About the Watch in Short. Jogging G-Shock with a fully digital display for the most convenient indication. The main feature of the model is the pedometer, which counts the number of steps taken, and in fact, is an indicator of daily activity. An advanced stopwatch with 200 lap memory and 5 interval timers for workouts of various intensities will definitely come in handy not only for lovers of running activity, but also fans of strength training. The task of displaying and presenting data is greatly simplified by Bluetooth synchronization – all information about daily activity is displayed on the screen in a convenient form, here you can configure all the functions of the watch. The clock time synchronization with the smartphone occurs automatically when pairing is successful. The colors of the case and strap are made in the style of running sneakers to complement the sporty look.

Enjoy our G-Shock GBD-800 Watch Review

The GBD-800-8ER closes the most basic needs of a modern “seated man”: counting steps using a fairly accurate three-axis accelerometer sensor [here we check the accuracy of the pedometer], monitoring daytime activity, a variety of timer programming options for tempo workouts [where strict accounting is required time]. Naturally, this is a new milestone in the development of the Casio sports watch, which the Japanese have first forgotten, and today they are trying to resume the status quo. Read Full Review →

Enjoy Japanese Unique Features in GBD-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.

    Any idea as to the springboard size for the GBD800? I replaced my watchband a year ago. The springbar rusted over the last year and broke. I need to replace but I’m not sure of the correct size.
