Casio G Shock Placing More Emphasis on Smartwatch Features
When it comes to smartwatches, some of the most desirable features include water resistance, smartphone connectivity, and good looks on the wrist. Many of these features are often not found in one package, but Casio hopes to change that.
The watchmaker recently opened a G Shock store in London’s Carnaby Street. Alex Owen, a trade marketing executive at the company, has revealed their plans for the future. With the Android Wear watches already released, the company is setting its sights on hybrid smartwatches, with the first smart G Shock model expecting to debut in the coming months.
“Casio has always been at the forefront of technology,” Said Owen. “We made the world’s first touchscreen watch, the world’s first weather predicting watch, and the world’s first databank watches; so it’s very natural for Casio to progress into smartwatches. Android Wear gives us so many new opportunities.”
