G-Shock continue to widen their range of fitness watches with the latest release being from their G-LIDE series, the GBX100-8D. This model is specifically designed for sports and fitness enthusiasts, with a focus on surfers!
Design and Features
The G-Shock GBX100-8D boasts a modern and sleek design, featuring a beige silicon band and a brushed stainless steel bezel. From afar, it looks like any other sports watch. However, what sets this watch apart from the pack is it's easy access to essential tide, sunrise, and sunset information for over 3,300 locations worldwide. By simply pressing the lap button, users can quickly access this vital information and cycle through more detailed data about their chosen location.
Users can make use of the training function where they can track elapsed time, distance, pace and calories burned. This data can be logged and stored on the watch, showing the most recent 100 training sessions.
Daily and monthly step data is also available, a feature many of us would use and appreciate in everyday wear.
Regular digital Casio features such as a stopwatch, daily alarms, timers, and a fully auto calendar are of course included in this model.
Bluetooth Connectivity
Thanks to the inclusion of Bluetooth connectivity on this model, users can utilize the dedicated G-Shock Move app, connecting the watch to your phone. This app not only allows for location customization but also enables users to adjust various settings on the watch to suit their preferences.
Display and Wearability
The watch features an inverted, and tack-sharp, MIP display. MIP displays are known for their low power consumption and excellent readability. The white digits contrasts well against the dark background to ensure users can easily read the time and interpret those tide graphs. With a case diameter of 50.9mm, the GBX100-8D falls on the larger side but remains relatively compact for a G-Shock model. Its soft silicone band and stainless steel double buckle ensure a comfortable and secure fit on the wrist.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the G-Shock GBX100-8D is a versatile digital watch that caters to the needs of sports and fitness enthusiasts, especially surfers. With its comprehensive tide and location information, durable design, and user-friendly customization options, this watch is a valuable companion for outdoor activities. Whether you're a surfer or someone who appreciates a reliable and functional timepiece, the GBX 108D offers a blend of style and functionality that is worth considering.
