Casio has launched the MR-G MRGB2100D-1A, a new watch from its G-Shock series that merges strong build quality with an elegant appearance.
Features of the G-Shock MR-G MRGB2100D-1A
This watch boasts a titanium alloy case (Ti64) along with a bezel made from a COBARION alloy, noted for its durability and shiny finish. The titanium strap, crafted from the DAT55G alloy, offers a perfect mix of toughness and flexibility, ensuring it feels comfortable on the wrist. Taking cues from traditional Japanese art, the bezel is made up of 27 separate pieces for a unique touch.
Practical Aspects
Aside from its striking design, the MRGB2100D-1A is packed with useful features. It utilizes Tough Solar technology, which harnesses solar energy to power the watch and minimizes the need for battery replacements. The Multi-band 6 radio-controlled timekeeping system ensures precision across various time zones, while Bluetooth connectivity makes it easy to link to a smartphone app. This app provides functions like automatic time adjustments, a phone locator, and real-time information about the watch's status.
The watch is designed to withstand shocks and is also water-resistant up to 200 meters, making it perfect for outdoor use. The sapphire glass features an anti-reflective coating to maintain visibility in bright conditions, and the Super Illuminator LED light enhances readability in darker environments.
Cost and Release Information
The price of the Casio MRGB2100D-1A smartwatch is set at $4,200/£3,700, though the launch dates for other regions are yet to be confirmed.
In related news, Casio has introduced a limited-edition G-Shock MR-G MRG-B2000JS-1A, which pays tribute to Japanese sword-making.
