Since in 1983 Casio surprised the public with its first heavy-duty watch, the brand has not stopped innovating, surprising lovers of extreme sports and outdoor adventures. But if there is something that the range was missing, it was an intelligent model, now we can finally say that that day has arrived: this is the new G-SQUAD PRO GSW-H1000.
A tough and smart watch
This is not the first watch with Casio's Wear OS, however, it is the first model with Google's operating system that belongs to the G-Shock family. And this means that we will enjoy a rather striking watch, since its body offers a design specially designed for resist shock and to inclement weather.
That is basically the main peculiarity of these models, since they are intended for users who practice outdoor sports and all kinds of adventures. So, what better than to also set up an intelligent platform with which to offer even more?
With that idea Casio has decided to include Wear OS as an operating system, thus being able to enjoy the Google Assistant, call management, maps, Google Fit and the possibility of downloading more applications through the Play Store.
Functions for almost everything
This GSW-H1000 has Integrated GPS, so you will not need to be linked to your phone to complete the route of your walks. Walks, by the way, that will not be limited to races or routes on foot, since it will also include rowing activities such as kayaking, canoeing, surfing and paddle surfing.
In total, it will control a total of 15 activities and 24 indoor exercises, accompanying the data as it could not be otherwise from a heart rate sensor integrated in the lower part. This lower part of the watch has a titanium cover, which demonstrates the excellent materials with which it is built.
A double screen to save battery
Something quite striking about this watch is that it has a double screen with which to take care of energy consumption. We know very well that the screens of smartwatches are the main Achilles heel due to high energy consumption, so Casio has devised a double layer screen that places a monochrome LCD about him color LCD to display current and past times at a glance.
Thus, we will not need to turn on the color screen to simply know what time it is, leaving it exclusively for intelligent functions. Unfortunately, the manufacturer has not gone into details of the autonomy of the battery, so we will have to wait for more information about it.
How much does it cost?
At the moment the official price of this watch is unknown, so if you already saw yourself taking kayak rides enjoying nature without fear of breaking your smart watch, you better keep waiting a little longer until the manufacturer gets back to you. speak about it. Something tells us that it won't be a particularly cheap watch, but we'll see how things end.
