Welcome, old and new, to the exciting world of Casio Watches!

As you can tell from our previous articles, I’m here today to make your choices just that little bit easier.

It can be very daunting trying to pick a new watch, and sometimes the sheer number of features can leave you overwhelmed. That’s why we’ve written up this selection of articles.

So, let’s get to it. The range we'll be talking about today is the G-Lide range. Also known as the Extreme Sports model of watches, this is an active person's dream watch!

Apart from the usual Shock resistance, meaning the watch can be jostled and bounced, while still being protected from up to 100m of force, this watch has 20 bars/200m water resistance. Now, as mentioned in a previous article, that does not mean you can dive 200m, it just means it’s resistant to the pressure of 200m of water.

Now, here’s the bit all water lovers are going to love: all G-Lide watches come with a tide graph. This lets you predict how high the tide is, as well as the direction it’ll go in, on any particular day. That is absolutely invaluable for when you’re practicing for that next big race, or just want to hit the waves!

The G-Lides don’t stop there. They’ve also got a moon data tool. Now, this is a nifty little tool that tells you the phase of the moon, when you can expect a full/new moon, and it can also be helpful with the Tide Graph to determine just what sort of an effect it will have on the tide.

The moon data tool isn’t just for the athletes though. Nature photographers are going to love this feature as well, since sometimes they need to be exactly in the right area, and have the right kind of light, to be able to know when it’s a waning moon, when it’ll be a full moon, etc, it’s extremely important information to know!

So, there you have it. If you’re into extreme sports, you don’t need to worry about this watch breaking, if you’re into nature photography, the moon data tool is invaluable, and if you love the water you’ll find a lot of use for the Tide Graph!
