Passionate about making complex topics accessible and engaging.G-Shock GWR-B3000 can fix its hands after a hard impactThe most interesting feature of the new GravityMaster is its ability to correct itself after an impact. Casio’s TOUGH MVT.2 movement can detect when a shock causes the analogue hands to move out of their correct positions and automatically realign them.That means users do not have to manually recalibrate the watch after a heavy knock or take it to a service centre just to correct the hands. For a watch designed around aviation and outdoor use, this could be particularly useful.The movement also detects strong magnetic fields. When it senses magnetic interference, it temporarily stops the hands to help prevent them from losing their accuracy. Once the interference is gone, the hands resume operation.Casio has paired this movement with its usual accuracy and convenience features. The GWR-B3000 supports Tough Solar charging, Multiband 6 radio-controlled timekeeping and Bluetooth Smartphone Link, allowing users to connect the watch to a smartphone for settings and other functions.Carbon-fibre construction with Casio's Supersonic designThe design of the GWR-B3000 resembles that of Casio's Supersonic watch, which includes a dial that takes inspiration from airplanes. The dark dial and its texture are supposed to increase contrast and legibility. Moreover, the sapphire crystal on the watch has been covered with an anti-reflective coating.Durability is one of the primary concerns for the design of GravityMaster. It incorporates Casio's proprietary technology, called the Triple G Resist, which protects the watch from shocks, centrifugal force and vibrations.More articles by AuthorTrending StoriesThe watch case comprises a structure made of resin reinforced with carbon fiber and steel elements. Besides that, Casio has used topology engineering to eliminate unnecessary material, preserving durability and reducing the weight of the device.Bio-based resin has been used in parts of the centre case and band as well, adding a more sustainable material to the construction.Built for travel and aviationThe GWR-B3000 is equipped with additional functions that are suitable for those traveling in various time zones. The two-clock world time mode helps people track different time zones, and the UTC button is available for the reference of Coordinated Universal Time used in aviation.The connected smartphone features add another layer of convenience. Phone Finder can help users locate a connected smartphone, while Flight Log records departure and arrival locations.These features do not turn the GWR-B3000 into a navigation device, but they make it more useful as a dedicated travel and aviation watch.G-Shock GWR-B3000 India price and variantsCasio is offering the GravityMaster GWR-B3000 in three variants in India.
