This listing is curated by me, Alex, the casiofanmag devoted reader and contributor (and fan of CASIO watches since 2009). I monitor all CASIO news worldwide daily and update all listings on this site if needed. If you find something outdated, please push me here in the comments section or via my email.
“Memory In Pixel” (MIP) is a type of display technology that is commonly used in the watch industry. MIP displays are popular due to their low-power consumption and reflective display technology, which is similar to electronic paper (e-ink) displays.
Since the year 2020, Casio has been making extensive use of MIP (Memory In Pixel) displays in their watches. The GPR-B1000 was the first Casio MIP watch to be introduced back in 2018. It appears that Casio took some time to carefully consider how to best utilize this technology, resulting in an impressive implementation that we can now see.
MIP Display in G-SHOCKs: PROs& CONSs
PROs
โ Make G-SHOCKs more functional *you can get notifications and use advanced sports features or so
โ Extremely power-efficient
โ Good visibility in direct sunlight
โ Good Contrast and Sharpness
โ Provides a great variability of watch displays *different designs, adjustable data
โ Can be used in classic square G-SHOCKs case
โ Looks more modern
โ Displays a lot of different data on one screen at once
CONs
โ Slower Refresh Rates *less smooth animations or transitions
โ G-SHOCKs become overloaded with features *in case you want simplicity
โ Too complicated software in comparison with traditional G-SHOCKs *you need to update it from time to time. There may be some errors
โ No Solar Powered simple G-SHOCKs with MIP Display (only as “solar assisted” option in advanced models)

What we like in GPR-H1000 *by casiofanmag editors with 10+ years of experience writing about CASIO watches |
---|
Amazing G-SHOCK Look in a Tough Case with Multi-Sports Features (differs significantly from Polar, Garmin, and alike) |
The most advanced Survival Kit to be used in a G-SHOCK |
Excellent readability (very distinct numbers even in the shadow) |
In-built Heart Rate Sensor (makes the watch more useful for sports activities, cardio load status monitoring, and calories consumption) |
In-built GPS (used for distance, speed, pace, and other similar measurements) |
It can be used for running, swimming, and similar sports (it has dedicated modes for different sports) |
Solar-assisted charging (suitable for the timekeeping mode; you shouldn’t worry about battery replacement while using it as a traditional watch) |
Interval Timer (you can set different intervals, repeat them, and use them for any activity). Good for functional workouts |
Step Count Measurement (via energy-efficient 3-axis acceleration sensor). You can monitor your daily/weekly/monthly/6-month activity status by changing the screens in the watch. Step reminder is also useful |
Moon data (moon age of the specific data, moon phase) |
Tide Graph (shows the ebb and flow of the tide) |
Sunrise sunset time display (good for planning your walking activities) |
Vibrator feature for notifications |
Notification function (incoming calls, incoming e-mails, new social media posts, calendar notifications, reminders) |

Smartphone Link/App Connectivity Features (for time sync and watch adjustments) |
Polar Software for better measurement opportunities (Running Index, Cardio Load Status, Energy Used, Breathing Exercise, Nightly Recharge) |
Hourly Time Signal (a simple CASIO feature, but we like it. P.S. You need to update your watch software for this feature to appear. With outdated software, the watch doesn’t have it) |
What we don’t like in GPR-H1000 *by casiofanmag editors with 10+ years of experience writing about CASIO watches |
---|
Solar-assisted charging (enough for timekeeping mode, but not enough for sports modes). |
Thick (because of the Heart Sensor bulkiness: 20.3 mm VS traditional 13.4 mm in DW-5600) |
Raw CASIO software (can bug at times, but they are improving it) |
No import to third-party apps like Strava (can be fixed with a new software update) |
It can take a long time (1min or so) to get the GPS signal (can be fixed with a new software update) |
It still requires additional cable charging (which is relevant to all sports watches) |
MIP display functions have fewer dynamics in comparison with traditional TN-LCD or STN-LCD (slower refresh rates, no milliseconds) |
It doesn’t support chest heart rate sensor for more accurate measurement |
It is not so that independent, autonomous like previous Rangeman watches (but more functional) |
Has almost the same features as in GBD-H2000 |

What we like in GBD-H1000 *by casiofanmag editors with 10+ years of experience writing about CASIO watches |
---|
Amazing G-SHOCK Look in a sporty watch (differs significantly from Polar, Garmin, and alike) |
Excellent readability (very distinct numbers even in the shadow) |
In-built Heart Rate Sensor (makes the watch more useful for sports activities, cardio load status monitoring, and calorie consumption) |
Phone GPS can be used for critical Running measurements and similar sports activities (sync your watch via Bluetooth with a dedicated CASIO app and may monitor distance, speed, pace, and other calculated values) |
Power-efficient accelerometer (apart from GPS, you can use another way, less accurate but more power-efficient, of tracking your steps, distance, pace, speed, etc.) |
Timer for interval measurement (up to five-time settings) with auto-repeat feature (suitable for functional workouts and similar sports) |
Vibrator feature for notifications |
Step Count Measurement (via energy-efficient 3-axis acceleration sensor). You can monitor your daily/weekly/monthly/6-month activity status by changing the screens in the watch. |
Push-friendly buttons (very convenient to use them) |
Remarkable MIP screen adjustments (you can choose different screens with different data to be used as default) |
Notification function (smartphone call, email, and SMS receipt notifications for ease of checking even while exercising.) |
Super Illuminator Light (a high-brightness LED that automatically lights up in the dark when the wearer’s arm is tilted) |
Calories consumption monitoring |
Altimeter/Barometer, Compass, Thermometer |
Ready running training plans available |
Support Strava (and other apps) sync |
Smartphone Link/App Connectivity Features (for time sync and watch adjustments) |
What we don’t like in GBD-H1000 *by casiofanmag editors with 10+ years of experience writing about CASIO watches |
---|
Solar-assisted charging (enough for timekeeping mode, but not enough for sports modes) |
Thick (because of the Heart Sensor bulkiness: 20.4 mm VS traditional 13.4 mm in DW5600) |
Raw CASIO software (can bug at times, but they are improving it) |
No hourly signal (a simple feature, but we haven’t found it) |
It doesn’t support chest heart rate sensor for more accurate measurement |
MIP display functions have fewer dynamics in comparison with traditional TN-LCD or STN-LCD (slower refresh rates, no milliseconds) |
It still requires additional cable charging (which is relevant to all sports watches) |
It looks like the G-SHOCK MOVE APP will be outdated soon |
