Take it to the waves with the GBX-100 smartphone-linked timepiece inspired by natural beach colours. From the G-LIDE sports line for the world’s top surfers and extreme sports fans. Just select one of 3,300 surf spots around the world on the dedicated smartphone app and send tide patterns, daylight conditions, and other location-specific information to the watch.

The wide watch face with high-resolution Memory in Pixel (MIP) LCD provides the same clear readings of tide graphs and moon age as previous models, as well as high/low tide times and levels, and sunrise/sunset times — all at a glance. Surfers who compete in tough competitions around the world appreciate both training and surfing functionality. The GBX-100 tracks distance traveled, pace, laps, and cadence, as well as a whole range of surfing metrics, all delivered straight to your wrist. The bezel, a fusion of resin and metal, is designed for distinction.

Contrasting honing and hairline finishes on the stainless-steel upper bezel add the final touch to a sporting timepiece that delivers both strength and a sharp, elegant look. With unstable environments in mind, the watch features a resin guard structure to withstand impact from above, below, and both sides, as well as a guard structure for the button at the 6 o’clock position, to deliver all the shock resistance you expect from a G-SHOCK. The band is made of soft bio-based urethane with a slit at the base of the 6 o’clock position, for a better fit and the water and sweat runoff that makes for comfortable wearability so you can concentrate on riding the waves. Choose your favourite G-LIDE in one of two natural beachy colours — the beautiful blue of the ocean or the soft sandy beige of the beach.
