When you are on the hunt for a brand-new durable watch, Casio G-Shock will most likely be the first thing that comes to mind. With a long history and solid stance in the watch industry as the world's toughest watch, if you're ready to take on big adventures, then a Casio G-Shock really is your only option. If you are looking for something more compact, you may come across the G-Shock range called Baby-G. This line debuted in 1994 as a women's watch with the same tough concept as the traditional mens G-Shock, except with a smaller, more compact build and unique designs and colours for the feminine appeal.
This isn't to say that the watches are any less tough and come in some really attractive styles, designs and colours. You might be wondering, is a Baby-G unisex? Can you wear a Baby-G watch if you are a guy? We're here to round up some Baby-G facts and let you know that not only can you wear a Baby-G watch, but you SHOULD.

What is a Baby-G Watch?
Equipped with the iconic Casio G-Shock shock-resistance and 100-metre water resistance, these pieces are a great blend of style, toughness and cool. Ideal for those who are on the go, these watches are able to protect against shocks, drops and vibrations that come with daily life, sports and outdoor activities. Not only that, but every Baby-G is suitable for those who work around water, swim regularly or go snorkelling. Basically, just like a G-Shock watch, you can go through your daily activities with peace of mind, knowing that your watch is safe and sound. Not only this, but they are complete with a light up dial at the push of a button that is perfect for legibility in low lighting or the dark! Some pieces are even built in with back-lights that playfully illuminate the hands and dial in bright luminescent colours.
The functions of a Baby-G doesn't end there. On many of the watches you can enjoy world time displays. The current times in various preset cities and special regions can be displayed on the watch making it easy to check times in other countries. Whether you are travelling, have loved ones internationally or simply for pleasure, it is a practical and unique feature that is highly desired by watch enthusiasts and travellers alike. Not only this, but the watches also feature a tide graph. This is a simple operation that shows the tide conditions at your current surfing point - which is a must-have for surfers. It lets you know the wave conditions for each hour and for a specific date.
The Designs of Baby-G
3D Face
The first design is the 3D face with an oversized 3D index and inset dials that are laid out on the wide face. The structure looks deep and levelled which assures good visibility in outdoor environments. This watch is highly reminiscent of the traditional G-Shock watches with a more compact case and softer colours that are less rugged and bold. Here, timekeeping, tide graphs and other information are easily legible.
Protector
If you are looking for a digital watch, then look no further than a stunning Baby-G digital watch. The BGD-500 reinvents the original Baby-G model with a square face and visible wire protector that sets it apart from the rest and gained major popularity in the early 90's. Simple designs with complimentary colour combinations, the protector design was developed in the pursuit of toughness that reflects fashion trends.
Multi-Angle Print
For those who are looking for fun prints and unique designs, then the Baby-G is just for you! Original designs are printed onto the band in a multi-angle design that makes the watch look complete and put together. From amazing functions to expression of playful individuality, a Baby-G is full of character.
Is Baby-G for Guys?
When it comes to what 'gender' watches are, there really are no set rules. We think that anyone can wear whatever fits you, suits your needs and makes you go wow! Many of the Baby-G watches have unisex styling that fit both boys and girls. With their smaller dimensions and compact case, the size of the Baby-G is typically more comfortable to wear in day-to-day life compared to normal G-Shocks which can sometimes be limited to the outdoors due to their size. A Baby-G is a watch for everyone, and with their unique designs and colour variations, it can be worn proudly by anyone!
