Verizon Wireless today announced the Casio G'zOne Commando 4G LTE, an update to last year's model. Verizon Scores the Casio G'zOne Commando 4G LTE The Commando goes on sale at Verizon Wireless stores June 27 for $99.99 after $50 mail-in rebate. The Commando and G-Shock watch can also offer alerts when there's a sudden change in atmospheric pressure, which could predict a change in the weather. Alternately, the Phone Alert Status Profile can be used to receive alerts if the G-Shock watch wearer wanders too far from their Commando. The Commando and G-Shock together use the Find Me profile to let G-Shock watch wearers find their Commando if they are in close proximity. When connected, the Commando and G-Shock watch can be used to receive call notifications, messages and emails, just as some smartwatches can. Both the phone and the watch are ruggedized products, making them an ideal pair, and are among the first to use some of these profiles. The recently-announced Casio Gz'One Commando 4G LTE can connect with the Casio G-Shock Watch and share information via various Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy profiles. It just cleared from the FCC, so it should only be a matter of time before those that need a viable option for a rugged smartphone equipped with LTE will be able to grab the Commando 811 from Big Red.Casio Commando Uses Bluetooth 4.0 LE With G-Shock Watch Nothing is official yet, but we should be hearing from Verizon and Casio with an official announcement sometime soon.

the Commando 811 may be the phone for you. Of course, it’s not the most beautiful phone to look at, but if it’s protection from rain, dust, drops, etc. Formally called the Casio G’z0ne Commando 811, the new handset comes with an all-new look on top of the brand new LTE chip.
