Training Data (Up to 100 runs, up to 140 lap times per run) Elapsed time, distance, pace, calories burned. A variety of display modes can be activated, although while the MODE and DISPLAY buttons on the left side of the case-control much of this functionality, somewhat counterintuitively, to activate the surfer functions you need to first press the LAP button, then you can access the impressive tide graph, moon data, high and low tide times, and sunrise/sunset times screens. Tide information and sunrise/sunset times for about 3,300 locations around the world can easily be set using the dedicated app. In terms of the screen, GBX 100 uses the same MIP display as its predecessor. So, you can expect the same high level of contrast and clarity in both bright sunlight and complete darkness. Also the quality of the glass is equal – both models feature mineral crystal glass. The reason why we consider the GBX 100 model a better value than GBD 200 is simple: it offers more useful features at basically the same price.

Training Function: Display of distance, speed, pace, and other calculated values based on accelerometer, auto/manual lap times, Auto Pause, target alert setting (time, calories burned) on/off, training display customization Second Post: The GBX-100 has a stainless steel bezel with a hairline and top honing treatment, and the rest of the case is resin. The battery life is once again outstanding and it can last up to 2 years. Casio GBX 100 vs GBD 200 (Verdict)The watch measures 50.9 x 46.0 x 14.7 millimeters and weighs 66 grams, which is somewhere between the size of a DW-5600 (48.9 x 42.8 x 13.4) and GX-56 (55.5 × 53.6 × 17.5), but lighter than the GX-56’s 88 grams. Now let’s move on to the area in which we think GBX 100 edges out GBD 200 and that’s the feature set. Features

It’s a smartwatch Jim, but not as we know it. To read a text from my son required six button pushes. No matter how many times I pressed the buttons I couldn’t reply. After half a day of being more connected to my phone than I wanted to be, I turned off the notifications.The instruction manual is now available at support.casio.com. See the full specifications listed below. While the first watch we compared is said to be the ideal type for those into extreme workout routines, the Casio GBX100 of the G-Lide collection was created particularly with surfing enthusiasts in mind. Design & Durability As mentioned above, this watch does receive notifications but it’s not intended to take the place of a full-fledged smartwatch such as Casio’s new Move watch, or an Apple Watch, for instance. All the data can be viewed on the watch’s display or on your smartphone, using the Mobile link feature that pairs the two devices via Bluetooth connection. Movement At first glance, the two models look extremely similar but upon further inspection, you start to notice some subtle differences.

No surprises here – just like its sibling, the GBX 100 is powered by a Japanese quartz movement that runs on a CR2032 battery. The accuracy of this caliber is +/- 15 seconds per month, although again it’s flawless when connected to your phone. Battery The Tide and Moon Phase calculator is presented in three different display modes. The Tide calculator is available in a 12-hour or a 24-hour graph format. The tide display includes the moon phase and sunrise/sunset times in a smaller font. There’s also a dedicated moon phase display that includes sunrise and sunset times. Countdown timer (interval timer with up to five time settings, 1-second units, duration 00’00” to 60’00”, auto-repeat settable from 1 to 20) The main time mode screen is easier to read than Bathtime for Biscuit. The date (month/day) appears in a smaller font in the upper right corner, large enough to read with my unaided 56-year-old eyes.Revealed at Casio’s Spring & Summer New Product Exhibition, the GBX-100 is a surfing-oriented watch with Bluetooth smartphone connectivity, high/low tide times, tide levels, and sunrise/sunset times, along with the traditional tide graph and moon age display. The day of the week lives in the lower left corner, projected in the same font size as the date. The activation status of various functions (DST, BlueTooth, Alarm, Signal, etc) appear in very small fonts along the bottom of the screen and in the upper left corner. Time Functions: Digital hour / minute / seconds, date, day, stopwatch (1-sec), countdown timer, Four daily alarms with snooze, 12 / 24 hour format, World Time (29 time zones / 38 cities), hourly time signal, auto-light. Carrying the watch and no phone, I received no notifications, but as I mentioned above, the simple nature of carrying a stopwatch and no phone, was advantageous to me because I could disconnect.
