I see others have mentioned Amazfit but this is an important comparison.

The G-Shock range is famed for being simple, robust, and inexpensive, with epic battery life.

This is expensive, complex and has a poor battery life.

My 5YO Amazfit Bip was £60 new, still lasts a month on a charge even though used daily since 2018, can show notifications, screen and reject or take calls, and monitor my heart rate (badly) for 6 weeks when new. It has a daylight-readable full-colour display.

Yes, if I turn on activity tracking, it burns through a charge in days, but I rarely do.

I expected Casio to match or exceed that. This fails on all points.
