The title says “Casio Adds Fitness Features to Original G-Shock Digital Watch”.
They haven’t added features to the ‘original’ one at all. They’re releasing two _new_ G-Shock watches with more features, including some fitness features.

- nluken 3y agoNo, but there's a difference between selling a convertible Corvette alongside the hardtop and discontinuing the hardtop to sell the convertible.

- hammock 3y agoOk. I don’t work in SaaS and I know something about Casio G shock watches, so I came from a different perspective. Thanks for adding that
- benatkin 3y agoYou were right. Especially the quip "distinction without a difference" was relevant here. With the context it is certainly not ambiguous.
- arrrg 3y agoIn my mind G-Shock is a brand of watch and there are many different ones. So the statement “Casio releases a G-Shock watch with fitness features” makes sense. “Casio adds fitness features to G-Shock digital watch” also makes sense. The “original” is a bit confusing to me. And judging by the comments here others, too. I get why it’s in the headline. This fitness watch is sort of styled like the very first (= “original”, though given the plethora of G-Shock watches and their enormous diversity that seems like a weird way of framing it) G-Shock watch from 1983. Maybe “Casio releases 40th anniversary G-Shock watch with fitness features”.

- neogodless 3y agoThis headline would read "Chevrolet adds Android Auto to original Corvette." And it would not make sense when what they mean is "new model of Corvette gets Android Auto."
