Review on ๐Ÿ•ถ๏ธ GBX100-7 G-Shock by Teresa Diers

Excellent Bluetooth gshock

Just unpacked today. This is my first G-Shock in 15 years. I don't normally do digital stuff, but it's something of a semi-smart watch. Are there vibrate notifications and that's great. The perfect feeling for me. It's just enough weight to let you know that it's fairly stiff while still feeling light on the wrist. The tape is soft and flexible. It just feels good. Also, you can't just click a button to read messages. You need to go to the notification screen and then select from there. Super easy readability, unlike many upside down Casio screens. You can see even in dim light. Its glow is magnificent. And it has an auto-on function. Since it has a MIP screen, more information can be displayed. Very complex digital detailing. If you have poor vision, you may have some problems. You can adjust most settings through the app. It gets its time from the app. It's not an atomic receptor, but it's accurate with the phone's second Bluetooth sync. I tested it with atomic time and it is there. It's not sunny. Too bad, but not a breach of contract. Takes a CR2032 battery. That's a big coin. The manual claims it lasts 2 years on battery, which is surprising given the Bluetooth functionality and vibration. My biggest issue with this watch is the tide/surf function. Really how many people surf? Enough to boom sales of this model? I doubt. But it also has some good qualities. If you are fishing you may find the tide chart useful. Time from sunrise to sunset. Its fitness features are more sophisticated than most Gshocks. Has a built in accelerometer, pretty accurate. Performs step tracking by day in weekly chart and monthly chart. All of this is built into the watch and the application. Has goal achievement notifications. For โ‚ฌ160 it's worth it. And in my opinion the best Casio for the money. This watch changed my idea of square dials.
