Surfer-Specific Timepieces

G-SHOCK's Watch for Surfers Shows High and Low Tide Times and Levels

— June 10, 2020 — Lifestyle
G-SHOCK's new GBX100 models are watches for surfers that display information that will be particularly useful for those who love to spend their time out on the water. The new models show high tide and low tide times and levels, and offer connectivity to the G-SHOCK Move App via smartphone. The smartphone link includes functions like Tide point settings at thousands of locations around the world and training plans to support individual goals.

The new GBX100 watches get their style from G-SHOCK's octagonal case shape and they feature a wide face design and high-resolution Memory in Pixel LCD displays for increased visibility. These watches for surfers make it easy to access tide and moon data, and other conditions at a glance.
