Casio G-Shock GPW-1000 Gravitymaster: Advanced technology always creates a pure watch

Here’s a G-Shock featuring GPS hybrid technology and that too, of its first kind. The Casio G-Shock GPW-1000 Gravitymaster is distinctively one of the best among GPS watches if we leave out the protective measures; with them, it’s perhaps the really busy man’s best choice for everyday use unless bound by considerably formal settings. It is not a luxury look and a serious outdoors watch is never meant to look luxury. Rugged it is!

The GPS Hybrid Wave-Ceptor feature speaks for itself - a multiband-6, radio-reception time correction and synching with an added GPS satellite signal-reception to re-check and act as a backup. If radio signals don’t reach you from any of the six worldwide signal stations, the watch is always within the range of the GPS from above. Clouds might get them a bit cloudy at times, but it makes the watch synchronise from anywhere on the world. However, both the signals will have problem in reaching deep underground tunnels and habitats. Otherwise, be it any time zone, the Casio Gravitymaster GPS Hybrid Wave Ceptor GPW-1000FC-1AJF Men's Watch detects it and also its own current location. It does that to adjust with the local time zone and DST. However, another time you won’t be able to transmit or receive a signal is when you are in an airplane mode.

The rugged design is largely due to the use of resin as a case material other than steel. Resin is lighter, easier to mould than steel and delivers an equal grade of toughness; more, if reinforced with steel. The outer-edges of the case and the bezel-top offer these kinds of additional protection.

Resin also makes its band but this time, it’s been given carbon-fibre inserts. It has been specially treated to handle intensities from brutal outdoor use. The Tough Solar movement with Triple-G resistance (shock, three-times gravity and vibration), the 600+ feet water resistance – all stand witness to the outdoorsman’s favourite Casio Gravitymaster GPS Hybrid Wave Ceptor! The sapphire crystal also imparts a fair bit to the toughness mix, but it’s unnatural if there’s not sapphire crystal thrown in at such an intricate blend!

Other outdoor utilities are the Neobrite luminous hands and markers, the beeper alarm, a fully automatic calendar, a 1/20th second chronograph and a countdown timer are objects of everyday use if you know where to apply. Household appliances or lab-testing, gym or the track, you are free to go!

The Casio G-Shock Camouflage is also known as the Sky-Cockpit (in the international aviation models market) and more specifically (and affectionately) - The Beast, by online G-Shock communities since mid-2014. The world’s first GPS and Radio-Wave-based time-calibrating technology is not about just being techie-smart. Experimental underwater adventures or on a high peak, you can actually own ‘accurate time’ - night or day!
