Since 202 1, new products in the smart watch market have mushroomed, and more and more manufacturers have joined the industry. Even Casio, a traditional watch manufacturer, couldn't stand it, and launched the first G-Shock smart watch, named Casio-SquadprogSW-H1000, announcing that it had entered a brand-new smart watch field from the traditional watch industry.
From the design point of view, Casio G-Shock smart watch continues its brand family design, adopting 1.2-inch dual-screen design, supporting 15 outdoor sports modes, 24 indoor activity monitoring and GooleAssistant. Not only that, it inherits Casio's tradition in quality and durability. The main body is made of durable plastic, and the back cover is made of titanium alloy, which supports 200 meters waterproof grade.
Of course, Casio G-Shock smart watches are not cheap in price. At present, the overseas version is priced at 700 US dollars (about 4,593 yuan) and is expected to be released in May. There is no news of the Bank of China version for the time being. From the price point of view, the threshold for Casio to debut in the smart watch industry is very high, and the price as high as 4,500 yuan may not be what every outdoor sports enthusiast is willing to bear.
Compared with the high threshold of Casio G-Shock smart watches, under the fierce competition in the domestic smart watch industry, major brands have some products with outstanding reputation. Among them, Huami's new AmazfitT-RexPro has gained a large number of outdoor sports enthusiasts at the price of 1099 yuan and the high reputation of the last work "AmazfitT-Rex". See if it really smells good.
In terms of appearance, AmazfitT-RexPro has a full outdoor sports style, the outer ring is painted with metal, the texture is in place, the angular design is full of fighting feeling, and it also has a 1.3-inch high-definition AMOLED colorful screen, which supports all-weather AOD display, and it is really convenient to check data such as time and date without raising your hand.
However, it is worth noting that AmazfitT-RexPro extends its concept of "tenacity" to the inside of the fuselage. It has passed the 15 military test, and can withstand not only the high temperature of 70 degrees, but also the test of MINUS 40 degrees. Not to mention various tests such as impact, salt spray, damp heat, accumulated freezing rain and 100 meter waterproof, which are comparable to Casio.
In fact, the users who bought Casio G-Shock and Huami AmazfitT-RexPro have some overlap, and they are all hardcore outdoor sports enthusiasts. When exploring outdoors, the most important thing is to know where you are at all times. AmazfitT-RexPro is equipped with the latest four-star three-mode positioning scheme, which can quickly and accurately understand your positioning. You only need to look at the watch screen when exploring, which is convenient and reassuring.
As a good helper of outdoor sports, AmazfitT-RexPro is equipped with more than 100 sports modes, covering many scenes such as running, swimming, boating, mountaineering and skiing. At the same time, with the Firstbeat algorithm, it can provide relevant professional data such as oxygen uptake, complete recovery time, training load and training effect. Constantly improve and enhance your physical fitness in various sports.
Not only that, AmazfitT-RexPro also prepared a blood oxygen saturation test for skiers and mountaineers exploring high-altitude snow-capped mountains. When you climb Yulong Snow Mountain, Tiangeer Peak, Bogda Peak and other areas, you can know your current blood oxygen value by raising your hand to ensure your health and prevent accidents due to low blood oxygen content.
Generally speaking, Casio's entry into the smart watch market this time is a good thing. For Casio fans, there is finally a smart watch to choose from. However, at present, the domestic release time is unknown, and the overseas price as high as 4,500 yuan may block some consumers. After all, this price can buy three traditional G-Shock watches.
If you want to feel the charm of sports smart watches at a lower price, AmazfitT-RexPro officially launched today is a good choice. It has a good performance in quality, function and ease of use. The most important thing is that its price of 1099 yuan greatly reduces the threshold for starting, and interested friends may wish to know about it.

How about Casio smart watch?
Casio is moderately priced, but it is well-made and cost-effective.
Casio is one of the three major watch brands in Japan. Casio is less famous than Swiss watches. Because the Japanese watch industry started late, there is not much accumulation, and it is basically quartz watches. Therefore, it is basically positioned in the middle and low grades. Casio's positioning is novel, avant-garde and fashionable. Therefore, there are more sports models, which are more expensive than similar Japanese models. Casio has always been ahead of its peers in technology, and can apply novel and peculiar technologies to watch timekeeping. Moreover, it has made technical breakthroughs over the years and accumulated a lot in production technology and workmanship, especially in electronics.
Casio watches have two categories, one is the platform of sports and leisure image; One is a young and fashionable pointer watch. Special offers and new products of the season will be launched according to the changes of seasons throughout the year. Casio products emphasize functions, such as solar energy, 10 battery, super backlight and other powerful functions of Casio.
The brand image of vitality, youth, fashion and multifunction represented by Casio watches has been deeply rooted in people's hearts. Casio company combines high-tech, cutting-edge and cutting-edge technologies with new LCD skills, and applies them to wristwatches appropriately, constantly improving the development level of wristwatches-the spirit of "wrist technology" advocated by Casio has also been followed and spread in China.
Casio watches entered the China market earlier, and its G-Shock series has long been widely known. Lu series has the functions of anti-mud, anti-magnetism, electronic compass, universal time and temperature measurement. It also has auxiliary functions such as automatic backlight lighting and low battery warning. Ocean series has the functions of 200m waterproof, diving record, tidal chart display, automatic light emission, etc. It is suitable for surfing, kayaking and sailing enthusiasts. Extreme sports series is the first choice for snowboarders and skateboarders. In addition to normal functions, it is characterized by impact resistance and low temperature of -20℃.
Casio's watch is too technical.
Casio combines high-tech, sophisticated technology with new LCD skills, and applies them properly to watches, constantly improving the development level of watches. The spirit of "wrist skill" advocated by Casio has also been followed and spread in China.
Casio watch shockproof performance research and development story
198 1 year, Kikuxiong Ibu, a 28-year-old Casio R&D employee, broke the watch given by his father during the college entrance examination and decided to develop the shockproof function of the watch. Later, Casio watch descriptors were inspired by the game of shooting rubber balls. Imagine a rubber ball or softball. When you hit it with all your might, rubber sometimes absorbs all the impact. If the parts of the watch can be "suspended" in this ball so that it can't touch the ball, then these parts will be protected. In the next two years, they turned this imagination into a perfect plan through countless experiments. 1983, this G-shock watch was born.
Through this transformation, a unique earthquake-proof scheme in the world has been created, giving the watch a brand-new concept: stability. After successful research and development, it has created its own popular civilization for 25 years, and G-SHOCK has also derived various series with different characteristics.
Six series of Casio watches
Casio's six watch brands interpret the wisdom and inspiration of the whole series of products with brand-new intelligent technology and exquisite design. Casio continues to introduce a new SMARTACCESS intelligent operating system with forward-looking creativity on the basis of inheriting the radio wave receiving and solar drive technology of the sixth bureau of the world-using the five-motor independent drive technology and matching the electronic crown. This cutting-edge technology makes the operation of the watch simpler and more sensitive. By pressing the crown, you can easily switch multiple functions, perfectly realizing versatility and operability, and becoming a timepiece. Casio watches have undoubtedly taken an epoch-making step in the global timekeeping field.
Why doesn't Casio continue to update digital watches?
Casio will not continue to update digital watches for the following reasons:
1, the technology of electronic watch is very mature, there is not much room for updating and improvement, and the function is very single, which can not meet the rich and diverse needs of consumers now;
2. The development of smart watches is very rapid. With more and more functions and applications, consumers prefer the experience of smart watches.
3. Smart watches are cheaper and more competitive, and electronic watches are hard to match;
4. Casio focuses on the research and development of smart watch technology, and more resources are invested in the research and development of smart watches rather than the update of digital watches.
What about Casio's smart watch? What is the relationship between Microsoft and Casio smart watches?
Microsoft Technology Licensing Company, a subsidiary of Microsoft, is responsible for patent licensing. Recently, it signed an authorization agreement with Casio Company of Japan. The agreement covers a wide range, including smart watch technology.
We may think that Microsoft completely withdrew from the fitness bracelet market last year, although Microsoft retained its subsidiaries and continued to explore the wearable market.
Presumably, the purpose of Microsoft signing the agreement is not to resell Casio smart watches, nor to install Windows system in Casio watches. In the future, Casio smart watches may launch Azure and Office365 services, because Microsoft said in the media press release that Casio watches are equipped with many sensors, which can add some outdoor functions, such as monitoring activities, height measurement, barometer and compass.
Microsoft has launched a "health" service, which can provide health and fitness analysis information. This service may be related to the agreement.
About a year ago, Microsoft reformulated the strategy of Internet of Things and embedded system, focusing on selling and authorizing network services instead of embedding Windows into IoT devices.
Apart from the press release, Microsoft is unwilling to make any comments. In fact, Microsoft and Casio also signed an authorization agreement before, but the previous agreement was mainly related to industrial handheld terminals and enterprise information systems.
