Baby-G is the female version of G-Shock, so it makes sense that it resembles it a lot. Its history began in the 90s, and it’s the perfect image of function and fashion, addressing to women that are bold, elegant, and active altogether. Compared to G-Shocks, the Baby-G watches are slightly pricier with the cheapest ones retailing around $55, while a DW9052 G-Shock can be had for around $40.
It also takes a vastly different approach to the GA110’s subdued all-black matte design with a more stylish all-white with gold-accent dial aesthetic. The Baby-G collection features similar elements to the original G-Shock model with its impressive level of shock resistance and collection of watch functionalities. The smaller size does mean that the Baby-G needed to shave off a certain percent of G-Shock’s signature qualities. For example, Baby-G watches only have a 100-meter water resistance rating. Don’t get us wrong though, 100-meter is still a pretty good number, but it is a noticeable downgrade from the standard 200-meter water-resistance of G-Shock watches. You can find out more about this fashionable and tough watch over at Baby-G’s official website.
Both G-Shocks and Baby-Gs give you a great bang for the buck, as they will last for years.

Baby G won’t have any of the really advanced G-Shock features, such as compass, altimeter, barometer, vibration alarm etc. They take up space and are impossible to fit inside the smaller case. When it comes to toughness, Baby Gs are held to the same standard as regular Gs. Baby-G has the same shock resistance and construction quality as the regular G-Shock.
