[Casio] Watch G-Shock G-LIDE GBX-100NS-1JF Men's Black

Product Information

It just about succeeded in terms of design, but it struggled with wearability simply because it was big, thick, and pretty heavy. A high resolution MIP LCD enhances readability, and enables display of tide graph, moon data, high tide and low tide times, tide levels, and sunrise and sunset times.

Casio’s starting to exploit its ability to integrate its Bluetooth connection and fitness tracking software in a choice of designs, colors, and shapes. Memory-in-pixel (MIP) LCD offers high-resolution display of tide graphs and moon data, while smartphone connectivity provides multifunction capability with ease of use. The GBX-100NS-1 boasts a durable and sturdy design that is waterproof to 200 meters, making it suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and even scuba diving. The Bluetooth range is modest, and it did sometimes have trouble reconnecting instantly after losing signal. The G Steel watch range always wanted to be an everyday Casio G-Shock you could wear with casual clothing or with a suit.

There are plenty of holes so it not only suits all wrists but can easily be worn over a wetsuit, too. However, I liked seeing the sunrise and sunset times, and if I happen to be at the beach the tide times may come in handy even if I wasn’t planning to ride the waves. The daily alarm reminds you about recurring events with an acoustic signal at the time you have set. The GBX-100 was first released a year ago, but the new GBX-100NS — the NS stands for Night Surfing — models are less sporty looking and are therefore more versatile.

The watch also features solar charging, so you can recharge it using natural sunlight, which helps to conserve battery life. It uses a Memory in Pixel Screen (MIPS) LCD, which is crisp and really bright, and I’ve had no problem reading it in sunlight or lowlight. It is hard (non-bendable and non-crackable), color stable, antiallergic (does not react with body fluids and therefore no metal components are not released into the skin and flesh) and has anticorrosive surface (the surface is resistant to oxidation and corrosion.Once you’ve set preferences, the world time, daily targets, and the tide graph, chances are you’ll leave the app alone, so its niggles don’t get frustrating.
