Casio’s G-Shock has long been the gold standard for affordable timepieces that are extremely tough and more than capable of handling just about anything that you throw at it. There is a constant improvement in the kind of G-Shock models that hit the market, and the newest two models under the MR-G connected watches from G-Shock will boast of 3-way time sync connectivity.

With the expansion of the elevated MR-G line, courtesy of a couple of 3-way time sync models, these watches will be able to receive radio waves, GPS satellite signals as well as Bluetooth transmissions in order to deliver the most accurate level of timekeeping available to the masses. These new models will also arrive with a premium feel to them, since it uses high grade materials in order to deliver the ultimate in luxurious, indestructible construction.

First of all, there is the MRGG2000CB-1A which comes with a bezel that boasts of a Cobarion finish. Cobarion is a totally new material that was developed in Japan in order to deliver a beautiful mirrored surface, not to mention a greater degree of scratch and allergy resistance. The MRGG2000HB-1A sports a black-dragon inspired bezel, arriving in deep black, with a specialty Marume-TSUIKI hammer tone finish. Regardless of which particular model that you decide on, both of them will feature evolved functionality alongside city codes and watch modes that are easily viewed on the right side of the watch face.

Not only that, both of these timepieces also sport G-Shock’s GPS Atomic Solar Hybrid technology that will be able to accurately measure time and location, regardless of where you are on earth. Tough Solar capabilities ensure that your battery function is not hampered in any way, while the non-reflective sapphire crystal and a black titanium case and bracelet provide premium construction quality. Expect the usual G-Shock technology of shock resistance and 200m water resistance, a high-brightness LED light, World Time display with 39 cities + UTC, daily alarm, stopwatch, countdown timer, date display and a full auto calendar to be part of each purchase, where the MRGG2000CB-1A and MRGG2000HB-1A will retail for $3,700 and $5,000, respectively.

Casio’s obsession with rolling out quality timepieces has not stopped over the years, but rather, it has strengthened. The company has revealed its Gravitymaster G-Shock series in the past, but none of them have been up to the quality of this year’s model at Baselworld 2017 — where it is touted to be the first ever connected Gravitymaster G-Shock that has been released. This all new Master of G model will boast of Bluetooth connectivity that will hook up to your smartphone via an app, making it all the more versatile than ever before.

The Casio G-Shock Gravitymaster GPW2000-1A is the first-ever Bluetooth connected model under part of the Master of G series, where it has been specially built for aviation experts. What makes it so special? Well, it comes with connected GPS capabilities that include Mission Stamp, which is a function that will not only record time and location, it can also transmit the information via Bluetooth over to a special Smartphone Link app. This can then be viewed within a flight log.

The GPW2000-1A also carries the distinction of being the very first Gravitymaster model that comes with a longitude indicator, apart from a latitude indicator. This will add a key function to record travel location and history for pilots when they carry out their missions. Additional premium features that Casio has thrown into the mix include a sapphire crystal for minimal scratching, carbon fiber second hand, carbon fiber insert band and a unique carbon band lock insert, where all of these prevents loosening due to heavy vibrations.

Not only that, the GPW2000-1A will arrive with triple time adjust that is made possible thanks to Bluetooth connectivity and G-SHOCK’s GPS Hybrid Wave Ceptor technology. This results in even more accurate timekeeping regardless of where you are, thanks to the receiving GPS satellite signals or terrestrial radio signals from up to half a dozen transmitters worldwide, based on the current location and environment. Don’t expect the new GPW2000-1A to be cheap though, as it has an asking price of $800 when it becomes available from May 2017 onward.
