Just the other day Casio came up with some colorful retrotastic G-shocks, and now the Baby-G is getting a color treatment, with a neat zooming display. The BG-2000/2001 series come in white, yellow and orange with shiny wrist bands and complimentary colored LCDs that you can customize in five styles. There's also that auto-zoom function that enlarges the digits when you tilt your wrist to read the time. They're shock-resistant, 100m water resistant, with world time and five independent alarms and have auto EL backlighting (LED for the yellow version). No word on pricing yet.

These will be on everyone's wrists in the year 2000.
It is the distant future, the year 2000.
The world is very different ever since the robotic uprising uf the late 90's...
Looks like something my kid would get out of a candy machine at the grocery store.
You think they would photoshop the image, as the display is so dull...
The real cool feature is not the zoom but that the individual pixels of the display are mirrored finished.
