Casio Baby-G BG5602-9 Lady's Watch Review

Pop culture goes wild for these designs, so Casio's designers in Japan have been giving Casio Baby-G watches (Baby-G is one of the dedicated women's lines of watches from the G-Shock collections) bold looks with bight colors and interesting materials. This specific watch is sized at about 40mm wide, but does not look that big because the actual screen for the dial is smaller. It might be a little larger that most women's watches, but looks right as a Casio Baby-G on even the most petite of women's wrists. Thickness is about 12mm.The style of the case is a smoother more soft version of what you'd expect to see in the male G-Shock variants - though it is still a rugged look. The bright electric yellow adds a friendliness to the character, while the color is done in a glossy tone. You'll notice that Casio has even made the screen yellow. The digital LCD screen actually is yellow on yellow. It looks very cool, but one draw back is that it is a bit hard to see in certain lighting situations. In those situations you can use the watch's excellent backlight. I recall a few years ago that the backlights used to not be very bright. Since then, Casio has implemented very bright LEDs for the backlighting.Hip, cool, and really noticeable is how someone recently referred to this cool women's Casio Baby-G watch. In bright shiny yellow, this model BG5602-9 watch is an awesome example of a great casual sporty watch for a style conscious, but unpretentious woman. Inside is all the great durable and functional features you come to expect from a Casio G-Shock style watch, with a cool urban, candy-like style that is hard to find elsewhere.I find it interesting that while Casio Shock watches are extremely popular with law enforcement, military personnel and anyone else who needs a reliable durable watch - such timepieces are also very popular for the urban elite (who'd have though).
