About the Watch in short. Introducing new compact G-SHOCK model that is great choice for women who prefer mannish G-SHOCK styling.
These models add a new selection of colors to the G-SQUAD lineup of sports watches that make daily training more fun and effective. The size of the GMD-B800 case is approximately 3 mm smaller than the case of the popular G-SHOCK GBA-800, which makes it the perfect choice for those with smaller wrists and those who prefer a more compact watch.
The two summer nuance colors of the GMD-B800 model go well with a wide range of fashion items. A back protector cusions impact, while block coloring and new materials create designs with plenty of visual impact.

Band with superior wearability. The 15-hole band is designed to enable fine adjustments. The case is equipped with a special case back protector, to assure a comfortable fit.
STEP TRACKER. A built-in 3-axis acceleration sensor begins counting steps the moment you start to walk.
A step number level graph at 6 o’clock shows the current step number and the number 1 hour earlier,
and a status indicator window in the upper right area of the dial displays the target achievement rate.
This data can help motivate you to increase your step count.
[App] Step Count Measurement Data Transfer. Measurement data can be transferred for use to a dedicated app. In addition to manual transfers, the app conducts automatic transfers four times a day.
Besides recording daily step counts and calorie consumption, the app displays a step count graph showing step counts, calories and exercise intensity (5 levels) for each day, week and month.
When activated by the smartphone, the step count is displayed graphically on a map every 30 minutes.
TIMER. A multi-timer function useful for interval workouts can be set for up to five different times.
The time remaining on the timer (%) is indicated in the status indicator window to the upper right on the dial.
Auto Repeat (maximum 20 times) and Auto Start are available along with an announcement notice function.
[App] Create Timer Menu. Up to 20 sets of 5 timers can be set up on the dedicated app. This makes it easy to create a menu of workouts and intervals as sets of workouts and break times that repeat within a certain period. You can save the menus you create under individual titles. You can then call them up instantly according to the day of the workout and transmit the settings to the watch.
STOPWATCH. A 1/100-second stopwatch capable of storing up to 200 lap-time memories is installed. Its ability to set up to 10 target times is useful for confirming your pace.
[App] Stopwatch Measurement Data Transfer. A special app is available for setting target times. Stopwatch measurement data can be transferred, moreover, with measurement/target time differences and the best/worst/average times displayed together on the app. The results can be managed as log memory data and fed back into daily workouts.
