[G-Shock Guide] Top 10 G-Shock-s with Bluetooth

The G-Shock with Bluetooth offers you new functionality. Moreover, Casio has its own, completely unique, vision of “intelligence”. The watch continues to perform its basic functions, but at the same time working with them is much more convenient. Download a separate application and the watch screen of the gadget has already moved to your smartphone. At this moment, the watch still produces a time correction, which is another smart solution for perfect accuracy. We would divide this selection into two types: the capabilities of sports watches and the capabilities of premium models. If the first includes cool settings for interval training and running, then for the second, it is simply important to use the convenient functions of world time, an alarm clock. In any case, this is a completely new world of interaction with the seemingly same hours.

#5 G-Shock GR-B100

Price ≈ 300$

Representative of the latest generation G-Shock Gravitymaster with Bluetooth and route logging. Thanks to the large hands and the improved STN electronic panel, the information on the dial is read even in poor visibility conditions. The design of the digital window resembles a glass cockpit, which provides clear visibility around the aircraft. 6 separate buttons are responsible for controlling the watch’s functions, but don’t worry about the complexity of the settings – the Bluetooth connection to the smartphone removes all issues, and you can now control the watch directly from the smartphone’s screen. During the flight, the watch records the intermediate points of the route, which can then be viewed in the form of a map in the G-Shock Connect application. The modified alarm timer is set to a specific date, month and even year, and 30 minutes before the event occurs, a countdown is activated with the remaining time displayed on the display. The GR-B100 has a solar battery that does not require replacement and is charged by sunlight and daylight.

#6 G-Shock GST-B200

Price ≈ 300 $

A fresh representative of the G-Steel line is the steel G-Shock with the new protective structure of the Carbon Core Guard. The inner part of the case, which is responsible for protecting the module from negative influences, is made of polyurethane reinforced with carbon fiber, making the case stronger and lighter. The dimensions are reduced compared to the GST-W300 – 53.3 x 49.2 x 14.5 mm versus 55.9 x 49.3 x 15.3 mm. All external parts of the GST-B100 [bezel, buttons, screws, back cover] are made of stainless steel. The digital display is made using STN technology, which gives a larger viewing angle and enhanced image clarity. Designers redesigned the look of the buttons – now they look more stylish and modern. Solar power and Bluetooth synchronization are responsible for the basic functionality of the model, and its basic capabilities are complemented by a stopwatch, timer, alarm clock and world clock.

#8 G-Shock GG-B100

Price ≈ 300$

The latest representative of the dirt-resistant direction of the G-Shock Mudmaster. The special design of the case and buttons does not allow dust, dirt and other small particles to get inside the watch, and the protective concept of Carbon Core Guard takes the shock resistance of the case to a whole new level, thanks to the presence of carbon parts, which also make the watch easier. Bezel is a “sandwich” of three layers – polyurethane, carbon, polyurethane. Buttons no longer need external protection, so they look more aesthetically pleasing and modern. The back cover consists of two parts – fiberglass and steel for greater reliability during mechanical stress. The quad-sensor [barometer / altimeter, thermometer, digital compass and pedometer] will become a reliable assistant even in the most severe environmental conditions. Thanks to Bluetooth synchronization, you can not only adjust the time in automatic mode and configure the clock functions, but also record the motion path along with the steps taken, record the points passed on the map in the G-Shock Connected application and calculate the calories burned taking into account the steps taken and the height, which has been overcome. The basic features remained unchanged – world time for 300 cities [in synchronization mode], 24-hour stopwatch, timer, alarms, calendar.

#10 G-Shock GWR-B1000

Price ≈ 800$

The flagship model from the Gravitymaster line for pilots. The first ever G-Shock with a completely one-piece “monocoque” body made of carbon fiber. The case back, in the usual sense, is absent – the case is monolithic, and due to this, greater impact resistance and reliability of the case are achieved. A completely new protective concept of the case – Carbon Core Guard is the presence of a special carbon body part that surrounds the watch module and protects them from any mechanical stress. Thanks to this, the GWR-B1000 is not only stronger than its counterparts, but also much lighter due to the use of carbon. Laminated carbon bezel consists of 52 separate layers, the button mechanism is isolated from the environment. The functionality of the series is also elite – solar power, multiband time synchronization, “pairing” with a smartphone via Bluetooth protocol [for auto-adjusting time and clock settings], 24-hour stopwatch with Fly Back function [quick zeroing], timer, one alarm clock, world time , well, of course, the proprietary “aviator” protection Triple G Resist [shock, centrifugal force and vibration]. Tough Movement [hard turn of the hands and their correction] and Smart Access [smart crown].
