We’re excited to share latest rumors for upcoming new products – the new G-SQUAD [for runners] GBD-H2000 flagship has been leaked to the web. Apparently, it will be an upgraded version of the GBD-H1000 series, but the “core” functionality will remain the same, including small design changes. We will see the series on sale not earlier than March-April of this year.

The leaked photos are most likely renders [not “live”], but they clearly show what the GBD-H2000 will look like. What catches the eye is the case design, which has become even more “angular”. Maybe it was just our imagination, but the case has become smaller, but the functional space for the digital display has increased. In any case, the 2000s look prettier and more modern than its predecessor.

The Japanese emphasize the same optical heart rate sensor, which takes training with the watch to a new level. Based on heart rate data, you can monitor your body condition, adjust training intensity, calculate oxygen consumption, etc. We noticed the “6 Sensor” label on the strap, and all would be well, but…the GBD-H1000 had five sensors [heart rate, pedometer, barometer, thermometer, compass]. Most likely, the Japanese have added one more sensor, which they are keeping in secret for now. We have several versions about this – a gyroscope, a pulse oximeter [shows blood oxygen saturation], a BIA sensor [determines the percentage of body fat], a skin conductivity sensor. The last two are unlikely, but we can think it over.

Training functionality will be the same as the GBD-H1000 – activity monitor, training plans, exercise intensity, daily/monthly summary, vibration function for alerts, Bluetooth-synchronization with your smartphone, GPS for time correction, distance measurement and route point display on the map.

We think the power system will remain the same – solar power to run the watch in a “traditional” mode and a separate adapter for charging from power [if the heart rate monitor and GPS tracker are used frequently].

GBD-H2000 will have four colors initially – black, black with red inserts, black with a yellow strap, and navy blue.

That’s all the information we know so far. We are waiting for the spring and keep an eye on it.

Year of first release: 2023
The most distinctive specs:
— 200-meter water resistance
(good for swimming but not for deep diving)
— Heart rate monitor (Optical sensors on case back of watch LED light, detect the blood flow under the skin, and measure heart rate)
— Step Count (3-axis accelerometer detects body movements and measures step count and distance travelled. Also interpolates distance measurements in environments where GPS measurement is unavailable)
— CASIO Watches App (Increase motivation by managing measurement data and training history with the app, which automatically creates training plans tailored to set targets)
— Mobile link (Wireless linking using Bluetooth(R)) (for time sync with your phone data)
— Training Function (Display of distance, speed, pace, and other calculated values based on accelerometer, auto/manual lap times, Auto Pause, target alert setting (time, calories burned) on/off, training display customization (elapsed time, distance, pace, lap time, lap distance, lap pace, average pace, speed, average speed, calories burned))
Training and sleep analysis (The watch displays current performance and physical condition, based on analysis of various data measured by the watch, in an easy-to-understand format)
Gyroscope sensor (detects body movements)
— Digital compass (measures and displays direction as one of 16 points)
— Thermometer (can measure and display the outside temperature in a range from -10 C to 60 C)
Barometer (measures the air pressures and displays tendencies in the weather)
Altimeter (The electronic mechanism “estimates” the altitude based on the air pressure)
Blood oxygen level measurement (The optical heart rate sensor tracks the level of oxygen taken into the blood. This data can be used to manage daily health and adjust exercise load.)
GPS Functionality (Acquires data of current location from GPS satellite, measures distance travelled, speed, pace, and other data. In addition to GPS, the watch acquires data from GLONASS and Michibiki (QZSS) satellite systems)
Display of Route Travelled (Link to a smartphone for map display of movement track on an app)
Notification Mode (Displays Bluetooth®-connected smartphone call, email, and SNS message receipt notifications for ease of checking even while exercising)
Tough Solar (CASIO’s original solar-charging system converts not only sunlight but also light from fluorescent lamps and other sources into power)
USB Charging (After about 2.5 hours of charging, training features can be used continuously for up to 14 hours)
Biomass plastics in the case and band(the environmentally friendly biomass plastics are produced using materials derived from castor seeds and corn, as well as other raw materials)
Sunrise, sunset time display (Sunrise time and sunset time for specific date, daylight pointers. Good if you want to know to stop after durable hiking or smth of the kind)
Moon data (moon age of the specific date)
Smart alarm (The smart alarm uses the watch’s accelerometer and heart rate sensor to estimate your sleep state and notify you by sound or vibration when your sleep is light during a specified period.)

    I hope it will have full workout tracking functionality. Not only running.
