The Casio G-SHOCK GA-2100 made waves when it was released in 2019, with its slim profile and octagonal bezel winning over G-SHOCK enthusiasts and new fans alike. Inspired by the iconic “Casioak” GA-2100, the Casio G-SHOCK GBD-300 series features a similar octagonal bezel but incorporates step-tracking, running measurements, smartphone connectivity, and a high-contrast MIP LCD display to make it a great companion on your workouts. It’s the thinnest in the MOVE lineup, measuring 0.1mm thinner than its predecessor, the GBD-200, while retaining its useful performance-measuring functions. Perfect for fitness enthusiasts, the GBD-300 offers advanced running features like auto and manual lap measurement, customizable training displays, and a comprehensive training log that saves up to 100 runs. With the support of the G-SHOCK MOVE app, you can set target alerts, track your progress, and even enhance GPS accuracy for non-connected use. Additional highlights include a programmable timer, a 1-second stopwatch, and Bluetooth capabilities for auto time correction and phone notifications. The band’s dotted texture prevents slipping during your most intense workouts. Unfortunately, we don’t get Tough Solar on this model, as it’s powered by a CR2032 battery with a two-year lifespan. But considering its highly attractive price point, we’re not complaining.
