Prominent features include Multi-Band 6 atomic timekeeping which provides unparalleled accuracy by syncing with global atomic clocks, and Tough Solar charging system to harness the light to power the watch indefinitely. This elevated technology makes battery replacements unnecessary and as a result extends the life of the timepiece. Bluetooth connectivity provides seamless integration with smartphones for automatic time adjustments and world time updates, features that are important for those constantly on the go. The rugged aesthetic remains integral to this G-Shock release, yet the watch is wearable and extremely slim, making it the perfect accessory for weekend adventure or formal occasions.
