If you're a G-Shock fan and want to own a smartwatch, you can finally get both. The Casio G-Squad Pro GSW-H1000 has the G-Shock's signature design paired with full smartwatch OS capabilities. As a G-Shock watch, you get shock resistance and 20 bar water resistance. Its back is made from titanium, while its buttons and portions of the top part are cased in aluminum.
It has a round 1.2-inch dual-layer display with an always-on monochrome panel on top of its colour LCD screen. Like other smartwatches, it can track your heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, sleep, and stress. The G-Squad Pro also has an on-board GPS, a compass, and a barometer. It can track 15 activities and 24 indoor workouts.

Wear OS brings several iconic G-Shock watch faces along with Casio's custom apps to get sport-specific data like road gradient, altitude measurement, and tide graphs. All of these are available for free from the Google Play Store.
The G-Squad Pro can last for up to a month if you only use the monochrome display and tracking sensors. If you use the colour display, you can only get around a day and a half.
