Every man has an inner athlete. For most of us, he’s fast asleep on the sofa, but the ambition is there. For that very man, G-SHOCK has created the G-Lide GBX-100S, a watch so packed with performance tech it might just guilt you into going for a run.



Built for surfers, this rugged beast will tell you the tide times, moon data, and sunrise/sunset, which is perfect for timing your paddleboard session… or simply avoiding a wet walk on the beach. It connects to your phone via Bluetooth®, automatically syncing your workouts to STRAVA. This means you can bore your mates with precise data from that one time you jogged back from the pub. With a ridiculously clear MIP display you can actually read in the August sun, 200 metres of water resistance, and a two-year battery life, it’s tougher and more reliable than your new year’s resolutions.


Now, the crushing news. After tempting you with all this wrist-based brilliance, G-SHOCK has decided this model only ships to the USA. A tragedy, we know. But look on the bright side: for $170, it’s the perfect excuse to finally befriend your American cousin or book that long-overdue trip to Miami. The G-Lide GBX-100S: tough, smart, and frustratingly out of reach. The quest begins.
