Is the G-Shock Verte good for swimming?

Yes. It is rated water resistant to 200 m, which covers swimming, the sea and showers. The nylon strap will stay wet longer than a resin or steel bracelet, so rinse and dry it after salt water.

How does it differ from a standard G-Shock?

The main difference is the brushed steel case and military-green nylon strap instead of the usual resin case and strap. The core G-Shock shock resistance and 200 m water resistance carry over.

Is the steel case heavy on the wrist?

Steel is denser than resin, so it weighs more than a basic resin G-Shock. The nylon strap keeps the overall package lighter than an all-steel bracelet model.

Can the nylon strap be replaced?

G-Shock straps are generally replaceable with the correct lug width, but this customized edition may use a non-standard fitting. Check the lug width before buying a replacement.

Does it have Bluetooth or smart features?

No smart features are listed. It is a standard analog-digital G-Shock module, so expect timekeeping, alarms and the usual G-Shock functions rather than app connectivity.
