🕶️ GBX100-7 G-Shock Review

The pedometer is inaccurate to say the least. I wore my Garmin Vivo Active on the same wrist all day and took about 25% more steps with the G-Shock. Garmin is accurate and I have calibrated it so I know it is correct. I really like the look and profile of the G-Shock, but if you're buying it for counting steps, it's not worth the money.

I don't sync my watch with my phone. You can definitely just download tide locations and then turn off Bluetooth. I haven't had to reset the tide function since I

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.
