Tokyo, September 1, 2014 — Casio Computer Co., Ltd., announced today the release of the latest addition to the G-SHOCK line of shock-resistant watches. The G-SHOCK GBA-400 watch offers a variety of ways to enjoy music by pairing with a smartphone, such as setting audio controls, adding live effects that simulate concert sound and identifying the names of songs from music playing nearby.*1

In 2012, Casio released a G-SHOCK watch that pairs to a smartphone using Bluetooth®Smart technology, notifying the wearer of incoming calls or emails. Since then, Casio has released a variety of Bluetooth®Smart enabled watches including a G-SHOCK watch that controls a music player and sports watches that display fitness data.
The new G-SHOCK GBA-400 watch supports Bluetooth®Smart connectivity and offers greatly enhanced features for enjoying music *2
when paired with G'MIX App, a new music app for smartphones that can
control audio settings, add live effects that simulate concert sound,
and identify the names of songs from music playing nearby and then
display the song title on the digital display *3
of the G-SHOCK watch. Song identification can be triggered remotely by
turning the rotary switch on the watch, without having to touch the
smartphone. By operating the watch buttons, the user can trigger preset
or customized tones on a paired smartphone—just one of the ways the
watch enables users to play with sound and enjoy listening to and
identifying music.
