Just in time for Halloween, Casio will be releasing some spooky watches with a skeleton motif! Hold on to your Scooby Snacks while we explore this haunting collection!

GA700SK-1A

First up is the GA700SK-1A and here’s where the first difference is noticeable right away. Instead of having a black band (like all the other 1A watches do), this is more grey and transparent, keeping up with the ghost motif. Inside the display, there are many shades of grey, from the hands to the hour markers, to the digital text being grey on a black background.

Next up we have the GA400SK-1A4. Now, this one does not look as spooky, thanks to its pink bezel, but it does give one advantage to girls/women who have bigger wrists. This watch is made especially for them. This watch keeps the transparent band, though darkens it to make it look as black as you’d expect from a 1A model. The background and bezel however, are pink. This also includes the hands and hour markers. The bright pink actually makes it easier to tell the time, and the digital screen is much bigger, compared to the GA700SK.

Finally we have the GA400SK-1A9. If the 700SK was grey, this one is a ghostly white and completely transparent. The writing on the bezel, and the bezel itself is shades of yellow and green. The hands and hour markers are also yellow, to make them easy to read. Best of all (at least for people who don’t like negative displays), this watch has the regular black on white screen, which is, to some people, easier to read.

 

Still with me gang? Great, let’s have a look at all the features. Now, if you’ve been following our store, you’ll be familiar with the GA700 series. Considered the top athlete watch until the GA800 came out, one of the most sought after features is the super LED Light. See, with a lot of other ana/digi combos, the backlight only lights up the analogue part, but the super LED Light illuminates the entire screen, making it easier to see the time.

 

Another great feature is the direct start stopwatch. Before the GA500 and GA700 came along, you’d need to go to a new mode to set up and start your stopwatch, which can get annoying for both trainers, and people training. The GA700, and its SK counterpart, decided to simplify things by adding the start button on the bottom right of your watch. Simply press the button and the watch gets straight into the stopwatch mode. Press it again and it starts! Simple.

 

Here’s where the GA700 stepped it up though. Not only is it really easy to find and use the stopwatch, they also included a stopwatch alarm. Basically, you can put the time you’re aiming for, start the stopwatch, and if you run slower than you intended to, it’ll start beeping. This is a great feature, especially for athletes!

 

Well that’s the GA700SK, but let’s see what the GA400SK has in store for us. First up, you’ll notice the rotary wheel on the right of the watch. From the start, you can use it to set your home city without needing to go into the modes. When you’re setting the time, or alarm, instead of using the buttons, you can just use the rotary wheel, which makes things easier.

 

Apart from having the popular Super LED Light, the watch also has another important feature called Hand Shift. Some people prefer to read the digital time instead of the analogue, but as you can imagine, some hours of the day the hands can cover the digital time. With this Hand Shift feature, you can move the analogue hands out of the way. Then once you’re done, press the button again and the hands go exactly where they were meant to.

 

One big advantage the GA400 series does have over the GA700 is the magnetic resistance. If you’re in an area with lots of magnetic waves, it can sometimes interfere with the analogue hands, so you get discrepancies between the analogue and digital time. The Magnetic resistance prevents this from happening.
