G-Shock expands elite MR-G range with Bluetooth support for uber-precise timekeeping

G-Shock has updated its elite MR-G range of premium watches with a new bluetooth connected model that promises to combine “extreme toughness with sophisticated design.” Although it could probably use a catchier name, the new MRG-B1000D-1AER (£2,200) impresses elsewhere, and manages to squash all the original technology of its predecessors into a new miniaturised case structure that’s compact and sleek. It’s also a bit of a looker in monocrome set against subtle pops of colour. By far the standout feature, however, is its ability to receive time calibration signals via a bluetooth connection to maintain an impeccably precise time setting. It’s a neat touch that should mean you’re never late again – assuming you possess the inhuman ability to actually roll out of bed on time.

About

I’m a freelance games and technology journalist currently mashing my keyboard in the name of fine institutions like Stuff, where you'll usually find me waxing lyrical about the latest mobile morsels. I've also been known to cook up some decidedly delicious reviews from time to time, and was once dubbed 'the games industry's answer to Nigella Lawson' by someone probably somewhere.
