If you have forgone the
traditional wristwatch for of a cellphone clock, you may have a reason to go
old-school again. Casio’s G-Shock GB6900AA with Bluetooth 4.0 syncs along with
your iPhone to deliver email and phone call alerts.
The G-Shock Bluetooth Low Energy Smart Watch includes notifications for basic items like calendar alerts, weather and stock - even if you have to squint to see them round the tiny screen. You can silence all of these vibrating notifications by simply double-tapping the watch’s screen.
One feature we like to in particular is the watch’s built-in system that notifies you once your iPhone is out of range. That’s ideal for those of us who hastily grab at our pocket in the short burst of panic once you have out of a cab.
Despite its iPhone-syncing capabilities, the Casio watch reportedly doesn’t consume an exorbitant amount of energy because it runs on a traditional button-cell battery. Let’s think that you use the Bluetooth function for 12 hours every day, the watch’s battery could last two-year lifespan.
