”Casio Celebrates 25 Years of G-Shock With Four New Models
Casio just unveiled four new G-Shock models at their 25th anniversary event tonight in NYC. Kanye West is here, but the watches are definitely taking front and center. Two are analog, the other two digital, and all feature Multi-BandCasio Updates Baby-G With Colors, Tilt-to-Zoom Display
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.
