Stepping up in Casio's range
Built around a white resin case measuring 48.4 × 45.9 × 15.0 mm, the GBD-200-7ER is a substantial sports watch with a Memory-in-Pixel digital display protected by a mineral crystal. The all-white construction extends to the bezel and rubber strap, giving the watch a clean, uniform appearance. Shock resistance and 200 metres of water resistance underpin the build. Bluetooth connects to the Casio app for automatic time correction up to four times daily, smart notifications, and GPS-assisted distance calibration. A three-axis accelerometer tracks steps, pace, speed, and estimated calories, storing up to 100 runs. Four alarms with vibration, world time across 38 cities, and a white LED backlight with auto-light complete the feature set.

Learn more about Casio
Tadao Kashio founded Kashio Seisakujo in Tokyo in 1946 as a machine shop. The company's first success was a finger ring that held a cigarette, and its second was the 14-A of 1957 — the world's first all-electric compact calculator, which used solenoids rather than gears.
Casio entered watchmaking in 1974 with the Casiotron, a digital watch with an automatic calendar that knew the varying lengths of months. The company approached watches as an electronics manufacturer rather than a horological one, and that difference produced the G-Shock.
The G-Shock came from a single engineer, Kikuo Ibe, who broke a watch his father had given him and set out to build one that could not break. The specification was three tens: survive a ten-metre drop, ten bars of water pressure, and ten years of battery life. It took over two hundred prototypes, and the solution was suspending the module inside the case on a cushioned internal structure rather than mounting it rigidly. The DW-5000C shipped in 1983.
It became one of the most durable product designs in any category, adopted by militaries, emergency services, and skateboarders alike, and Casio has since added solar charging, radio and GPS timekeeping, Bluetooth, and full-metal and carbon variants.
Casio also produces the Edifice, Pro Trek, and Oceanus lines, and remains an independent Japanese public company.
