What we like in GG-B100 *comments by experts with 10years experience in writing about Casio watches The button tones on the mode button can be switched off for discreet operation. Pre-set alarm or timer functions remain active. A built-in pressure sensor measures barometric pressure, which is converted to relative altitude, Altitude Graph: Changes in altitude are represented by a graph on the watch face, Measuring range: -700 to 10,000m (-2,300 to 32,800ft), Measuring unit: 1 metre (or 5ft) When paired with a smartphone, your watch automatically adjusts the time, and records mission logs, using altitude data from the watch and GPS data from the smartphone.Equipped with an impressive range of tech features intended to support land missions, all sensors can be linked to a dedicated app for data capture and mission monitoring. The watch has a triple sensor and an accelerometer: the three sensors detect compass bearing, measure atmospheric pressure/altitude, and gauge temperature, while the accelerometer counts steps. A built-in temperature sensor measures the ambient temperature around the watch and displays it on the LCD, Measuring range: -10°C to 60°C (14°F to 140°F); measuring unit: 0.1°C (0.2°F)

Conquer tough terrain and grab attention with a rugged timepiece boasting a bold, eye-catching color scheme.

The energy-saving technology enables access to a host of functions.

Model Comparison

Others: Relative altitude readings (±100 m /±1000 m), selectable measurement interval: 5 seconds or 2 minutes (1 second for first 3 minutes only) Barometric pressure tendency information alarm (beep and arrow indicates significant changes in pressure)

CASIO WATCH+ World Time lets you select from among approximately 300 cities as the World Time City, Displays the current time in major cities and specific areas around the world The carbon fiber bezel is made with a carbon fiber sheet inserted into the fine resin. The top fine resin layer is transparent which allows the the carbon fiber to be visible. Casio state that the watch has a +/- 15 seconds per month. I find with many Japanese manufacturers they understate their accuracy and given that the watch synchs with your app you’ll usually always have total accuracy for the current time wherever you are. Size and Fit Best characteristic of watch: Excellent mix of form and function. New case construction and materials are clear upgrade. Legible, attractive dial. Enjoyable to use interface and functions. Step counter adds way for consumer to engage with the watch.

Reviews

Daily Alarms: Each will sound every day at the time you set, Hourly time signal: The watch beeps every hour on the hour The atmospheric pressure tendency graph can show the last 20 minutes or last 56 minutes of measurements. The hand indication of pressure differential shows values in units of ±1 hPa. LED light for the face (Auto LED light, Super illuminator, selectable illumination duration (1.5 seconds or 3 seconds), afterglow)

The watch has a battery change indicator that shows an icon when it is time to change the CR2025 battery. The Height Gain function sums all meters climbed in a session to show the total ascent during a tour. Update (June 2019): Casio Europe now has the GG-B100 models listed. Other info and features not previously mentioned include: The watch features a double LED light which is surprisingly powerful but only stays on for a 3 second burst. The hands of the watch also have lume applied so they remain visible for a long period during the night even without using the LED light to read the time. Bluetooth ConnectivityI have a couple of small gripes after a solid week of testing. Firstly the lume on the hands should extend to the numbers on the dial too or at the very least an extra single lume dot at the 12 position. This means that in the pitch dark you know ‘which way up’ the watch is and more importantly don’t read the watch with a slightly crooked wrist and inaccurately guess which hour it is. There are times when you don’t want to use the LED night to preserve night vision so being able to accurately know you are reading the dial ‘square’ is important. The thermometer gives you an accurate read of the current temperature which again you can customize in the app for Celsius or Fahrenheit. A built-in direction sensor detects magnetic north displaying both this and your current direction on the watch face., Bearing Display: Indicates your course against a recorded bearing, Measuring Range: 0 - 359 degrees, Measuring Unit: 1 degree
