	Wed, 04 Jan 2012

	Casio is set to unveil its new line of G-Shock Watch Series that was designed to be smartphone ready, starting on March 16th. Originally the Casio G-Shock GB-6900 series of watches was expected to be available sometime last year after it was spotted at the FCC getting a thoroughly inspection back in July. According to an article by TechCrunch, the company was forced to delay the release due to shortages from the floods that ravaged Thailand. For the first time we will be seeing a G-Shock Watch with Bluetooth LE Connectivity (LE=low-energy, a standard that’s baked into Bluetooth 4.0) which is said to consume way less power that other Bluetooth variations, with its Bluetooth connectivity, the G-Shock GB-6900 series will be available to communicate with your smartphone and alert you when there’s an incoming call, email, text message and will even control some of your smartphone’s basic functions such as its alarm and ringer.
