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