We don’t know when people realized that having a tool that would tell them time is essential. Once watches have been hitting the market, people decided that they wanted more from them; simply telling time wasn’t enough anymore.
From the watches that would take a fall to those that sync with your smartphone, watches are a lot more than they used to be.
Why do we praise G-Shock watches so much?
It was the 80’s when a Casio engineer (Mr. Ibe) was dreaming only about one thing: creating a watch that would take a fall and even handle all sorts of challenging situations.
Two hundred handmade samples later, he gave the world the first G-Shock watch and changed the world of watches forever.
Shock resistant and presenting water resistance as well (up to 200 meters is the standard water resistance), the G-shock watches share some fundamental features. They have resistance to low-temperature, vibration, gravity, electrical shock, and their toughness is impressive.
Some innovative technologies are sustaining the abilities of G-Shock watches. The floating timekeeping modules inside the structure or the urethane protecting the elements inside are only some of them.
What’s the G-Squad GBA-800DG Dagger Series?
The series has the final late-game 3-point shot in basketball as the primary source of inspiration. It consists of 4 colorways inspired by basketball and uses the GBA-800 as the base model.
Function-wise, the watches link with the G-Shock connected phone app, which allows access to several functions that improve your workout routine. Fitness support and daily health functions include a 3-axis accelerometer that records your step count, while the Multi-Timer helps you set up to 20-time combinations of five timers each, store for up to 200 lap records and much more.
The app also helps you keep step count logs with five exercise intensity levels, to get an idea about the calories you’re burning, to include a daily step target, to store stopwatch measurement data, to create timer combinations and then send them to your watch, to view data and much more.
Using any of the watches is going to help you plan and record your workouts, improving their efficiency.
Every model presents three colors in its design, which reminds you of the 3-pointer shot.
The series includes a black GBA-800DG-1AJF, a white GBA-800DG-7AJF, a yellow GBA-800DG-9AJF, and a purple GBA-800DG-2AJF. They all have motivational phrases on the band. “Beasting It Up” is printed on the upper band, whereas “Challenge the Limits” is printed on the lower band. The messages work for both the players that are always trying to get better, but fans alike too.
None of the watches officially correspond to a professional basketball team, but the colors do match some NBA teams. They do resemble with the colors of the Boston Celtics, the Los Angeles Lakers, and the Phoenix Suns. The GBA-800DG-7AJF may be a match for more than just one team.
The GBA-800DG Dagger Series is a November 2018 release in Japan, and Casio America launched them with a list price of $140 each.
