Casio has just announced its next smartwatch for
true adventurers – the limited-edition WSD-F20SC. The new Casio WSD-F20SC is a more expensive version
of the regular WSD-F20 smartwatch that was officially introduced one year ago.
Unlike the standard model, the limited-edition edition WSD-F20SC will not be
available in large quantities.
According to Casio, only 700 units will be available
for purchase in late June when the smartwatch will be released. The wearable
device hasn't been priced yet, but it will cost way more than the regular
version that's on sale for around US$ 500.
The smartwatch sports a 1.32-inch dual layer
touchscreen featuring sapphire crystal. It's got ion-plated buttons on the
side, which are IP-treated for enhanced wear resistance, as well as a field
composite band that combines metal-reinforced urethane H-links with fine-resin
connecting pieces. Also, the case back is made of stainless-steel.
Casio WSD-F20SC features MIL-STD-810G certification,
which makes it water resistant (up to 50 meters). It includes GPS, Bluetooth
and Wi-Fi connectivity options, as well as Android Wear 2.0 (or Wear OS by
Google). The limited-edition smartwatch is fully compatible
with Android and iOS devices, but it requires Android 4.3 or later, and iOS 9.0
or newer.
