Solar-Assisted GPS Watches

The Casio GB-800 is Part of the G-Squad Seriesat CES 2018

— January 9, 2018 — Fashion
Fitness watches are becoming all the more popular, but there's still room for improvement in their durability and ruggedness, and the Casio GB-800 is a new watch that hopes to fill that gap in the industry. The connected watch still tracks all the metrics that consumers have come to expect from their fitness trackers, but it also has perks like a tough outer shell and solar-assisted powering to appease those who need their watches to stand up to the tests of time.

The Casio GB-800, which was released at CES 2018, is part of the company's new G-Squad series, itself a subset of the G-Shock brand. This means that the watch will pair with the 'G-Shock Connected' app to map out one's routes over the course of a day and graph calories burned as well.
