Casio America has introduced the G-SHOCK GBD-300 smartwatch, a new addition to the G-SQUAD line, tailored for tracking distance, pace, steps, and calories during marathons and workouts. With a focus on enhanced comfort and durability, this smartwatch promises to elevate the fitness tracking experience for athletes and fitness enthusiasts alike.

SLIMMER, MORE COMPACT DESIGN. The GBD-300 sports a slimmer, more compact body design compared to traditional G-SHOCK models, ensuring a better fit and increased comfort. The textured band prevents sticking due to sweat, while providing a secure, non-slip fit, crucial for intense workout sessions.

Despite its compact size, the watch remains robust, boasting a water resistance of up to 20 bar. The dual bezel design offers additional protection to the main module, safeguarding it against shocks that could damage ordinary watches.

HIGH-CONTRAST DISPLAY AND ESSENTIAL FEATURES. Equipped with a high-contrast monochrome LCD display, the GBD-300 ensures excellent visibility of time, date, and alarms even in bright daylight. The watch features 4 alarms, a countdown timer, a stopwatch, and 38 world times, making it a versatile tool for global travelers and athletes. The memory-in-pixel (MIP) LCD, protected by a raised bezel, can be illuminated automatically by the Super Illuminator LED light with a simple tilt of the wrist.

COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH TRACKING

The G-SHOCK GBD-300 excels in health tracking, capable of monitoring distance, speed, pace, and calories burned for up to a hundred runs. The selectable log view allows users to display step counts for each day of the week or running distances for the month, providing a comprehensive overview of their fitness progress.

SMART CONNECTIVITY. Bluetooth low energy connectivity enhances the functionality of the GBD-300, allowing it to receive notifications for calls, emails, calendar events, and social media posts. Users can customize notifications to sound an alarm or vibrate the watch. Additionally, the G-SHOCK MOVE app offers advanced capabilities, including training plan creation, data logging, and GPS distance correction, making it a valuable companion for serious athletes.

AVAILABILITY AND SPECIFICATIONS. The G-SHOCK GBD-300 will be available in July, offered in three colors: black, white, and yellow. Measuring 48.9 x 47.4 x 14.9 mm and weighing 60 grams, the watch runs on a CR2032 lithium battery with a lifespan of two years.

With its advanced tracking features, enhanced connectivity, and durable design, the Casio G-SHOCK GBD-300 is set to become an essential tool for marathoners and fitness enthusiasts. Whether logging runs or tracking daily steps, this smartwatch delivers the performance and reliability expected from a G-SHOCK product.
