Casio G-Squad GBD H-1000 GET IT FOR: Starts at Rs 39,355 HIGHLIGHT: Battery system
Some brands become synonymous with certain features and build a loyal clientele. Like Casio. The G-Shock series became popular for its ruggedness.
The G-Squad GBD H-1000 now brings that ruggedness with the functionality of a smartwatch. Moving past the rather convoluted name, the G-Squad is unlike any other smartwatch. It is big and meant for those who like rough-and-tough looking watches. It is heavy too, at 100 g, and takes days to get used to.
The display is not the typical all-colour touchscreen but a backlit black-and-white LCD one. It takes time to get used to the display but it works fine under direct sunlight as well.
Like most other things with this watch, Casio makes you work really hard to get the best out of it. The OS that powers the G-Squad H-1000 is really different and the five buttons you find on the watch aren't that easy to navigate. There is a lot of information on the display. You can see heart rate, activity figures and others. But you have to work hard to find all of them. The companion app is helpful but takes time to connect to a smartphone - at least to an iPhone.
However, the smartwatch has a lot going for it when it comes to features. You will find a compass, a pressure sensor, a heartrate sensor, a thermometer, GPS, accelerometer and more. The watch has an accurate steptracker. You can create five custom workout modes to track your fitness activity.
The best part of the smartwatch? Easily its battery. It comes with a solar charging system which means that we never really had to plug it in. We used it for almost two weeks without charging it.
At Rs 39,995, the G-Squad can give a price shock. The rugged design, difficult-to-navigate OS and a not-so-great display go against it.

A good watch never goes out of style. Here are some of the coolest new timepieces launched.
IWC has created a pilot’s watch to honour the record-breaking flight of Steve Boultbee Brooks and Matt Jones, who during the second half of 2019 circumnavigated the world in a Spitfire for the first time in the history of aviation. This version of the Big Pilot’s Watch in the Spitfire design has a green dial and a case made of bronze, a material which develops a unique patina over time.
Seiko’s two creations in the Presage collection won high acclaim from watch lovers worldwide for their Arita porcelain dials back in March 2019. Today, a new Presage creation features another Arita porcelain dial whose design is inspired by the Japanese tradition of Suigetsu, which celebrates the beauty of the moon when it is reflected in water. This limited edition watch is 10 bar water resistant and is presented on a crocodile strap with a blue tone that echoes the color of lakes.
Bovet has launched the Récital 26 Brainstorm® Chapter Two – a double-face flying tourbillon, world time with indexable second-time zone, moon phase, and five days’ power reserve. This piece has a writing slope case entirely made of sapphire. Selected for its crystalline transparency, sapphire is, moreover, the second hardest material known after diamond and, a little known fact, it is lighter than titanium.
Audemars Piguet unveils three new versions of the Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding Chronograph. Each model includes a new dial design, black ceramic case and textured rubber strap. The new Royal Oak Offshore collection offers a choice of smoked blue, green or grey dials, each incorporating the Manufacture’s “Mega Tapisserie” pattern and new Arabic numerals which supplant the customary applied hour-markers.
