Casio Pro Trek Smart WSD-F20 review
There’s an identical 1.32-inch dual layer LCD colour touchscreen display with a 320 x 300 resolution that does have that rather unsightly black bar at the bottom that we’ve seen ruin other Android Wear smartwatches. It’s certainly not the sharpest… Read More ›

Now, if you’re going to be named for the leaders of shock troops commanded by “the crimson demon of war,” you’d better measure up in the toughness department, which the MRG-G1000B-1A4 certainly does. The case and bracelet are titanium, which… Read More ›
