Retro Digital Tracking Watches

Casio Presents the WS-B1000 Watch with a Simplistic Design

— July 30, 2024 — Fashion
Casio introduces a look at the new WS-B1000 timepiece which is affordable at the price of $55.95. It boasts smart features including its ability to track steps and sync with the phone. The watch has a retro design for a classic look true to the brand.

Although there are no optical heart rate monitoring, OLED displays, Internet connectivity, contactless payments, or health sensors -- it still has Bluetooth technology to connect with the phone. This feature helps with tracking steps using the accelerometer. Other features include the classic stopwatch and timer functions, move reminders, alarms, and an LCD screen that is supported by a backlight button. It also works as a fitness tracker with a minimal design language.
