The 'Casio G-SHOCK MRG-B2100R-2A' watch has been shown off by the brand as one of its latest and greatest timepieces that will provide wearers with a durable option that doesn't skimp on connected capabilities.
The watch is based on the 'G-SHOCK B2100' series with its octagonal case shape and is crafted out of Ti64 titanium that has been specially hardened before being finished with a diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating. The bezel is made out of the brand's proprietary Cobarion material, while the watch is paired with a sapphire crystal lens with anti-reflective properties.
The Casio G-SHOCK MRG-B2100R-2A watch will connect with the Casio Watches app where users can add in any timezone they want and is solar powered to ensure consistent timekeeping.
