Casio Singapore has unveiled new G-Shock Steel with Connected Engine Module and Analog Chronograph. The latest G-Shock Steel collection may have a refined metal exterior, but the same requisite toughness thanks to the layer guard structure (resin and stainless steel) using different materials for shock absorption.

New G-Shock Steel with Connected Engine Module and Analog Chronograph

The new GST-B100, GST-B100D and special edition GST-B100X are new G-STEEL series watches which feature analog chronographs, a first for the G-STEEL collection, the most interesting design element this time, isn’t the usual contrast robustness and refinement but rather an eye catching “turbine” at 9 o’clock.

The three new G-STEEL watches feature dual time indications with home and local time indicators swappable on demand for convenience. The subdial at 12 shows an interesting fanblade pointer hand which indicates functions related to chronograph’s operation, alarm and battery level. It’s visual flair which plays up the quasi-analog nature of a thoroughly digital timepiece.

The latest G-STEEL watches are equipped with Casio’s new Connected Engine module which connects to Internet time servers via smartphone, thus keeping precision time anywhere, any time. The module also governs user set alarms and secondary time displays through the smartphone app. The Connected Engine module is an improvement on the older models thanks to updated high power dual-coil motors which allow indications to be adjusted swiftly in both directions, an improvement over the older single coil motor modules.

Other practical G-STEEL features include a built-in solar panel turns even the weakest rays into power for the rechargeable battery. They also have double LED light, an auto calendar, dual dial World Time, and water resistance to at least 200 meters, while premium models offer Bluetooth connectivity that links up to your smartphone for the most accurate timekeeping.
