Casio G-Shock GBD-H1000 review: Rugged watch with smart features, utility
Casio’s G-Shock has maintained its niche fan base of people that prefer rugged look and study design. So far, the G-Shock line-up has been restricted to non-smart watches despite the growing clutter of smartwatches but 2020 seems to be the year of the unusual. Known for making watches for adventurers, Casio in August launched the G-Shock GBD-H1000. This smartwatch is one-of-its-kind as it carries forward Casio’s legacy of making rugged watches but with smart features this time. It has built-in GPS for location services, multiple sensors, and solar charging on top of regular USB charging. Besides, it features an optical heart rate sensor. Being a G-Shock, it goes without saying that the watch is both shock and water resistance.
Priced
at Rs 39,995, the Casio G-Shock GBD-H1000 brings the modern day features in a
conventional G-Shock form factor. Business Standard took the smartwatch out
for a spin to test its worth. Here is the review:
Build and design
The G-shock GBD-H1000 has a thick strap, pop
colours, large display bezel, and a familiar display. The dial has a thick case
made of resin and stainless steel.
