Good move from Casio. Casio latest G-Shock \u00a0GB6900AA has an internal Bluetooth 4.0 that allows the watch to communicate with iPhone. It will be able to alert user on SMS, email\u00a0 or incoming calls.<\/p>\n

Apart from that, it will alert user if they are out of range from the phone. There is also a button that the user can press to find the phone with sound (of course, must be within the Bluetooth range). It can automatically adjust the watch to the same time-zone as the phone. However, don’t expect to activate Siri with this watch (no microphone).<\/p>\n

What is important is that with these functions, you still get 200 meters of water resistance and shock absorption. Battery life is around 2 years (based on 12 hours of Bluetooth syncing per day). It cost USD180 in the US.<\/p>\n

Here is the video.<\/p>\n
