Amazon.com Product Description
Fashionably futuristic and durably designed, this Casio Baby-G watch is equal parts modern accessory and everyday essential, casual-wear timepiece. The digital display window features a distinctive square shape and a handy LED backlight with afterglow. Silver-toned accents on the watch's white resin bezel and band add to the overall look. The day, date and month are shown above the bold time display, and the watch also comes with a convenient multi-function alarm, countdown timer, and 1/100 second stopwatch. Specially designed to resist shock, this hardy digital-quartz movement watch is also water resistant up to 330 feet (100 meters) and has a two-year battery life. This watch is backed by a 1-year limited manufacturer's warranty.

Development of the Timepiece Business
With the launch of its first watch in November 1974, Casio entered the wristwatch market at a time when the watch industry had just discovered digital technology. As a company with cutting-edge electronic technology developed for pocket calculators, Casio entered this field confident that it could develop timepieces that would lead the market.

In developing its own wristwatches Casio began with the basic question, "What is a wristwatch?" Rather than simply making a digital version of the conventional mechanical watch, we thought that the ideal wristwatch should be something that shows all facets of time in a consistent way. Based on this, Casio was able to create a watch that displayed the precise time including the second, minute, hour, day, and month — not to mention a.m. or p.m., and the day of the week. It was the first watch in the world with a digital automatic calendar function that eliminated the need to reset the calendar due the variation in month length. Rather than using a conventional watch face and hands, a digital liquid crystal display was adopted to better show all the information. This culminated in the 1974 launch of the CASIOTRON, the world’s first digital watch with automatic calendar. The CASIOTRON won acclaim as a groundbreaking product that represented a complete departure from the conventional wristwatch.

Casio transformed the concept of the watch — from a mere timepiece to an information device for the wrist — and undertook product planning based on this innovative idea. We developed not only time functions such as global time zone watches, but also other radical new functions using Casio’s own digital technology, including calculator and dictionary functions, as well as a phonebook feature based on memory technology, and even a thermometer function using a built-in sensor. The memory-function watches became our DATA BANK product series, while the sensor watches developed into two unique Casio product lines of today: the Pathfinder series displaying altitude, atmospheric pressure, and compass readings.

In 1983, Casio launched the shock-resistant G-SHOCK watch. This product shattered the notion that a watch is a fragile piece of jewelry that needs to be handled with care, and was the result of Casio engineers taking on the challenge of creating the world’s toughest watch. Using a triple-protection design for the parts, module, and case, the G-SHOCK offered a radical new type of watch that was unaffected by strong impacts or shaking. Its practicality was immediately recognized, and its unique look, which embodied its functionality, became wildly popular, resulting in explosive sales in the early 1990s. The G-SHOCK soon adopted various new sensors, solar-powered radio-controlled technology (described below), and new materials for even better durability. By always employing the latest technology, and continuing to transcend conventional thinking about the watch, the G-SHOCK brand has become Casio’s flagship timepiece product.

Today, Casio is focusing its efforts on solar-powered radio-controlled watches: the built-in solar battery eliminates the nuisance of replacing batteries, and the radio-controlled function means users never have to reset the time. In particular, the radio-controlled function represents a revolution in time-keeping technology similar to the impact created when mechanical watches gave way to quartz technology. Through the further development of high radio-wave sensitivity, miniaturization, and improved energy efficiency, Casio continues to produce a whole range of radio-controlled models.

Customer Reviews

Love this watch!
I get a ton of compliments on this watch. My only regret is that I should have perhaps chosen another color. I've had it for over a year and the plastic has changed color. I think it is due to exposure to light - similar to what office machines do at work - take on that yellowish brown cast due to the florescent lights. Still love the watch though.

neat!
I'm a nurse and my $10 cheapo from Walmart gave out on me. I had looked at BabyG before so the Walmart breakdown provided a good excuse to buy this watch. I love it. I keep in military time, and I love the digital second hand, and light. I get lots of compliments.

baby g
I was not impresses with the watch, but I do like it and wear it often. It is very casual and there are numbers and letters on the end of the clear band that you can see all the time. It makes the watch look cheape r than the $50 that it costs. I think that the colors might be ok, but clear is definately not the way to go with this model. You can even see the rust stains near the screws from getting the watch wet.
