Free from complicated features, these simplified step trackers elevate fitness tracking with a fashion-forward new case design from Casio with a sleek, compact profile and an octagonal watch face. The oblong and angular face of these timepieces are accented by neon green, gray, black and white color options, and a digital LCD with a three-tiered display layout. With durability in mind, Casio crafted these designs with a [shock-resistant construction](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gshock-analogdigital-ga010) that integrates the bezel, case and band connectors. This design decision is a departure from many others with a case shielded by the bezel and the band is attached directly.
