CASIO has joined forces with legendary boxing brand Everlast to produce the superb G-SHOCK GBA-800EL-4A model from the G-SQUAD line of fitness watches. Set to arrive in a matte red reminiscent of boxing gloves – with the world-famous Everlast logo engraved on the stainless steel case back, the dial, and the lower band – this custom version of the Bluetooth-connected step-tracking G-SQUAD watch carries the slogan ‘Choice of Champions’ that will be visible in red on the LCD display whenever the LED light is activated.
One of the GBA-800EL’s special fitness features is a three-axis acceleration sensor designed to keep track of step count as well as walking or running pace. The digital display shows the step count and hourly step graph, while the status indicator displays the target achievement rate.
The step tracking data, which also include calories burned and a daily-weekly-monthly step count graph broken down by five metabolic equivalent (MET) levels, are automatically or manually sent to a smartphone app. Using the smartphone’s GPS, the app can also display precise map locations of where the steps were taken — thus providing a whole new way to use G-SHOCK for training.
Furthermore, the new wristwatch is equipped with interval training timers to support personalized workouts. Users can configure up to five individual timers repeatable up to 20 times. The shock-resistant model with 200-meter water resistance also has a stopwatch with up to 10 target times; a 200-lap record memory; five daily alarms; an hourly time signal; a hand shift feature; a full auto-calendar; 12/24-hour format; and a double LED light.
Users can perform other key functions from the G-SHOCK Connected app as well, including automatic time adjustment; world time for approximately 300 cities; time swapping; and phone finder.
The G-SHOCK GBA-800EL-4A is now available at all G-Shock Stores across the UAE and is currently priced at AED 645 excluding VAT.
