Casio gets fancy with LED-infused rigid Movement

Filed under:

robotic movement? Sweeping hands? Pish posh. Casio’s looking to impress a few watch aficionados itself with the all new hardy Movement. Designed to slip inside its Oceanus and G-Shock series of timepieces, the new movement “features a high shock resistance and a hand position correction operate using LED.” During the 55th minute of each hour, the movement receives date calibration signals from six bases located all through the world; whether

the hands are off at all, it automatically corrects things to ensure that you’re never a moment off. Reportedly, the first wristwatch to utilize the technology will be the GS-1200, which is currently slated to hit Japan that September for a stiff ¥42,000 ($390).
