There's something about summer. The fresh air. The hot sun. And the ability to dive up to 50 meters with your MIL-STD-810G smartwatch.
In his latest video, MrMobile reviews the Casio Smart Outdoor Watch — also known as the WSD-F10 — an Android Wear smartwatch that can go pretty much anywhere, and withstand pretty much anything. While it lacks some key fitness features, like heart rate and GPS, it has everything a hiker — or diver — could want, including directional, atmospheric, accelerometer, and gyrometer sensors.
But at $500, is it worth the expense?

MrMobile reviews the smartwatch on steroids — Casio's WSD-F10
If this watch was targeted for outdoor active ppl, they missed badly:
Small battery? Look how big that thing is lol, no GPS? No heart rate sensor? Lol comon now, no ambient light sensor?and on top of that you charge 500$?

I would have never guessed something as big as this has such battery life. Casio tried, is what I'm getting out of this review.
Go home Casio, you're drunk lol

Ouch on the price!
All I saw in the article was "$500.00"
Fail...
Waiting for the Nixon or Google ones this fall myself. Until then I'll be fine with my 360 Sport, the OG 360 is in the drawer. Love the screen on the Sport.

My OG Moto 360 crapped out on me so I'm waiting on that Nixon-Mission watch myself. I don't think Google's watches will be rugged but we will see.
I'm fine with my first gen moto

Only the best tech video reviewer out there.
I have one and really like it. Not a big outdoorsy athlete. I just like the look and durability.
Nixon one looks great too.
I'm hoping that Nixon hits it out of the park with the Mission watch.
Aside from the other shortcomings,how do you not have GPS in a ruggedized outdoorsy watch?

You can get two much better smart watches for the price of this...

No GPS?
Outdoor?
Really?
$500?
Man, I love so much about this watch, yet it falls so short in so many basic areas. I think waiting for the second gen is spot on, great idea with lacking execution.
The color reminds me of the old Casio Gzone phone that I had before the smartphone boom.

Thank you MrMobile for taking the time to review this Smart Watch. With so many choices available, this one was somehow overlooked. Missing a few things... Yes. But there is a whole lot Casio has got right here. I'm hoping the second gen is a home run...

I have one and I do not regret buying it. Fact is that I charge the battery every 3 days with regular use or every 2 days with intense use of the screen. When I turn it off at night, I get 5 days on the battery. My friends with Apple watch must charge daily.
I got one earlier this summer, and have to say, I'm really happy with it! I have a Huawei watch as well, and almost never wear the hwatch anymore... (Mainly due to the dual layer display and water resistance, I can wear and use the Casio anywhere ((even surfing))).
If anyone is really interested in the Casio, Macy's sells them, and at least when I got mine, if you create a Macy's account (just email promotions) they give you a 15% coupon which drops the price to $425. They will also give you $40 in limited time Macy's cash or something like that, so you could get a shirt or whatever too... Knocks the edge off some.
And I have to say, battery is actually pretty decent too, at least for me. I get consistently 2-3 days between charges with very regular use.
