This operating system is tweaked a bit for each device it is on, and in the G-Lide GBX100 includes some special screens for the tide charts and moon phase information. This is the third Casio product I have reviewed that includes the Japanese company’s still-fresh updated operating system that features a more detailed MIP (memory in every pixel) LCD screen, along with an operating system entirely different from what is running on classic G-Shock devices. It isn’t a full-on smartwatch, as it doesn’t need to be re-charged regularly, and it doesn’t have a lot of applications running on it, but it marries the best of what the G-Lide has to offer with modern connectivity and features that consumers expect. This sets the stage for Casio’s newly updated G-Shock G-Lide watch collection (GBX100 family) whose beautiful new form includes both a new screen and a new operating system that has Bluetooth connectivity. That said, the most effective tide chart watches are digital, and if they can be married to relevant data available via the Internet, then all the better. Even the luxury names have played with mechanical tide charts or moon phase indicators specifically designed for being around the ocean. Casio and a slew of other digital watchmakers have been playing with a variety of tide chart watches for a while. Anyone who spends enough time at the beach implicitly knows that their experience will vary depending on the tides, and if they are a surfer, their entire enjoyment depends on tracking the tides. If you are lucky, then water means the ocean. It’s summertime and, depending on where you live in the world, that could mean a lot of time spent in the water.
