Casio’s rugged Android Wear watch goes on sale March 25 for $500

If you've been dying for an Android Wear watch that can withstand the most treacherous adventures, your search ends soon. Casio announced that its rugged Android Wear smartwatch, the Smart Outdoor Watch WSD-F10, will be available to purchase on March 25 at its website, Amazon, Rei, and Google's online store.

Casio first unveiled the WSD-F10 at CES and made it clear that the company isn't targeting the majority of people interested in Android Wear. The WSD-F10 is made specifically for the most outdoorsy users, featuring a 1.3-inch, 320 x 320-pixel dual-layer LCD display designed to be readable even in bright sunlight and a fairly chunky case that's water-resistant up to 50 meters. The case is also military-tested to withstand shocks, vibrations, and other disturbances that could come while trekking in the wilderness.

The watch will include an app called Tools that provides nature-based updates including sunrise and sunset times, altitude and atmospheric pressure measurements, and tide graphs. These stats are meant to help adventurers on their trips, as are the physical buttons on the side of the device that can be used to control the watch even while wearing gloves. In addition to the standard features of Android Wear, you'll also be able to track basic fitness including steps and distance and specific-activities like trekking (hiking), cycling, and fishing.
