The G-SHOCK sports line "G-SQUAD" pursues relentless toughness. It features the square form inherited from the original G-SHOCK, equipped with an acceleration sensor, distance measurement function, and smartphone connectivity, making it useful for training such as running. By linking with the smartphone's GPS function, the measured distance from the acceleration sensor is corrected. Once corrected, the watch can measure running distance more accurately on its own for future use. Additionally, it includes an auto lap function that automatically measures time every time a certain distance is covered, as well as a dedicated app "G-SHOCK MOVE" for managing various settings and training, allowing users to check life logs and activity history, and automatically create training plans tailored to set goals.
The display uses high-definition MIP LCD, and pressing the front button, which adds a gadget-like feel typical of G-SHOCK, activates the Super Illuminator light for enhanced visibility in dark environments. The band is made of soft urethane material for improved fit, with multiple holes for fine adjustments. It also features automatic time correction via Bluetooth® connection and notification functions, enhancing its utility for daily health management and running endurance.
