The BGD-565U-1DR is the compact square Baby-G in full stealth — matte black case, matte black resin band, black dial surround, and white dial typography reading "ALARM CHRONO", "CASIO", and "WATER RESIST 10BAR". The "PROTECTION" stamp runs across the top bezel and "BABY-G" across the bottom, both in white against the black resin. It is the no-colour, goes-with-everything version of the BGD-565 — the same silhouette that Baby-G built its identity around, scaled down to 42.1 × 37.9 mm and just 30 grams on the wrist.
Module 3523 keeps the feature set focused: LED Super Illuminator with afterglow, flash alert that pulses the backlight in sync with alarms and signals, 1/100-second stopwatch with split time, 24-hour countdown timer with auto-repeat, multi-function alarm, and a full auto-calendar to 2099. Shock resistant construction and 100-metre water resistance handle the physical side. The positive LCD display (dark digits on a light background) is clean and legible in daylight; the LED handles the rest. CR1616 battery runs approximately three years. The case is designed to sit flat when viewed from the side — no protruding elements breaking the slim profile at 11.3 mm.

Why You'll Love It
- The all-black Baby-G square that matches everything. No colour accents to clash, no themed graphics to commit to — just matte black resin with clean white typography. It works with every outfit, every setting, every season. The neutral palette is the reason this colourway consistently outsells its themed siblings.
- At 30 grams, you genuinely forget it's on your wrist. The BGD-565 is one of the lightest shock-resistant digital watches available, and the compact 42.1 × 37.9 mm case sits flat against the wrist without overhang. Designed to look slim from the side — the 11.3 mm profile has no protruding elements breaking the clean line.
- The flash alert function pulses the LED backlight in sync with alarms, hourly signals, and countdown alerts. It's a visual cue that works in noisy environments — the MRT, a concert, a crowded gym — where you'd miss the buzzer alone.
- Shock resistant and 100-metre water resistant. The resin case absorbs impacts, and 10 BAR handles swimming, rain, and splashing. This is a watch you can genuinely stop thinking about protecting — it protects itself.
- The positive LCD (dark digits on a light background) is the most readable display type in direct sunlight. The LED Super Illuminator handles darkness with even, white illumination and selectable afterglow. Between the two, every lighting condition is covered.
- Three-year battery on a CR1616. No solar panel to orient, no charging cable — wear it, read it, replace the battery when it eventually tells you to (seconds display flashes in two-second intervals).

Key Features
- Shock resistant construction — Baby-G's core promise. The resin case and internal module suspension absorb drops, knocks, and vibrations. Built to handle an active lifestyle without babying the watch.
- 100-metre water resistance (10 BAR) — Handles swimming, splashing, rain, and poolside use. Not rated for scuba diving. No need to remove it around water.
- LED Super Illuminator with afterglow — Even white LED illumination across the entire LCD display. Selectable illumination duration with afterglow for extended readability in the dark.
- Flash alert — LED backlight flashes in sync with the buzzer for alarms, hourly time signals, and countdown timer alerts. A visual notification layer on top of the audio one.
- 1/100-second stopwatch — Measures up to 24 hours. 1/100-second precision for the first 60 minutes, 1-second after. Elapsed time, split time, and 1st–2nd place modes.
- 24-hour countdown timer with auto-repeat — Set from 1 second to 24 hours. Auto-repeat restarts the countdown when it reaches zero — useful for interval training, cooking timers, or study sessions.
