Bästa g shock jag haft. Grymt med notiser och annat. Snygg och briljant display.

The GBD-200 series features a new 'Memory in Pixel' negative display which is truly amazing. It stays visible under extreme angles and doesn't produce shadows. This feature alone might be a reason to buy it if the price is right. I also like the Windows style menu's that you can scroll trough when doing the watch set-up. It deviates from the standard Casio set-up, but it is very intuitive. This watch is marketed by Casio as a sports watch. It has an automatic step counter that resets at midnight every day. So far so good. Now for the bad news: To get the maximum out of the watch, it is supported by bluetooth to connect it with your mobile phone. You are required to install two Casio apps, one generic Casio Watches app and a workout app. These apps make you to scroll through 25 pages of legal and privacy related text. In short: you sign away all your rights. You are required to share your location, to have an account with Casio and register your watch with Casio. If you don't, the bluetooth function is useless. You always need to do manual time adjustments without bluetooth. This is not made clear before purchase and the instruction manual doesn't say anything about pairing the watch with you phone. Nothing. Judging by the amount of Youtube videos on this topic, there seems to be a lot of difficulty in getting the watch paired with the phone. I wasn't able to do it and didn't get a reply on my support request. And without Tough Solar the battery will drain fast as well. So, that explains my 2 star rating for this watch.

The color scheme I really like - Of course, this is not a full blown smartwatch but does the job for what I purchased it for - I can live with the 2 yr battery life - Very reliable BT comms and notifications - However, do not expect expansive reading of incoming messages etc...It is not really a smartwatch after all. But at least I can see at a glance what kind of message came in when having all on silent and see wether I have to pull out my phone or not - For me personally the vibration alarm/notification was most important - Not the strongest vibration and a tad short - However, most of the time I can sense (depending how tight you fit it on the wrist) the incoming vibration notification - And of course, the MIP display is just fantastic under virtually all light conditions - Casio opted for a LED backlight, which I consider a bit dim. However, they did that to conserve battery power. If they used an EL backlight for sure the battery time would have been way shorter. But even then I would not mind changing the battery 1x per year. I personally do not care for step tracking etc.... And for me also important is the ability to show my local time and another time zone permanently incl. still read out of the current date. Too bad CASIO sticks to only one format for the date, which is yy/mm/dd. No option for european format. I also appreciate the larger digits vs my previous 5600 series G-Shock. Getting older and wearing eye wear in the night without it I can at least read the large digits (if the set to show local time only). Anyway, I like this model a lot.

Bonne montre

Adoro este relógio, o ecrã é super! A Casio devia de colocar este ecrã em todos os relógios digitais, super legível em ambientes muito luminosos!
