The GBD-H1000 is packed with five-sensor functions. In addition to an optical sensor that can measure heart rate by detecting the blood flow under the skin, there is a triple sensor that measures altitude/barometric pressure, compass bearing, and temperature, and an acceleration sensor that measures step count and distance travelled. The new watch comes with GPS functionality that acquires location information wherever you are. By connecting the watch with a dedicated app on a smartphone, the user can manage measurement data history such as calories burned and logged travel and by analysing the measured data, the watch can display an indicator of cardiorespiratory capacity. The exterior delivers a good fit due to a curved back and has a soft urethane band. It also features a high-definition, memory-in-pixel (MIP) LCD with high-contrast, a bezel configuration that is easy to operate even without looking at the buttons, and large non-slip buttons.
