What we like in G-B001 *comments by experts with 10 years experience in writing about Casio watches
— Mobile link (Wireless linking using Bluetooth(R)) (for time sync with your phone data)
CASIO WATCH App (you may manage all watch settings through your phone)
Capsule Design (capsule-like back cover and resin enclosure to protect against impact)
Carbon Core Guard Structure (protects the module with a carbon case. Highly durable carbon fiber-reinforced resin is added not only to the center case, but also to the front and side button guards, providing even stronger resistance to shocks from above or below, or from any side)
Detachable band and bezel (easy replacement with special tool included in package)
200-meter water resistance (good for swimming but not for deep diving)
Super Illuminator (LED light for digital display)

Official Casio Description.

The DW-001 hit the scene in 1994, featuring the Capsule Tough design concept. Casio now introduces a new evolution of the watch driven by leading-edge technologies, featuring the Carbon Core Guard structure, a metal-clad exterior, and Smartphone Link functionality. On top of all this, the detachable urethane bezel provides a playful touch, offering the choice between two bezels — metal or urethane. A reimagined form of Capsule Tough has arrived, maintaining the design of the original while taking on a fresh new character all its own.
