How Time Flies with the GRB200
All You Need to Know about G-SHOCK’S GRAVITYMASTER
Sure, a pilot’s watch is timeless, but it’s also flightless — it needs gravity to function, meanwhile it’s the plane that does all the heavy lifting. Then there’s the GRB200 from G-SHOCK — a watch with so many flight-specific features that calling it the “GRAVITYMASTER” was probably its own idea. Unlike most watches on the market, the G-SHOCK GRB200 features highly compact Quad Sensor technology to free up case space. The unique configuration provides enough room to house sensors for compass, altimeter/barometer and thermometer measurements, making it easy to understand your surroundings and maintain comprehensive flight logs. There’s even an accelerometer to track step count, just in case you’re tempted to hang up your wings and go for a good old-fashioned walk.
Now, you may think all that functionality must come in a fragile package, but that’s where you’d be wrong. In addition to the brand’s industry-leading shock resistance, the GRB200’S module is housed within G-SHOCK’S Carbon Core Guard Structure — a high-strength, highly water-resistant resin case with additional carbon fiber reinforcements. Further adding to the GRB200’S durability is a bezel cut from three layers of semi-transparent resin interlaced with carbon fiber inserts, ultimately making this one of the most shock- and vibration-resistant timepieces available.
Finally, unlike flying an actual plane, the G-SHOCK GRB200 is surprisingly easy to operate. The three button layout on the right side of the watch is designed to resemble a fighter jet control stick for an intuitive user experience. Meanwhile, the watch’s Bluetooth function seamlessly connects to the G-SHOCK Connected app for quick and easy configuration, as well as a unique Mission Function.
So you could get yourself a “pilot’s” watch and take to the skies, but if time itself ever flies, it does so with a GRAVITYMASTER strapped to its wrist.
