Casio launches Android Wear smartwatch that lasts a month per charge

Rugged smartwatch is water resistamt and shockproofed to military standards with two displays, extra buttons, pressure sensors and compass

Casio has launched the G-shock of smartwatches with its first Android Wear device that can last a month between charges.

The Smart Outdoor Watch, which was launched at CES 2016 in Las Vegas, is the first true smartwatch aimed at the outdoors that can run apps but is waterproof and shockproof to US military MIL-STD-810 standards. That means the watch will be fine in water up to 50m deep - most smartwatches can manage up to 1.5m - and will probably survive a tumble down a rocky outcrop.
