Casio releases its second series of Bluetooth 4.0 enabled G-Shock watches with call and e-mail notifications, as well as music player functionality. Is it good enough to stop people from reaching into their pockets to check their phones?
PROS
Retains iconic G-Shock look and feel; Phone Finder feature helpful
CONS
Far more expensive than standard G-Shock, Music player frustrating to operate, Limited device compatibility
VERDICT
The GBX6900 has kept the tradition of the G-Shock alive and well, armed with a few handy notification features that although helpful, will not entice newcomers. At roughly R1 300 more than an equivalently sized G-Shock watch minus the Bluetooth functionality, the GBX6900 has too little going for it in terms of Bluetooth functionality to motivate users to cough up the extra bucks.
