There's a built-in miniature sensor that takes measurements of compass bearing, altitude, barometric pressure, and temperature. The additional acceleration sensor measures step count and distance travel. There's built-in GPS functionality for better measurement and a vibration notification function allows for users to get alerts regarding Bluetooth-connected smartphone calls, emails, and messages.

Apart from this, the device can be charged via a USB port at the back. The company notes that 2.5 hours of charging can allow the watch to last for up to 14 hours. As mentioned, the G-Shock G-Squad GBD-H1000 supports 20-bar water resistance and can survive 200m under water.
