Smartwatches have evolved dramatically in recent years. They've become so popular that they're not just used by gadget enthusiasts, but by seniors too, using them to manage their health. Casio's smartwatches, in particular, are so functional that they're favored by professional athletes. In this article, we'll introduce Casio's unique features, recommended collections, and models.
Features of Casio smartwatches
While all smartwatches may look the same, each brand has its own unique features and functions. Let's start by looking at the four features of Casio's smartwatches.
smartphone link
As the name suggests, "Smartphone Link" is a function that connects the watch to a smartphone. When the watch is connected to a smartphone via Bluetooth, the time is automatically corrected four times a day. When crossing time zones, such as when traveling abroad on a business trip, the local time can be displayed with just one push of a button.
In addition, watch functions such as setting alarms and timers can be controlled from a smartphone, freeing users from the hassle of having to configure the watch itself, allowing for smooth operation.
Solar charging (Tough Solar)
Equipped with a "solar charging" system called Tough Solar, it absorbs sunlight as well as even faint light from fluorescent lamps and converts it into power. Six solar films are connected together to ensure even light reception. When used in conjunction with a rechargeable battery, it ensures stable operation of all smartwatch functions.
Mobile link function
The "Mobile Link" function is similar to the Smartphone Link function. Using a system called the "Accurate Time System," time servers around the world are accessed via the smartphone.
By connecting to a dedicated mobile app, the smartphone receives GPS satellite signals and sends the current latitude and longitude information to the watch. It also has a variety of functions that are useful for outdoor activities such as hiking and camping, such as calculating sunrise and sunset times.
Wear OS by Google (OS included)
"Wear OS" is an operating system that is compatible with both Android and iPhone. By pairing it with a smartphone, you can check and reply to messages, emails, and incoming calls received on your smartphone. In addition, you can reply, like, and retweet on Twitter.
Other convenient features that fit into daily life include contactless payment using Google Pay, navigation functions, and health management using health apps.
