Casio will release its first watch under a new partnership between G-Shock and HM Armed Forces, the British Army X G-Shock Mudmaster GG-B100BA.
Casio claims the timepiece, which will be released March 12 priced at £449, is built to last, even for servicemen and women.
It features an updated Carbon Core Guard Structure, triple-layered carbon-insert bezel, and stealth-black dial specifically requested by the British Army, all in a durable yet lightweight frame with a camouflage design.
Cylindrical buttons limit debris from penetrating the watch, while the dual layered case back keeps it airtight.
The Casio-British Army collaboration also resulted in the watch having Bluetooth capabilities, allowing it to connect wirelessly to the G-Shock app.
The app allows users to access features such as a location indicator, mission log memory, location memory, sunset and sunrise data, calories burned and more.
The watch also includes compass, thermometer, altimeter/barometer and step tracker.
Excellent specification in prospect
How much to buy
About $460 in the States
£449
Sounds good, yes please.
Will it also come in navy blue for police work?
Were can I buy this watch for myself
and how much does it cost
Just check the G-Shock UK website, price is £399.
Damn… With it having wireless connection it means it can’t be worn in most of the places I work. That’s a damn shame.
I hope the app is an improvement on the one currently in use. And that the it finally gives distance travelled rather than the useless steps counter
Will serving and ex serving armed forces get a discount
I am checking for you now.
Should be an interesting piece of kit to use. Wonder if you’ll do an RN version. Also what the cost will be.
All very well showing us a great watch but how much will it cost me.
Sounds fantastic but how much to purchase said watch.
I have checked back with Casio and updated the story. The watch is released on March 12 priced at £449.
Looks good but if you want maps and gps get a garmin forex for the same price
