Amazon.com Product Description
Extremely popular since its original launch in 1983, this product shatters the notion that anything on a woman's wrist is a fragile piece of jewelry that must be handled with care. What you have before you is the result of Casio's 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 offers a radical new type of watch unaffected by strong impacts or shaking. This analog-quartz powered model features a black resin band, a luminous dial, and a stainless steel bezel in an elegant brushed silver-tone. The G-Shock also includes an auto calendar (pre-programmed until the year 2039), a countdown timer, and a multi-function alarm. With a water resistance of 330 feet and numerous technological advances such as Tough Solar Power and Atomic Timekeeping that keeps its accuracy to within +/-30 seconds per month, you'll have no doubt why G-Shock is considered by many to be the toughest watch in the world.

The Baby-G Story

Baby-G

Tough, Cute, Cool

With the launch of its first watch in 1974, Casio entered the wristwatch market at a time when the watch industry had just discovered digital technology. Armed with cutting-edge technology developed for pocket calculators, Casio entered the field confident it could develop timepieces that would push watch technology forward.

Baby G by Casio has the durability and toughness of G-shock but made for a today’s woman. Sleek and fashionable some are timeless design and others are cutting edge. All are priceless.

The Designs and colors are attuned to today’s fashions Baby G’s accentuate a shock-resistant and Water-resistant structure built for active use.

Some models in the Amazon.com line-up are equipped with radio-controlled timing to ensure precision time display and Tough Solar to convert light into ample operation power. All Baby G’s are shock resistant have water resistance from 50M up to 100M

Baby G - Sometimes cool, sometimes casual always a great timepiece that makes a fabulous statement about the person wearing it.

The Casio Story

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

What a piece of work
I have waited for a digital watch that didn't take a rocket scientist to set. It's easy to read and the band is very confortable. You won't go wrong ordering one.

Fun and Elegant
The watch is elegant and practical at the same time. It can be dressed up or dressed down. I'm a fire fighter and I need a tough watch. This stands up to task, taking a beating and still looking good. The numbers are large, making it very easy to see. I use it for swimming as well and the large display comes in handy under the water. Its user friendly and easy to use once you get the hang of it. I did not expect a pink back light, that was a surprise, but it illuminates well to see in the dark.I have a very small wrist and I was afraid it would look to big. Its not. The watch is designed to conform to your wrist, its thin, its a good watch for people with small wrists.

very sleek,simple, and nice
I am nurse looking for a simple watch with a second hand and this watch is perfect. It looks bulky in the picture but really isn't. It very classic and simple looking and even has 5 alarms and alarms hourly. I absolutely love the watch.
