For someone like me, the heart rate monitor, blood oxygen sensor, and the sleep tracking would be functions I could use every day. Before now, an apple watch would have been my only option, and that would run me $800. My doctor has been after me to get one, but now maybe I wouldn't have to. I guess it would depend on how accurate that functionality is. Frankly, I just refuse to wear an apple watch. At least G's are cool!

Love that Casio is paying attention and reaching out to people like yourself for their input. Wouldn't it be cool though for the company to offer "MY-Shock", where customers could purchase G-Shock's built to suit their wants and needs. They could offer a limited number of alternatives we could choose from, case design, strap, module, display, etc. Shoe companies have done it, and I assume it has been successful for them and their consumers. Certainly would be fun to create something unique.

I was interested in getting one of these with the new LE version that comes with 2 "skins". One with a monochromatic square sketch design motif and the other with a multicolored circuit pattern design. However, my one G-Shock square I do have I wear occasionally and I'm not convinced of the slightly added bulk and impressions left on wrist.. the new display is awesome. but, not sure that's enough.. also, MWC's video showed some delay and lack of intuitive functions to this new module. I'd probably wait till they improve it and even lose the heart monitorans other health features. I'd be game to keep all of the functions if they could slim back, lessen the "footprint" left on wrist, and make it more streamlined in functional usage.

This module / functionality should really be in the GBD form factor, which is optimised for its role as a fitness watch. As some others have commented, the Garmin instinct crushes this watch in terms of functionality and price. I could imagine an evolution of the GBD being the model through which G Shock can (ultimately) compete with the Garmin Instinct. This square feels like it is neither one thing nor the other, and will always be compromised by its form.

The health tracking functions would be much more useful if Casio were to partner with a fitness company that already does tracking like Strava or Fitbit (now owned by Google). But otherwise I do agree... keep the MIP display, the Bluetooth and Solar charging. I have a GBD-200 and I wish it had solar but also the phone notifications are almost useless so I turned it off. The health tracking just is also not robust enough nor does it transfer to other apps I use. In the end a smartwatch is still my best health tracker.

My family has those and like them -- we're an iPhone/Mac clan -- but I'm not a smart watch person overall. I'm wearing my GM5600B-3 today, and I concede the new model with MIP and other features is easily a better value despite costing more. But no, I would not consider this at $300. They could probably cut the price in half and stomp the low-end fitness watch category but I doubt Casio would be interested in becoming that.

If I can find one for half price, that is exactly how I would use it. The blue color is cool. Tracking fitness is not the key to fitness. Disconnect already.
