Question 1

Where is this made

Accepted Answer

Some place where the employees are treated less than just like your job!

Question 2

Can the watch control music on my smartphone while connected via Bluetooth?

Accepted Answer

No.  This device cannot control media or calls on the connected device/phone.  It also does not have internal memory to be able to load music onto for local streaming and control.

Question 3

Vibrate with notifications?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but.  Android users should read this first.   You can either enable notifications, or disable them.  You cannot restrict in any way which apps can notify your watch.  So apps that have persistent notifications, like weather apps, constantly ping the watch, as in non-stop constant notification.  The most annoying part is in order for the Casio Android app to run 24x7 and android to not kill the service, it needs a persistent notification.  So the casio app causes the watch to constantly notify me that the Casio app is running.

Because of this I had to completely turn off notifications. They were useless.  Casio incorrectly says in their documentation that " it is not possible to use watch operations or CASIO WATCHES app operations to select the apps from which notifications are sent."  but this is simply not true.  You can throw a rock and hit 15 apps which use the EXACT same Android api for notification access but can absolutely allow or disallow certain apps.  Some apps even have very detailed inclusion or exclusion filters so you can say allow only text messages from persons name but don't notify me of other text messages.  Here are some examples of apps which can do what Casio says is not possible:
fitbit
pixel watch app
zepp life
mi fit
notify for miband

I suspect Casio will never fix this.  You can go back and find reviews for years and years complaining about this.  It was a problem in their old app, and it's still a problem in their new app.  This one isn't getting fixed.  You'll likely need to keep notifications alerts off if you buy this watch and plan to use it with Android.

Question 4

Can the activity tracking be synced with Google Fit?

Accepted Answer

No, it cannot. The new Casio app, "Casio Watches" , does not have any 3rd party integrations. No Strava. No Google Fit. No myfitnesspal. Nothing. You cant even export data at all. You can see the data in the "Casio Watches" app and that's it. The old app which is being shut down called "G-Shock Move" did allow 3rd party integrations.
