Watch Features
Dual-layer Display for Improved Readability
Your watch comes with a dual-layer color and monochrome display. The
monochrome display provides a high level of information readability in
sunlight, along with low-power operation. The monochrome display is
designed to show a greater amount of information (compared with previous
CASIO products).
Heart Rate Monitor
The watch can be used to monitor your approximate heart rate while you are
wearing it. You can view your current heart rate as well as your specified heart
rate zone*1 on the “Heart Rate” watch face, or by using the Activity app.
*1 To display the heart rate zone, you need to use initial settings to specify
a resting heart rate and maximum heart rate.
Powered with Wear OS by Google
Google, Android, Wear OS by Google, Google Play and other related marks
and logos are trademarks of Google LLC.
Wear OS by Google works with phones running AndroidTM 4.4+ (excluding
Go edition) or iOS 10+. Supported features may vary between platforms and
countries.
Five-atmosphere Water Resistance + MIL-STD*2
Even though this watch has a built-in voice recognition microphone, it still is
water resistant up to five atmospheres. This means you can wear your watch
while swimming, fishing, etc. MIL-STD-810G standard environment
resistance allows you to wear your watch while engaged in a variety of
vigorous outdoor activities, including: trail running, mountain climbing, cycle
sports, fishing, and more.
*2 United States Department of Defense Military Standard
EN-4

Built-in GPS
This watch has GPS*3 built in, and you can acquire location information
without connecting with a phone. The watch itself can display a map*4 of your
current location, measure and record data for a variety of activities, and more.
*3 In addition to GPS (U.S.), your watch also supports GLONASS (Russia)
and QZSS (Japan) positioning. This manual uses “GPS” to refer to all of
the above positioning systems.
*4 To display the map when you do not have a smartphone, you need to have
the map data downloaded beforehand.
Three Side Buttons Designed for Sure Operation
The three side buttons are designed for sure operation even when outdoors.
Apps can be freely assigned to the MAP button and the APP button.
EN-5

Measurement Functions
Your watch can take barometric pressure, altitude, bearing, and other
readings. Its built-in watch faces and applications can use readings for display
and other useful functions. Note that this watch is not a special purpose
measuring instrument. Readings produced by measurement functions are
intended as general reference information only.
Compass (Bearing Measurement)
For serious mountain climbing and other activities that require accurate
bearing readings, take along a highly reliable compass to use in combination
with the watch’s compass.
Important!
●Note that accurate compass readings and/or correction will not be possible
in the areas described below.
ーIn the vicinity of a permanent magnet (magnetic accessory, etc.), metal
objects, high-voltage wires, aerial wires, or electrical household
appliances (TV, computer, cellphone, etc.)
ーOn trains, on boats, on aircraft, etc.
ーIndoors, especially inside of reinforced concrete structures.
EN-6

Altimeter, Barometer
The watch’s Altimeter uses a pressure sensor to measure barometric
pressure, and then calculates and displays relative altitude based on the
measured value. Because of this, readings taken at different times at the
same location may produce different altitude values due to changes in
temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, and other factors. Also note that
values displayed by the watch may be different from elevations indicated for
areas where you are located. When using the watch’s altimeter while
mountain climbing, it is recommended that you perform regular correction in
accordance with the local altitude (elevation) indications.
Tide Graph (Graphic Display of Tide Information)
The Tide Graph feature of your watch is intended to provide a rough image
of current tide conditions. Do not use its tide information for navigation
purposes. For navigation purposes, be sure to use official tide charts issued
by a reliable agency or authority for the area you are navigating.

To measure your resting heart rate
1. Make sure you are in either of the relaxed states

fold (A), wrist tendon (B), and the bone on the side of your wrist (C),
as shown in Figure 2.
