How do you use G-Shock’s advanced fitness watch, the GBD-H2000? In this video, I stretch the limitations of my high double digit I.Q. to provide you, the viewer, with an in-depth rundown. I demonstrate how to navigate the watch with the buttons. I show you the basic watch functions and the special pre-programmed exercises.
Keep in mind that at this point I had not even hooked the watch up to bluetooth so there’s even more to the watch than shown in this video.
Do you want a written rundown to my rundown video? Okay. But we’ll need some help from Google Gemini. It’s an artificial intelligence that can summarize this video transcript because I certainly don’t have the time to type all that. Here it is:

Update
The particular model I bought is exclusive to Amazon. You can buy it by clicking here to use my affiliate link. This GBD-H2000 is all blacked out.
If you want to purchase a GBD-H2000 directly from G-Shock click here. You can rack up some rewards points by buying from them. Be aware that the standard version has red accents so it looks a little different from the one I wore in this video.
Anyways, for those of you who watched both the video and read the summary, how did the Artificial Intelligence do?
