What we like in GST-B300 *comments by experts with 10 years experience in writing about Casio watches
— G-SHOCK Connected App
(you may manage all watch settings through your phone)
— Tough Solar (CASIO’s original solar-charging system converts not only sunlight but also light from fluorescent lamps and other sources into power)
— Mobile link (Wireless linking using Bluetooth(R)) (for time sync with your phone data)
— 200-meter water resistance (good for swimming but not for deep diving)
Carbon Core Guard Structure (protects the module with a carbon case. Highly durable carbon fiber-reinforced resin is added not only to the center case, but also to the front and side button guards, providing even stronger resistance to shocks from above or below, or from any side)
The battery indicator at the 6 o’clock position (designed to evoke a brake disk, shows the remaining battery power by an arrow pointer and a curved red bar, providing visually interesting ways to check the battery)
