Casio has a new GPS wristwatch for those who not only want to tell the time, but would love to know where they are at the moment. The GPR-100 targets those who are inclined toward sports like jogging and distance running as it is able to measure the distance traveled and the current and average speed. Casio also touts the fact that the GPR-100 is the world's smallest GPS wristwatch. It will be available in Japan at the end of next month, retailing for approximately $460. I wonder what happens when you take a GPS wristwatch on a time-traveling trip in the future. More specs and features are available after the jump.
