Oh my God did I want a
Casio Baby-G Watch back in the 90s.
There had never been a watch like them before - fun, funky, playful and chunky, their designs were so fresh and new. Everyone wanted one including me.
So when I hear that the
Casio Baby-G was back, I did a quadruple back flip. Well, in my mind anyway. I did jump up and down a few times in excitement, though.
There is so much to love about the new collections of
Casio Baby-G Watches.
First of all,
the range of colours and styles is completely insane - there is truly something for everyone here! Which is why they are a perfect gift for Mom this year. She can rock it at the gym, running errands or playing tennis at the club. And which is why they are also a great present for friends. I mean, who wouldn't love a brand new funky watch for their birthday?!
Baby-
G, known for its playful look and feel, is designed for the "feisty and flirty femme who works hard and plays even harder." Doesn't that sound like your girls?
What I love about these watches is they ooze sexy confidence and style. They don't fade into the background like most timepieces and they truly are an accessory that you can style to fit any outfit.
Take the
NEW Baby-G Blue Tough Lime (
BGA200-3E) for instance.
The square shape is so modern and fresh. The lime colour is so awesome, don't be surprised if people actually want to take it off your wrist! This is one of the coolest watches I've ever seen. The resin band looks like patent leather and will stand up to whatever you do - dance, walk, run, shop, swim - thanks to being shock resistant and 100m water resistant as well.
The Ana-Digi dial code gives you the best of both worlds - analog and digital - so that you can be all modern and retro all at once. There 48 cities to set your time to - how cosmopolitan (just like you)!
And because you're a woman of the world, you're going to love the rest of its features:
- Hourly Time Signal
- Auto-Calendar Full Auto-Calendar (pre-programmed until the year 2099)
- Daily Alarm
- Approx. Battery Life 2 years
- LED Light LED Light with Afterglow
- 12/24-Hour Formats
- Accuracy +/-30 seconds per month
- World Time 29 time zones (48 cities + UTC), city code display, daylight saving on/off
- Button Operation Tone
- Stopwatch 1/100 second stopwatch
I told you it was awesome!
And I am lovin' the completely summery, sunny
Baby-G White Tough White (
BG169R-7D). This new colour pallet of glossy solids are white hot! I love the metallic dial and matching LCDs that give off a 3D effect.
The white resin band juxtaposed with the digital pink face is completely right now, with a nod to the future, don't you think? I love that it's big and bold. And just think how tanned it will make you look.
This sexy mo-fo is not only shock resistant but water resistant up to 200m. That means you can both go poolside this summer.
With
cool Casio Baby-G features that you'll find on all their watches, this l'il beauty also comes with:
- Databank Pages 25
- Day Counter Automatically counts down the days from the current date to a target date.
- Approx. Battery Life 3 years
- Memory Memory capacity: Up to 25 sets of data
- Countdown Timer
- Backlight EL Backlight with Afterglow
But I think my favourite has got to be the
Baby-G Black Tough Black (
BGA111-1B -
pictured above).
Based on the successful "Chaton" style design of the Slim Marine series, this new timepiece is elegant with a tough exterior.
There is something so new and stunning about pairing of the copper and black. Because the strap is resin, it looks shiny and new well after you've been wearing it out and about and because it's molded, it has a metal link look to it that gives it a unique look and feel. It is sophisticated and classic, with just enough edge to keep it futuristic looking too.
And it goes with everything from your little black dress to a tee and jeans. No matter what you pair this bad boy with, you're going to look amazing!
I love the AnaDigi dial code (the best of both worlds) and because I love a little bling in my accessories, the Rhinestone Hour Markers make me feel like I'm wearing something from a Diddy video.
In addition to the usual awesome features of
Casio Baby-Gs, this wonder has an auto-calendar that's been pre-programmed until 2099, it's water resistant up to 100m and it has 3 alarm patterns so that you will always be on time no matter where you are in the world.
I think these watches look way more expensive than they are and they come with some many features that will help enhance your busy life. But mostly, these watches make amazing gifts because they look so damn good!
So if you're going to get one for Mom this Mother's Day, be sure to get one (or three!) for yourself. At these prices, you can absolutely afford the coolest accessory around!
