G-Shock GBD-200 Review ⌚️ Fitness Oriented Casio With Bluetooth Integration 🏃🏻♂️ Is It Worth It?
Ойын-сауық
➡️ The Casio G-Shock GBD-200 is best known for it’s stunning MIP display that is viewable from almost any angle. But as a member of the G-Shock Move line, it brings a lot more to the table then you get with the majority of G-Shock watches.

➡️ It can be a bit of a confusing watch at first, is it a traditional G-Shock? Is it a smart watch? Is it an activity tracker? Well, it;s kind of all of those things, and depending on what you want to use it for, it might be perfect for you, or it might be a little underwhelming.
➡️ Let's go over exactly what this watch is designed to do, how well it does that, and I will share my thoughts on what I think it does the best, and who it is best suited for.

Lovely review. I saw the same blue watch at Casio store today. I had gone to check out and probably buy a triple sensor ProTrek or G-Shock for my upcoming travels. But I kept my purchase on hold when I saw this one. Beautiful watch with a great color. So I noted down the model number and got down to doing some research, and your video popped up. Your review is crisp, to the point and very informative. Thanks 👍

great comment thank you! I hope you enjoy your new watch, whatever you decide on
It's my favourite G-shock! Frist of all I love the color (I also bought the blue one) and the display, it really sets it apart and offer something different than any other G-shock that I own. I don't really use the step tracker or activity stuff, but the notifications are super handy. I work in an enviroment where I can't use my phone that much, and to be able to see notifications on my watch is a super handy way to know why my phone is vibrating in my pocket. I do wish that Casio would do a Tough Solar version of this watch, because all the features that I use tends to drain the battery. Other than that, I'm super happy! All the usual G-shock features that I love combined with a great look and added functionality. A great watch!

Hi guys. I am asking for your help. Please can anyone tell me whether the watch displays the caller id together with the phone call notification? And is the Bluetooth range long enough to walk around the house without the phone and still get the notifications? Another question: is there a way to set up a scheluled DND mode or something like that for the night? If so, this is the perfect watch for me. I was unable to find these informations online. Your help is greatly appreciated since this watch is quite expensive in my country - well at least for me - just to buy and try.
Just ordered one and I'm so excited! As a child, G-Shock where the watches every cool kid needed to have. I've used smartwaches for a long time now and although I really apreciate the functions, I hate having to recharge my watch every two days...

These MIP watches have the ability to be positive or negative display. Maybe even auto display so under low light, it'll switch to a positive screen for easier viewing before a backlight is needed. Hopefully there will someday be a module upgrade like the G-shock squares still get new modules every few years. Solar too is sorely needed. Great review. I just want it as a watch and alarm so I'm getting one and never even linking it to my phone. I just ordered the new light gray/tan looking color. Great review. Just subscribed.

I actually like the way the notifications work, the vibration and quick banner describing who and where it is from let’s me know if it is something I should stop what I’m doing to dig out my phone to respond to.

Fantastic review, thank you, I bought mine purely for its great display and good looks. ( I got the blue one also ) Thanks for the heads up re the 6 hour thing with the auto light, I did wonder why that stopped working. Great G-Shock and it only cost me $145 AUD.

Very good review on this watch. I like the display. But when I was about to get this model, I saw a good deal on the GBX-100KI 1ER. It was the last one in stock, and it was cheaper than this model. The functions are the same, I think the GBX-100KI have some extra functions, and a metal bezel. The strap is better on the GBX-100KI. But this gbd-200 is very nice, I like the blue color.

I've got an old Bluetooth Gshock (bt 4.0, a gbx6900) from like 2012. The BT still works, notifications have always been useless. I just use the BT to sync the time and set basic settings (adjust my alarms, timer, etc) then immediately cut it back off. If you just use thr BT link to sync time and set up the watch then turn it off it makes a lot of sense. Dunno of you can just easily turn the bt on and off on this one like you could on old ones. I think I just wanna get this to try out a MIP display. Seems so cool. I wonder if anyone will make a 3rd party phone app to sync these too, like BlueWatcher was.
