G-SHOCK presents its new connected G-SQUAD watch: lighter and more compact, it features POLAR technology

From cycling to swimming, strength training, and running, the GBD-H2000, weighing just 63 grams, adapts to all types of training and sports. The watch is available in 4 variations.

Equipped with GPS functionality and 6 sensors allowing it to cover a variety of movements, the GBD-H2000 is 38% lighter than its predecessor, the GBD-H1000. This is made possible by a more compact case integrating a GPS antenna, and with a carbon fiber reinforced back. This also contributes to an even more comfortable fit on the wrist. The new watch features an optical sensor to measure heart rate, as well as a compass, an altitude/barometric pressure sensor, a thermal sensor, an accelerometer, and a gyroscope to detect body movements.

The integrated GPS functionality measures position, distance, and travel speed, all of which allow for tracking a wide variety of movements in real time during physical activity.

The GBD-H2000 displays current performance and physical condition, based on the analysis of various data measured in real time, in an easy-to-read format. It uses the POLAR® library, a database known for heart rate-focused training analysis. Training effectively and efficiently is then possible thanks to scientifically supported and highly reliable analysis results.

Coupled with the CASIO WATCHES application, the user can then access their training data in more detail, such as GPS tracking, heart rate monitor, as well as smart functions like notifications and step counter.

Time display is powered solely by solar charging, even when the battery is low.*

*When charged approximately eight hours a day under indoor artificial lighting (500 lux), and charged by a window on a sunny day for two hours a week (10,000 lux).

Recommended retail price including VAT: €399

ACTIVITY MODES TO SUPPORT DIFFERENT SPORTS

The watch supports eight different activities, including running, cycling, and swimming. Selecting an activity is done by simply pressing a button to track and display various real-time metrics.

Cycling: Distance, speed, time Altitude, elevation gain, heart rate, calories burned, etc.
Open water swimming, pool swimming: Distance, time Calories burned, etc.
Gym workouts, interval training: Time, heart rate, calories burned, etc.

LIGHTWEIGHT

Lightweight thanks to a more compact case integrating a GPS antenna, and with a carbon fiber reinforced back. This also contributes to an even more comfortable fit on the wrist.

POLAR® LIBRARIES FOR TRAINING ANALYSIS

ENDURANCE AND CARDIO: Assess endurance through maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max) in running, measure heart rate based on training duration and intensity, and a wide range of other data.
ENERGY EXPENDITURE: Calculation of carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids as a percentage of calories burned to determine energy intake during training periods and adjust training intensity to help users achieve their goals.
SLEEP RECOVERY LEVEL: Sleep tracking assesses users’ ability to mentally and physically recover overnight after training sessions. The CASIO WATCHES app provides more detailed information and advice.

SOLAR-ASSISTED CHARGING

USB charging for training functions such as GPS tracking and heart rate monitor, as well as for smart functions such as notifications and step counter. Time display is powered solely by solar charging, even when the battery is low.*

*When charged approximately eight hours a day under indoor fluorescent lighting (500 lux), and charged by a window on a sunny day for two hours a week (10,000 lux)
