A while ago, we showcased the GA-700 series. Well, Casio wasn’t happy to just coast on its success, and has come up with an upgrade for this budget model. Introducing the GA-710 series!

GA-710-1A

This series has three models. The black GA-710-1A, the black and blue GA-710-1A2 and the black and gold GA-710GB-1A. Each watch is analogue/digital, with a garish colour scheme, making it easy to spot even in the dark due to the glint they give off. That’s because the band and body of the watch is half matte, half sheen.

 

Both the analogue and digital parts have a very large display area. It’s easy to read no matter what you focus on. However, if you feel the hands are getting in the way of the digital screen, simply press a button and the hands will move for a small amount of time. After a while, the hands will come back, so you don’t need to do anything else.

 

When it comes to analogue/digital combos, there’s been one complaint from pretty much everybody that buys them: The backlight is too dull. To take care of this issue, Casio added a super illuminator, so both the analogue and digital screens can be easily read at night. To turn on the backlight, simply press the metallic button just below the display. It’s out of the way so you don’t accidentally press it.

 

One new feature exclusive to the GA-710s is the target time alarm in the stopwatch. What this means is, you can set a time limit for your jog (or even for doing exams), and when the watch gets to the time limit, it’ll start making noise. That’s a great way for you to practice!

 

The GA-710 series is coming soon to BuyWatchesOnline!

 

Until Next Time
