5 timers in each for interval training of any complexity. The stopwatch can store up to 200 laps and up to 10 indicators of the target lap time. Bright backlighting, a comfortable strap with a secure fit and running functionality – this watch is designed for active girls who support a sporty and healthy lifestyle.

Enjoy Japanese Unique Features in GBA-800!
*some images are about G-Shock 5000/5600 cases, but the technology, approaches, concepts and philosophy remains the same for the whole G-Shock Model Range
Hollow case structure. Based on a realization that “shocks are not transmitted inside a bouncing rubber ball,” the structure was designed to let the module float inside the case, relieving shocks transmitted from outside. Today, the module’s shock resistance is realized through further technical innovations. But the revolutionary tough structure that gave G-SHOCK its origin began here.
All-directional covering. If the watch is dropped, the protruding bezel fully enclosing it absorbs the shock, protecting the buttons directly connected to the module and alleviating shocks from all directions. The bezel also guards the surface of the crystal. The band is curved stiffly at the point of connection with the case, moreover, enabling it to serve as a shock absorber and prevent direct shocks to the back of the case.
Protective cushioning of key parts. The crystal oscillator and other critical parts inside the module are guarded individually by cushioning material. Any strong shock to the watch causes immediate distortion of the cushioning inside the module, preventing contact failure and malfunction.
Japan Quality. Constructed with genuine quality, CASIO products provide truly practicable applications in which functionality and beauty combine. The leading-edge LSI technologies and skilled craftsmanship that give life to CASIO watches exemplify the quality Japan boasts in the world marketplace.
For CASIO, “faith in manufacturing” refers to an inexorable advancement of digital technologies and an uncompromising commitment to fine craftsmanship. This faith engenders unparalleled performance that not only elevates CASIO watches as close as possible to perfection, but that actually changes their wearers’ lifestyles.
G-Shock Connected App. This is the basic application for connecting and communicating with a Bluetooth(R) v4.0 enabled CASIO watch.
Pairing your watch with a smartphone enables use of a variety of different Mobile Link functions that greatly enhance the smartphone experience.
The G-SHOCK Connected app also simplifies certain watch operations by letting you perform them on your phone screen.
