Casio is best known for its rugged G-Shock series of watches. While some offer smart functionality, they are more popular for their classic/analogue watches. So if you want a few more modern features, we have compiled a short list of three smartwatches with a Casio G-Shock like design.

Amazfit Active Edge

Amazfit unveiled the Active Edge in early 2024 with a bunch of smart features. Right off the bat, you can see that the Active Edge is a smartwatch with a rugged design true to its name. ‘Active’ in smartwatches usually implies outdoor or sporty and the brand’s Active Edge fits perfect with its rugged design. It sports a 1.32-inch circular LCD display with 10 ATM water resistance. This makes it perfect for diving up to 100 meters.

You also get support for over 130 sports modes, including automatic detection for seven activities, including outdoor and indoor running, walking, outdoor cycling, and elliptical training, along with auto-detection for 25 strength exercises. Thanks to the BioTracker PPG biometric sensor, users get access to heart rate, blood oxygen, sleep, and stress tracking as well. It was announced in India for Rs 12,999 while the global price is set for $140.
