Many of these models came equipped with a pair of strap adapters and a single one-piece resin or nylon band. These styles of band are also known as “crossband” in the Japanese domestic market. Resin bands for these models had open gaps or slits through the band. Casio refers to them as drainage slits; the idea is that water will drain out with no problems while in action when surfing. These models were branded as X-Treme for the Japanese domestic market. The list of functions turns it into a versatile and accurate timepiece that you can rely on when traveling.
This enhanced toughness does come at the expense of its size as standard G-Shock watches tend to go well beyond the 50mm diameter case range. This G-Shock Baby G collection digital watch showcases a purple digital dial laid on a transparent resin case and strap with white accents. Recently, Casio introduced a new collection of women’s watches that I see as being a more mature version of the popular Casio Baby-G watch family. Casio G-Shock watches have, for the most part, been entirely masculine watches — with pretty big sizes to match.
The first and most notable is that G-Shock models are significantly larger. Other differences include G-Shock’s higher water resistance rating. G-Shock watches also come with magnetic-resistance and have overall better durability against natural elements. With ladies consumers in mind, the Casio Baby-G watches series are more streamline, sparky and colourful while preserving the toughness of the original G-Shock line. They are fit for the active young women who can shoulder the men’s world with a hint of femininity, emcompassing both resilience and functions, characters and style in one watch.
This second collaboration introduces an analog-digital watch with an outdoor theme, representing the active image of the BABY-G brand. The entire BA110PKC-4A band showcases a soft pink camouflage pattern and female Pikachu with an endearing heart-shaped tail. Next up and for comparison purposes is the Casio Baby-G BG169G-7B. It also has a rose-gold case bezel but a more traditional G-Shock wearing experience and a smaller case. This is among the more recent models of a legacy watch design and shows how hip the series can be.
The reduced water resistance is not an issue – even as a recreational diver, you won’t be going deeper than 40 meters which any Baby-G will handle just fine. Besides styling, the main difference between G-Shock and Baby-G is Baby-G’s reduced water resistance. Both the G-Shock and Baby-G series are well-loved at this point, with both having a pretty solid customer base. In this article, we will be taking a closer look at all the significant differences between the two durable watch brands. We will also be comparing a handful of G-Shock watches with their Baby-G counterpart to get a clearer understanding of the difference not only in size but also in performance. Now, the Baby-G first entered the fray in 1994 – about a decade after the first G-Shock watch broke through and revolutionized the watch market.
The X-shape actually helps equally divide the dial’s display so that your eyes won’t be overwhelmed by the detail. As for features, you get the standard stopwatch, countdown timer, and auto-calendar combo. In addition, this G-Shock watch also comes with a World Time feature that makes it an ideal companion for those who love to travel. It also comes with a 200-meter water resistance which is to be expected with a G-Shock watch. G-shock Baby-G watches are shock resistant, waterproof, and available in analog and digital models. BabyG by Casio makes a great watch for kids and is designed to provide basic functions such as date and time, stopwatch, and five daily alarms.
