Why Use a G-SHOCK Watch for Fitness Tracking?

We have a wide range of G-SHOCK sports watches with features such as a heart rate monitor, step tracker, calories burned, GPS, stopwatch, and 20-bar water resistance, making them versatile for casual users and athletes.

Wearing a G-SHOCK watch during your workouts gives you a durable and reliable device that can handle various activities, such as running, swimming, cycling and gym workouts.

Essential Fitness Features of G-SHOCK Watches

Heart Rate Monitoring:

A heart rate monitor keeps you in your target zone for optimal workout results and monitors your heart health over time. It displays your current heart rate and exercise intensity across five stages and calculates your VO2max to track cardiovascular fitness improvements, using your heart rate and running speed.

Step Counter:

Designed to monitor your daily physical activity levels. This features a step count display range of 0 to 999,999, and uses a 3-axis acceleration sensor for precise tracking. With this feature, you can review your daily or weekly activity history, set step goals, and receive step reminders to help you stay on track with your health and fitness goals.

Calorie Tracking:

Tracking how many calories you burn helps with weight management and reaching your fitness goals. Accurate data from an accelerometer determines how much energy you've used. With this information, you can make better choices about your diet and exercise plan to get the best results.

GPS Tracking:

GPS technology boosts outdoor activities such as running, hiking, and cycling by leveraging satellite signals to measure position, distance, and speed accurately. This offers precise data for route planning, performance analysis, and training adjustments. G-SHOCK Sport watches use GPS, QZSS, Galileo, Beidou, GLONASS satellites for precise & reliable tracking around the world.

Make sure your GPS is activated and has a strong signal before starting your ride. Monitor your heart rate to stay in your optimal training zone, and cadence tracking to maintain an efficient pedaling pace.

Swimming:

Take your swimming sessions to the next level with the advanced lap counting feature, which uses built-in sensors to automatically detect your stroke and record each turn at the pool wall. With 200 meters water resistance, you can use it worry-free underwater.

When you're weight training, set timers to rest between sets and keep track of your calories to see how much energy you're using, which helps you tweak your diet for better results.
