Are you looking for a smartwatch that is not afraid to go on a bear with your bare hands or challenge, for example, Rambo to a duel? Then maybe Casio's WSD-F10 is just for you.
We've been living with Android Wear for 18 months now, and we still haven't seen a truly secure device. Injustice is intended to correct the WSD-F10 watch.
Casio products can be found high in the mountains and deep in the woods, in all these people dressed in parks, and when you put on the WSD-F10, you really get the feeling that even a chance encounter with a bear will not care. Maybe you yourself want to stumble upon a bear, but this is not about that now.
The Casio catalog itself positions this watch exclusively for men. And when you zip this massive device around your wrist, you can see why right away. In general, few smartwatches have been created with an eye on women, but this is especially true for those that are made according to the MIL-STD-801G standard. They're big. They are massive. They are called WSD-F10.
And when we understand this, it becomes clear to us that we have in our hands a rather serious piece for active users.

The WSD-F10 can withstand dives up to 50m, which is much more than most of us need. The watch is tested for shock resistance. And also on moisture resistance and resistance to solar radiation, changes in altitude and temperature. And more about the protection standard – Wikipedia to help. The important thing is that the watch is designed to be worn outdoors, made to get wet and endure all kinds of shocks.
This also applies to the 1.32-inch display. You will also find built-in informative apps for walking (ah, sorry, 'tracking'), cycling and fishing. Speaking of fishing! The watch has a barometer that measures atmospheric pressure, so you don't go without a catch. There is also a compass, altimeter and the usual measurement of speed and distance. The device is preloaded with ViewRanger, MyRadar and Runkeeper.
This watch also shows the time.
All in all, this is an interesting variant of Android Wear device. It is large and massive, but this is how it was specially created. It charges through a single connector – and this is perhaps the most controversial decision. When you're chasing Yeti in the woods, the last thing you want to think about is exercise. Or is this not the right situation for this watch?
The Casio WSD-F10 will appear in April for about $ 500 and will be available in several colors: black, olive, orange and red.
