I love the idea of a "smart watch", and I workout at the gym pretty much every day, so a watch like this potentially has a lot of appeal to me.
While the concept of syncing your music into playing your music from your smartphone and media players is a good idea, it actually isn't really a good idea
I like the idea of the watch, and when it works it's great
Walking and talking seems like a fine idea, but I’m sure I won’t be running and carrying on conversations.
Of course I can't believe I'm saying that since the idea of doing these things through a tiny watch would be pretty amazing twenty years ago.
In general everything is working as described and simplifies my workouts since all important data is represented in the watch without having to look at my iPhone located at my armband
Works as described by seller and manufacturer
but I don't think it really is as good as described

You can see the screws on the front, but we liked the look
Like the look of this watch - have had several earlier models of the G Force watch
Magallen Echo has a better/nicer design, and its looks might be worth twice the price for some, but it is not compatible with Runmeter
I was looking for Bluetooth enabled watch from long time, it's easy to set up once if you download APP in your mobile it will take care everything and it also works great for IPHONE 6 too.

A great product for those that don't want their phone on their hip or a headset in their ear but want to be notified of incoming calls, texts, or emails.
the worst Casio product I've got.
It is very useful and good product for that price (~30$).The bluetooth functionality is working very good
But all in all, those drawbacks do not detract from the merits of this superior-quality product
Very good and useful product, works fine and has little to no problems with the Bluetooth function.
So, if you own an iPhone and are looking for a GPS Sports Watch, download and use Runmeter (basic app is free), if you like it, go ahead and give the STB-1000 a try
The display is a little bit small then those running watch available at the market, however the great long-lasting battery (2 years!) and the concept to connect with apps (Runmeter / Wahoo Fitness etc) is great for me as i keep all my running records using iPhone app and would not like to duplicate with another set of data (that's why i don't bought another running watch in this case
More compatible apps may be available in the future, a possibility that could make this Bluetooth capable watch a potent contender
Theoretically you could see in this watch your activities tracking (time, distance, calories burned...) when using apps like Runtastic and some others with your iPhone
It only supports a few apps, and it appears that is all it ever will support, since there is no way to update it
A watch that survives a 16 year old falling in the river and keeps time well
As a digital watch with the usual features (stop watch, world/multiple time zones, alarms, 12/24 hour format etc) Casio excels - as always
Like I said, I do not think this is ready for primetime, I would not recommend this, I spend more time trying to get it to connect than I do
Display is nice - has date, time, day of week on normal
Some examples of data items that can be displayed on the watch are: exercise time, speed, pace, temperature, humidity, split time, interval time, clock, heart rate, maximum heart rate, and calories.
When it has came down to what Casio has done in watches, it has really been more definitive with the G-Shock watches, and not much from making their own simple designs away
You can also get phone and push notifications to your watch, which may or may not be a selling point (it wasn't for me.)During runs, I tried to do things like control songs being played and it worked ok, but on a busy lakefront bike path, the more time I spend playing with my wrist the more likely I am to trip/fall
The cool thing about syncing this with your iPhone is that it automatically sets the time, so you don't have to do it manually
The first thing I noticed about the watch is the design, similar to the G-Shock Rescue series, particularly the 4 screws, I really like that look.
The really nice thing is it picks up the time from your phone, so no more +
