CASIO's Baby-G: An Iconic Game-Changer In Women's Watches
Traditionally many women’s watches have emphasised sleek curves, elegant designs, and minimal functionality in order to create a more ‘feminine’ appearance. But that all changed in 1994 when CASIO released their groundbreaking game-changer - the CASIO Baby-G.
Inspired by CASIO’s famous G-Shock men’s watches that had come out in 1983, the Baby-G set a new standard for women’s watches with its active, sporty designs and useful functionality.

Blending Style and Toughness
The key point of CASIO’s Baby-G has always been to empower women with a timepiece that has the same toughness and resistance as the G-Shock, while appealing more to women’s needs and tastes.
The Baby-G has the same “Triple 10” qualities as its masculine counterpart - a 10 year battery life, 10 bar water resistance, and 10 metre fall resistance. Though these may be ‘normal’ expectations for a sporty women’s watch today, we have the Baby-G to thank for normalising these functions for women wearers. Some key features you might find in your Baby-G today:
- Solar charging batteries
- Stopwatch measurements with lap/split time
- World time across different cities or regions
- Tide graphs for swimmers and surfers alike
- Step trackers to help you meet your fitness goals
At the same time, the Baby-G has some style and appearance differences from the G-shock line. The cases are downsized and less bulk to better suit women’s wrists, and Baby-G watches come in lighter colours with more vibrant designs too. Whether you’re looking for a full-on sporty model for adventures through the outdoors or a more sophisticated option that can take you from weekday work to weekend play, the different Baby-G lines have what you need:
1. The G-MS: For a sporty and sophisticated timepiece
The Baby-G G-MS series was created with the tough yet polished spirit of an independent woman in mind. Each watch comes with a flat bezel and distinct 3D bar indexes to add a subtle yet bold tough to its design. The G-MS line even a luxurious metal finishing on its stainless steel bezels to transform these timepieces into something that would be just at home in the office as it would be outdoors.
