The Tide and Moon Phase calculator is presented in three different display modes. The activation status of various functions (DST, BlueTooth, Alarm, Signal, etc) appear in very small fonts along the bottom of the screen and in the upper left corner. The day of the week lives in the lower left corner, projected in the same font size as the date.

The GBX-100’s transflective layer (transmissive + reflective) allows illumination from a backlight to light up the display. Whereas a normal LCD depends entirely on a backlight and pixels (that refresh themselves every minute or so), a Memory In Pixel display includes an optical layer that reflects and transmits light to brighten the screen. The first thing that jumps out: the Casio’s “MIP” display. When availability trickled back I decided to see what the commotion was about. #G shock with tide graph seriesAfter its release in May 2020, the latest in Casio’s “G-Lide” series sold out quickly, garnering nearly unanimous praise on the watch forums. Since I’m neither a step-counter nor a wave-rider, I figured it wasn’t a watch for me. G-SHOCK touts the model as a watch for fitness buffs and surfers.
