Hi, thanks for making this app

This is not an issue but a question:

Does it work with all casio watch supporting G-Shock connected app?

The repo mention serie B5000 ans B5600 which both support the "GShock Connected" app

There are more casio watches that support that same app though and i am wondering if your app will work with these watches too?

Also, there are casio app that work with Gshock Move app but i guess these use a different protocol?

No, this app only works with the G-Shock Square watches 5600 and 5000 series:

The official G-Shock Connected app supports more watches. But usually, apps supporting fewer watches do a better job than general apps like G-Shock Connected, because they can take advantage of watch's specific characteristics.

Which watch are you interested in for this app? We would like to support more watches, but cannot justify buying them, since this app does not generate any income.

I was looking at the various model so no one in particular but here is a list of the one i am potentially interested:

The main feature i am interested though is the ability to sync calendar to the watch (on that note, is there a limit of the number of events tracked by the watch?)

These are all nice watches. Unfortunately, I just don't have time to support all these. I'm writing an API to make it easier to program these watches, so hopefully somebody will pick up some of the work.

About the calendar events: the app will display all, but the watch only supports 5, so you need to select which 5 to send to the watch.
