The G-SHOCK POWER TRAINER GBD800UC-5 timepiece is the latest model from [Casio](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gshock-glide-gbx100s) that will provide athletes with a low-cost way to capture workout data to keep them on track with their training schedule. Working with the accompanying [G-SHOCK smartphone app](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gshock-models), the timepiece will record up to 200 lap records, tracks steps, calculates calories burned and more.

The watch features a series of wings on the back of the band that promises to deliver a more substantial grip on the wearer's wrist that won't slide around during wear or activity. Coming in five color options and priced at $99, the G-SHOCK POWER TRAINER GBD800UC-5 timepiece speaks to the increased demand for [rugged connected technology solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gshock-analogdigital-ga010) as consumers opt to spend more time exploring or training.
