The watch has a built-in 3-axis accelerometer that counts the steps you take and indicates the numbers on the display. The watch can be wirelessly connected to a compatible smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth. The energy-saving technology enables access to a host of functions. I’ve spent a couple of days wearing the Watch GS Pro to see if it deserves to take up my valuable wrist real estate
It’s another Casio watch that benefits from the watchmaker’s new partnership with sports watch brand Polar, offering the kind of training and recovery insights the Finnish outfit offers on watches like the Polar Pacer Pro and its Vantage series.

Pre-set alarm or timer functions remain active. There are also some notable differences from the GBD-H2000. The DW-H5600 supports four activities (versus eight for the GBD-H2000): running, walking, gym workout, and interval timer. It does not have GPS or the environmental Triple Sensor combo of the GBD-H2000, but it does have the almanac functions of sunrise and sunset time display and moon data with moon age and shape display.The watch battery is rechargeable with the included proprietary USB cable or by solar. This is not a “Tough Solar” watch, so it cannot be fully powered by solar if all the functions are used regularly, but the time display can be driven by solar alone. The wired charging time is approximately three hours, and a full charge will last about a week when used for about one hour per day, according to Casio. On a full charge without further solar charging, the watch will run for about 35 hours in activity mode with the heart rate monitor on. In watch mode with the hear rate monitor turned off, the battery life is approximately one month, and with power saving on, it is about 11 months. Training Analysis- Training status, fitness level trend, training load trend, VO2MAX, recovery time, Wrist Heart Rate Measurement (maximum measurement value: 220 bpm) Heart rate, target heart rate setting, heart rate zone graphic indication, heart rate graph, maximum heart rate, minimum heart rate This isn’t the first Casio and Polar collab and likely won’t be the last, so has the union of an iconic watch with one of the big sports watch players paid off? Here’s my take. Design and screen The H5600 continues Casio’s partnership with Polar, and the activity brand adds its data expertise to the watch and app’s software. The heart rate sensor’s results mostly match other devices, showing the same average heart rate count during a workout as the Oura Ring, but it can count a higher maximum, which has resulted in a slightly higher calorie burn than the Oura or the Apple Watch Series 8. None match each other exactly, but none are medical devices, so this is expected.
Note: While an interval timer is not listed in the Casio specifications, there is an interval timer as part of the fitness functions, with up to five individual timers that can auto-repeat up to 10 times. We also noticed that the GBD-H2000 specifications were changed and do not list the interval timer, although it does have the interval timer function like the DW-H5600.) Elapsed time, split time and final time are measured with 1/100-sec accuracy. The watch can measure times of up to 100 hours. VO2max Measurement- Uses heart rate and running speed to calculate the maximum consumable oxygen uptake per kilogram of bodyweight in one minute (ml/kg/min)Compass, Heart Rate Monitor, Pressure (Altimeter and Barometer), Step Counter, Thermometer, Gyroscope, Triple Sensor
