Casio Adds the GBX-H5600 to its G-LIDE Range
Casio has added a new model to its G-SHOCK G-LIDE line of shock-resistant watches — the GBX-H5600. This innovation combines a heart rate monitor with tide graph and moon data functions, marking the first time these features have appeared together in a G-LIDE timepiece.
The GBX-H5600 shock-resistant watch uses an optical heart rate sensor and an accelerometer to track physical condition in real time, while also measuring distance, calories burned, and other metrics for activities such as running, walking, gym workouts, and interval training. The sensor data is processed using science-backed algorithms from Polar Electro, a well-known name in sports technology, and results can be viewed in detail through the CASIO WATCHES smartphone application. For outdoor and water sports enthusiasts, the tide graph and lunar phase information remain core to the watch's identity.
