Casio Unveils the GBD-300: A Sleek New Addition to the G-SHOCK G-SQUAD Line
Casio has announced the release of the GBD-300, a new model in the sports-oriented G-SQUAD series, part of the iconic G-SHOCK family known for its shock-resistant watches. The GBD-300 features a slim, compact profile designed for enhanced comfort, alongside useful functions for tracking running and other training activities.
Continuing the G-SHOCK Legacy
Since the first G-SHOCK’s debut in 1983, Casio has been dedicated to creating robust watches that withstand even the toughest conditions. Over the years, the brand has consistently introduced innovations in functionality, structure, and design, further enhancing G-SHOCK’s reputation for exceptional durability. The G-SQUAD line, with its sports-centric features, has been particularly popular among fitness enthusiasts.
Features and Design of the GBD-300
The new GBD-300 showcases a sleek octagonal design in a slim, compact form that fits snugly on the wrist. This shock-resistant watch is equipped with essential sports functions, including distance tracking and step counting. The slim profile is achieved through a unique shock-resistant structure that integrates the center case between two separate bezels. The back bumper bezel, designed with a bowl-shaped curvature, enhances shock resistance while minimizing contact with the back of the hand.
Additionally, the flexible covering on the underside of the watch, where the soft urethane band meets the bezel, follows wrist movements for an even more comfortable fit. The band’s contact points with the skin feature a dotted texture to prevent slipping and reduce discomfort from perspiration, ensuring ultimate comfort during wear.
Advanced Tracking and Connectivity
The GBD-300 offers precise distance measurement by utilizing an accelerometer and a proprietary algorithm to count steps accurately. The dedicated G-SHOCK MOVE app supports daily workouts by allowing users to check life logs with data on step counts, calories burned, and activity logs. This integration provides comprehensive support for maintaining and improving fitness routines.
Casio’s GBD-300 is a testament to the brand’s commitment to innovation and comfort in sports-oriented watches, combining advanced technology with the rugged durability that G-SHOCK is known for.
