The GBD-800 may look robust in pics, but the round shape and weight from the lower end of the series make it very wearable. The design comes from the legendary DW6600 used by the Navy Seals. The 5 mm hole spacing (closer than normal) on the watch enables a better fit on the wrist.
In addition to the precision strap, the watch has a lap/split button on the front and a comprehensive interval timer. If these appeal to you, comparison between models just got easier.
Decoding the name
The cryptic letter/number combination in Casio watch names (GBD-800-1BER) tells you about the watch type and its features. G = G-Shock, B = Bluetooth ja D = Digital.
The number in the middle (800) tells you the watch series. The number in the 1BER suffix is the color code where 1 = black. The letter after that refers to the "order number", B = Second Wave. ER tells that this is the version made for the European market. The various regions are most often just packaged a bit differently, and the manual language varies.

Made by Casio
The first invention by Tadao Kashio was the yubiwa pipe: a ring that allows you to smoke a cigarette hands-free and all the way to the end. Tobacco was expensive in war-torn Japan (because WWII), and people had their hands full of work, so this was exactly what the market wanted. With the profits from the pipe, Kashio could fund the development of Casio's first electro-mechanical calculator.
High intelligence and flair for business combined with this sort of diligence could not have led to anything but the success Casio has achieved. The company has been the first mover too many times to mention. Let's skip the list this time.
Being the first mover has not sacrificed quality: many people still use Casio wristwatches they bought 40 years ago, and they have gained the trust of NASA, numerous special (and non-special) forces, law enforcement, paramedics, and so on. Another long list. The TL;DR is that all of these are damn good, pick any one you like!
