Training Data: Up to 100 runs, up to 140 lap times per run (elapsed time, distance, pace, calories burned) While not as premium a finish as seen on the higher-end 5000 Series watches, the vertically brushed finish and machine-beveled edges on the steel bezel are a nice touch.

Tide information is available for 3,300 locations through the smartphone app. The GBX-100 also has training measurement functions like the G-SQUAD models, including distance, speed, pace, lap, and pitch. Other fitness features include a preset calorie use alarm, training log, and life log. The watch also has a soft urethane band.As mentioned above, this watch does receive notifications but it’s not intended to take the place of a full-fledged smartwatch such as Casio’s new Move watch, or an Apple Watch, for instance. It’s worth noting that the accuracy is inch-perfect when using the Mobile link function as in this case the watch is able to sync its time with your phone via Bluetooth. Battery

Meanwhile, the GBX-100’s killer MIP display makes it a worthwhile watch. I don’t think I’ll ever buy another traditional negative LCD watch. Now let’s move on to the area in which we think GBX 100 edges out GBD 200 and that’s the feature set. Features Time Functions: Digital hour / minute / seconds, date, day, stopwatch (1-sec), countdown timer, Four daily alarms with snooze, 12 / 24 hour format, World Time (29 time zones / 38 cities), hourly time signal, auto-light. Like all Casio models, the watch is powered by a Japanese quartz movement, delivering an accuracy of +/- 15 seconds per month.Even with only, basic notification coming from the phone the watch does send info to the Move App, whether iOS or Android, such as surf and training data, and you can even set goals within the App. And you can set surfing spots and other features and send them to the watch via the Move app. So the watch does communicate in a two-way nature, just not as far as phone notifications which are one-way only. From what I’ve gathered from watch forum chatter, none of the Casio step-counters are accurate. Word on the street: if you’re serious about using a fitness calculator on your wrist, get a “real” wearable like the models offered by Garmin. All the data can be viewed on the watch’s display or on your smartphone, using the Mobile link feature that pairs the two devices via Bluetooth connection. Movement Training Data (Up to 100 runs, up to 140 lap times per run) Elapsed time, distance, pace, calories burned.

Second Post: The GBX-100 has a stainless steel bezel with a hairline and top honing treatment, and the rest of the case is resin. Designed for fitness, fishing and surfing, it’s still a worthy timepiece for kooks and Barneys, thanks to the stunningly easy-to-read MIP displayA variety of display modes can be activated, although while the MODE and DISPLAY buttons on the left side of the case-control much of this functionality, somewhat counterintuitively, to activate the surfer functions you need to first press the LAP button, then you can access the impressive tide graph, moon data, high and low tide times, and sunrise/sunset times screens. Firstly, the watch wears slightly bigger since its rectangular case diameter is 50,9. Because of the larger stature, the watch is also a bit heavier, weighing 66g. Another difference worth pointing out in terms of the exterior is the material of the bezel. While Casio GBD200 is fully made from resin, this model features a stylish stainless steel bezel that makes the design a bit more sophisticated.
