With the G-Squads being so popular, Casio has decided to keep improving them, and the next step in this iteration is the GBA900 series! I was lucky enough to sample them, so let's find out just what makes these watches tick! Ready? Here We Go!

GBA-900-1A

First up is the GBA900-1A. This is your most basic model in terms of colouring, everything is pitch black, apart from the grey hands and the digital display. The buttons are extra-large, making them easy to press. The digital display is set up to not interfere with the analogue hands, but if you feel they are still interfering, you can temporarily adjust the hands (but I'll get to that in a few paragraphs).

GBA-900-1A6

Next up is the GBA900-1A6. While also black, this model does add quite a bit of colour, with the purple guards on the band, as well as the blue hour markers, making it easier to see the analogue time day or night.

GBA-900-4a

The GBA900-4A is next on our list, though I wouldn't blame you for thinking it's the GA800-4A since they look so similar. Unlike the GA800 though, this model has a dial at the top showing you when Bluetooth is switched on or off.

GBA-900-7A

Finally, we have the GBA900-7A. This is completely white, apart from the black background, and writing on the band.

So, that's the descriptions over with, but let's see what these babies can do?! For those of you not familiar, the B in GBA stands for Bluetooth. This already means your watch will be connected to the phone any time you wish. Unlike the G-Shock app you would usually use though, these watches need to have the app Move installed.

The Move App is specifically designed for exercise watches. With it, you can set up training plans, and keep up with your steps, past laps, and easily measure your progress. The first step in improving is to know your strengths and weaknesses, which is what the Move App will help you with!

Another great Bluetooth function is, when you connect the phone to your watch, you can be anywhere in the world, and the watch will automatically pick up the time zone, and adjust the time to what's needed.

Now, I mentioned earlier about moving the hands. That's possible thank to Casio's Hand Shift feature, which moves the hands to the 12 o'clock position, ensuring they don't get in the way when you're exercising.

An interesting feature that's usually only made available to Solar watches, the GBA900 now has a power saving mode, and an alert to let you know if your battery is close to dying. That's a great idea as it lets you prepare and get a new battery without needing to worry that your watch will stop at any second.
