The latest fitness models are equipped with a step tracker, accelerometer, and Bluetooth® Smartphone Connectivity. By connecting to the smartphone’s GPS via the G-SHOCK MOVE app, users can plan and track their workout, as the GBD200 measures running distance, speed, pace, and calorie consumption, providing the ideal support for daily workouts. In addition to running pace measurements calculated based on distance and time, the new model features an Auto lap feature, interval timers, a front button LED light with Auto feature for easy illumination during night training, and access to LifeLog and activity history data on the app.

About G-SHOCK
CASIO’s shock-resistant G-SHOCK watch is synonymous with toughness, born from the developer Mr. Ibe’s dream of ‘creating a watch that never breaks’. Over 200 handmade samples were created and tested to destruction until finally in 1983 the first, now iconic G-SHOCK hit the streets of Japan and began to establish itself as ‘the toughest watch of all time’. Each watch encompasses the 7 elements; electric shock resistance, gravity resistance, low temperature resistance, vibration resistance, water resistance, shock resistance and toughness. The watch is packed with Casio innovations and technologies to prevent it from suffering direct shock; this includes internal components protected with urethane and suspended timekeeping modules inside the watch structure. Since its launch, G-SHOCK has continued to evolve, continuing to support on Mr. Ibe’s mantra “never, never give up.” www.gshock.com
