what's up guys Lew here from unbox therapy and one of the cooler items I got to take a first look at down at CES 2012 is this g-shock watch in front of me yes it looks like a regular casio g-shock but believe me it is not it's still rugged and tough but it's also very smart it is bluetooth enabled with the latest Bluetooth 4.0 criteria and what that means is you're going to get some real smart functionality out of this watch now first and foremost the model number is GB or model named GB - 6900 and that Bluetooth functionality is going to allow it to interface with your phone your smart phone and that's going to give you all kinds of extra features you never would have expected to get out of your watch now there are other smart watches on the market but most of them are pretty battery hungry and they require you to you know charge them up all the time this one is going to have incoming call alert just like some of those other ones but it has a slightly different approach to call alert so first things first if it's in your briefcase your phone that is or backpack or something along those lines or on silent not only are you going to see that you're getting a call coming through but you're also going to see the name of the individual so you can sort of edit you know your your callers and decide if you want to answer it or not depending on what you're doing and then all you have to do is tap the watch so say for example it's on silent buzzing away in your pocket or something along those lines you just have to watch and that will then silence the phone it's also got the same idea for text messages etc on top of that you can use this functionality called phone finder and so if you misplace your phone or you know you even if you just want to speed up the process of finding where it is in your house you can actually use the watch to ring the phone and even if I believe even if the phone is on silent or something along those lines it'll make an independent tone unlike the one that you would get for a phone call or something along those lines much higher pitch so you can track down your phone and get on with your day it's also got something this is one of the coolest features the out of range warning so if you put your phone down somewhere somebody interrupts you you move in a specific direction away from your phone the g-shock will tell you that you're moving too far from it and remind you that you've forgotten it so you turn around go grab it and you don't lose your phone or leave it somewhere I've had a couple buddies of mine not going to name any names who have left their bone in certain places bars and stuff like that now here's the coolest part it uses a single lithium battery and with the Bluetooth 4 Oh incredibly low energy consumption you're going to get two years of usage at 12 hours of use per day that's crazy talk in comparison to other smartwatches that are currently on the market that need to be charged almost daily or even weekly for that matter it's a little bit inconvenient to have to remember to keep your watch charged along with your smartphone blah blah blah this has also cut something built-in called emergency alert this is if you are filling up a glass of water and you just collapsed for no apparent reason I'm just kidding obviously this is for senior citizens and stuff like that or anybody who's super paranoid you just press a single button on your watch it'll link back up to your phone no matter where that is in the house and call out to the emergency services it's also got Auto login and logout and I don't know how useful this one is because obviously if somebody had your watch or your watch was nearby your computer and you didn't remember that it was anybody would have access but in an office environment it's pretty cool because you're watching coming off your wrist and how that works is if you walk away from your computer to automatically lock you out and then lock you back in when you arrive back to it so that might be useful for certain people anyway guys I'm really impressed with this particular g-shock here I can't wait till it becomes readily available on the market I'm definitely going to buy one show you guys what it's all about and it was very cool to take a first look at it get a quick glimpse at it at CES 2012 anyway guys if you enjoyed this content hopefully you can like and favorite this video as it does help me out a bunch and I do want to thank everybody who is subscribed to the channel for supporting what we do over here it makes this content possible anyway guys until the next video I will see you around a channel okay later
