My review on G-Shock GBD 200
The GBD-200 is a true hybrid smartwatch that goes easy on the tech and overboard with durability, which combined with a slim case, a comfortable strap, and no battery to charge makes it ideal for all-day, everyday wear.
Casio has added fitness tracking and full Bluetooth connectivity to several watches already. Both the older GBD-100 and more recent GBD-H1000 G Shock watches include the functionality, but the design of both means they’re not ideally suited to all-day, everyday wear. It’s a problem because smartwatches, whether they are hybrid or full touchscreen watches, offer most of their benefits when you wear them throughout the day.
The new operating system offers a lot of interesting fitness features that become available once you pair the watch with your phone. The watch doesn’t have a lot of internal sensors (aside from a step-counter accelerometer which is still on the newer side for G-Shock), but it does pair with your smartphone and makes use of things such as GPS, which your phone can use. GPS combined with other data allows the watch and related G-Shock smartphone app to track your fitness activities in a way that is an interesting and satisfying mixture between a fully independent smartwatch (that requires daily charging) and a classic G-Shock. One of the newer features that the watch operating system has is interval timers. This allows the user to manually set a repeating series of specific countdown times that are a key part of many types of modern workouts ranging from Crossfit to boxing.

Great review. I have it too and like it very much. One thing I find anoying is the reset of the stop watch. Takes forever...
Otherwise a great watch

In my opinion @RichardSport if you are using fitness watch, then this is awesome replacement and if you are a G-shock or Casio fan it's a no brainer 😁🤞 can't wait to see you buy one 🤗

And thank you for the kind words ☺️🙏 it's my first review. Glad that you like it 😊
Nice write up for a great watch. I have the "Stormtrooper" version and find it to be a great summer watch. I have to admit, I got bored of the Bluetooth functions after a couple of weeks and switched them off.

Absolutely on point @Yonder buddy. Thank you for the kind words 🙏☺️ . I've mentioned the Bluetooth issue in regards of battery but not the perticular one you mentioned.

I don’t know if the GBD-H1000 counts it’s really the reason why I was on the fence to pick up a GDB-200. It caugh my eyes because of the classic G-Square look and I love the G-Squares but with the H1000 in hand it made me think twice on picking one up, cheers!

You can disconnect you bluetooth for that. It's optional.
Got the stormtrooper version. Love it! I don't use the notifications/bluetooth function though. I find the processor is quite slow and irritating. Otherwise it's a winner!

Absolutely right i also don't use the Bluetooth feature either.

Just felt if they were going to offer that functionality, they could have spruced-up the hardware.

The problem is non chargable battery. I guess this function required high battery to perform Hance the issue.

Well, that is the bummer. If you have to do something, you just have to do it right or don't do it at all IMHO. 😭

Good, I just wanted to count step for my fat azz🤣

I've put on some weight lately 😁 so wanted to see I'm walking enough 🤣
I had never like the g shock smart watch line as I just do not like to charge the watch. But if you like it than it's ok

This is the plus point here. You don't have to charge your GBD 200. There is no need of charge this watch
