Casio's G-Shock GB-6900 watch was originally set to roll out sometime this year but, according to TechCrunch, the company was forced to delay its release to due to shortages resulting from the Thailand floods.
Now it looks like you'll be able to finally pick one up on March 16th of year 2012 -- at least in Japan, where it's set to run ¥18,000 (or about $230). Of course, we wouldn't be covering this if it was just an ordinary G-Shock watch.
The key feature here is Bluetooth LE connectivity (part of the Bluetooth 4.0 spec), which consumes far less power than other Bluetooth variations, and allows the watch to communicate with your iPhone (or any other smartphone). That tiny display will let you see incoming calls, emails and text messages, and control some basic features like your phone's ringer or alarm.
