G-SHOCK G-Lide GBX-100S Watch

August 28, 20251 min read

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.
