It sure took some time but the first Casio G-Shock to run Wear OS is finally here. Say hello to the G-Squad Pro GSW-H1000. Bringing the iconic rugged design with up to date specs and a full smartwatch OS, the latest G-Shock watch is built to withstand the elements and track your sports activities too.
You get a round 1.2-inch dual-layer
display with a monochrome always-on panel on top of the color LCD one. The
build is nothing less than what you’d expect from a true G-Shock watch -
shock-resistant and with 20 bar water resistance so that you can go about your
extreme activities. The back of the casing is made from titanium while the
buttons and portions of the top part of the casing are aluminum.
The G-Squad Pro also brings heart rate
tracking as well as blood oxygen saturation, sleep and stress monitoring. You
get on-board GPS, a compass and barometer as well as tracking for 15 activities
and 24 indoor workout options.
The Wear OS interface includes several
iconic G-Shock watch faces as well as Casio’s custom apps for sports-specific
data like altitude measurement, tide graphs and road gradient. You’re also free
to download any watch-compatible app from the Google Play store. Battery life
is rated at up to a month if you rely on the monochrome display and tracking
sensors or about a day and a half if you’re more frequent with the color
display.
