Welcome back to my Coming Soon column! Today I'll be previewing the DW6900LS Casio G-Shock Series. Now, this is based on the original DW-6900 design, but as the saying goes - If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Ready? Here We Go!

First up is the DW-6900LS-1. As you can see in the picture above, while the -1 code suggests a black watch, thanks to the transparency of the band it looks more grey. The bezel is orange and green, with a negative digital display (which means white writing on a black background).

Then we've got the blue transparent DW6900LS-2. This has quite a mixture of blue colours on the band (even the writing is blue). The shades range from light to dark blue, while the bezel shades are lime green, to khaki. The buttons on the watch also mix between light and dark blue, with the display again being negative.

So, now that we've seen what the watch looks like, let's talk features. First up, I mentioned the negative display twice, because quite a few people say they're hard to read. Well thanks to this watch being fully digital, you won't have to worry. Just turn on the backlight, and the display is fully visible.

Another great fringe benefit of having a digital watch, is the display doesn't need room for too many dials, so it can afford to make the digital numbers larger. This is great for anyone who has trouble with their eyesight.

Being a part of Casio's G-Shock range, you know the watch is hard to damage. it has 100m shock resistance, as well as 200m water resistance. Please note however, you do NOT want to push any buttons while you're swimming. I'd also recommend not going into the shower with the watch because running water ends up corroding the seal.

The DW6900LS series is coming soon to BuyWatchesOnline!

Welcome back to our Model Review page, where today, I'll be spotlighting the latest Gravity Master in the G-Shock series. We just got this baby in stock a few days ago, and already people are gravitating towards it! Ready to find out why? Here We Go!

Let's take a look at this watch. First up you'll notice it's much bigger, reminding you of the Gulfmaster Series, particularly due to the colour choice of the blackish blue bezel. It's also completely analogue, making it a very rare watch these days. The display is extra large to accommodate the compass, the large watch screen, and a smaller world time display on the 6 o'clock dial. The buttons themselves are also extra large, making them easy to see and press.

So, let's take a look at the features. First up, the GPW2000 is Solar Powered! That's right, you don't need to change the battery every year or two. Make sure the watch sees some light, and the most annoying part about having a watch goes out the window.

Now, this is marketed as a GPS watch, but I do have to warn you, it's not EXACTLY what you think. This watch won't show you where you are on the map. Instead, it uses the GPS to automatically set the correct time for you. It's better than Radio Control watches, because this one works anywhere in the world, not just China, Japan and Europe.

OK, so that does sound a tiny bit complicated, but that's fine. If you prefer to ignore the GPS feature, simply connect the watch via Bluetooth, and it will automatically change the time that way too.

G-Shock is known for its toughness, and the GPW2000 is no exception! Apart from being shock resistant and Magnet Resistant, it's also resistant to vibrations. No matter how much the watch shakes due to the environment you're in, it will still work normally. Even if the hands do get mixed up, the watch has a hand correction feature, so the time will go back to EXACTLY what it was supposed to be.

This is a tough watch, meant for tough jobs. It is Available right now at BuyWatchesOnline!

Look out Polar, and Garmin, Casio's about to muscle in on your territory in a big way, with the all new G-Squad G-Shock GBDH1000 Heart Rate Monitor Series Watches. This series has been one we've been eager to get our hands on, and word on the street is, they'll be in our stores sooner than later! So, let's find out what they're all about - Ready? Here We Go!!

Let's see what the watches look like first. You'll have to bear with me, because this model comes in a whopping SIX different colour schemes. First up is the GBDH1000-1

As you can see, this one is basic black. However you'll notice that it's fully digital, and a little bit different than the usual Casio Screen. That's because the screen is a LED Display, that's a lot easier to see, day or night. The bezel is also stainless steel instead of just plain resin, meaning it's a lot sturdier.

Next up, is the GBDH1000-1A4

This model has a black band, but the surroundings are orange, a little bit of rose gold, and gold screws keeping everything together.

Then we've got the GBDH1000-1A7

This one has three colours, (Black bezel, white band, and the edges of the band are actually a lime green.

If Red is more your colour, we've got the GBDH1000-4

This is red, with a blueish bezel. Since the Bezel is stainless steel, it makes both colours stand out.

Next up is a pattern that may look familiar to those of you who liked the GA700SK, it's the transparent GBDH1000-7A9

As you can see, this looks a lot like the 1A7, but instead of being solid, the bezel is see-through. Combined with the green highlights, the watch draws your eye as successfully as the GBDH1000-4

Finally we have the grey GBDH1000-8

As with the 1000-1 it takes the no frills approach, although it does add red buttons to and writing for a splash of colour. All of these models are fully digital, and thanks to the LED Display, for once it doesn't matter at all that they have a negative display.

Now then, let's talk FEATURES! Because there's so many to get through, I'll ignore the obvious ones you get with every G-Shock (100M Shock and 200M Water Resistance) and get straight to what makes the GBDH-1000 series stand apart from anything that came before it!

When you think heart rate monitor watches, where does your mind go to? For me, it's those bulky Polar watches. Not only did mine not fit very well, but having the strap around my chest made it quite distracting when I tried to exercise. With Casio, you can forget about it, since there's no strap!

So how do you get the heart rate? Good question! The GBDH1000 is sensitive enough to pick up your heart rate straight from your wrist!

Another cool feature is, you can set a goal heart rate before you train, and if you don't reach the heart rate, the watch will let you know thanks to the daily logs it creates! Yes, that's right, the watch is perfect for helping you with fitness by keeping a detailed log of all your movements. It's even got a GPS and pedometer so you'll be able to see how many KMs you've run, and how many steps you've taken.

Now, you might be getting a bit worried. I mean, these are really good features, but they sound like they'd drain the batteries, and you don't really want to buy a new battery, a few months after you get your new watch, right? Well, lucky for you, Casio feels the same way! Not only is the watch recharged by light but, for the first time EVER in a Casio Watch, you can plug it into your computer, or your phone charger, and it'll charge the watch right up! No more going to the jewellers and replacing the batteries.

If those features weren't enough for you, I can also tell you that the watch has a compass, altimeter, barometer and thermometer, so you can use it while camping as well. It's like a multitool, but one that you can wear on your wrist, and you don't have to worry about cutting yourself.

The GDB-H1000 Series is coming soon to BuyWatchesOnline!

Hello everyone! If you're just joining us, or even if you've been to our site before, you'll notice we've gotten a lot of Bluetooth Watches. We used to have only the GBA-400 series but that's completely changed. So in this post I figured I'd let you know how to set up, and use, whichever Bluetooth watch you have. Ready? Here We Go!

First up, let's stick with the GBA-400 series. What you need to do, on your Android or iPhone, is go to the app store and download the GMix App. With it, you'll be able to get your phone to play your favourite music. If there's music around you, you can even use the watch to find out the song title (Kind of like Shazam, except it's free). Best of all, you can program the phone to play a sound when you press a specific button on your watch (perfect if you want to get out of an awkward situation).

Then we've got the GBA-800 series. While the 400s were mostly focused on Music, the 800 is focused on your fitness. First pro tip here, when you install the app on your phone, make sure Bluetooth is already switched on. It'll save you some time during installation.

Right, while the GBA-400 had the GMix app, for this one you'll need G-Shock Connected. Once you open it up, select the watch you have, and in the next screen, you'll be asked to press the bottom right button on your watch for a few seconds.

Here's a cool side effect of connecting the phone to the watch - as soon as they're paired, the time on your watch will be exactly the same as on your phone. This means when you go overseas, as long as you have your phone, you can just repair it with the watch and the time will be automatically adjusted.

Holding the bottom right button on your watch for 3 seconds, will activate the phone finder mode. This means, if you can't find your phone, but it's in range and the Bluetooth is switched on, it'll turn on your ringtone (even if the phone was previously on silent). Definitely a great idea for people who like the vibrate only function on the phone, but have trouble remembering just where they left it!

Now, I mentioned this is a fitness watch, and it connects up to the Connected App, to keep track of the amount of steps you take. You input all the data into the phone, which then updates automatically on your watch. If you don't reach the step target, it will also start beeping at you, to remind you to hit your goal.

If you've got smaller hands, you can instead purchase the BSAB Series which has the exact same functions that I just talked about, but the watch itself is for ladies, kids, and people with smaller wrists.

Well, I hope you enjoyed this guide. It will work on any G-Shock/Baby-G Bluetooth watch. Until Next Time - Jimmy B!

Welcome/Welcome Back to our blog. While my last post was for top 10 G-Shocks for dads, this time I won't just limit myself to all the old favourites, but some new ones and maybe include a Citizen or two along the way. Ready? Here We Go!

10) Bulova 96A187 - Now, quite a few of you may be unfamiliar with the Bulova series, but they're a completely analogue alternative to the usual watches we sell here. If dad wants to keep it simple, then then 96A187 is the way to go. It has 3D numbers that jump out at you, and the screen isn't cluttered with switches.

9) GBD-800UC-8 - If dad is tech savy, and likes to stay fit, then you can't go wrong with the Casio G-Shock GBD800UC-8. This is part of Casio's G-Squad series, created exactly for those who want to stay healthy. It has a pedometer, and can connect to your phone via Bluetooth so dad can send data from watch to the phone, and keep an eye on his progress. Being fully digital also means the entire screen lights up when you turn on the backlight, making it easier to read.

8) GWG-1000-1A1 - One of a limited edition of Mudmaster watches, this all black time piece is completely weather resistant, solar powered so you don't have to change batteries, and can also automatically set the time in 6 different countries!

7) AW-5005-21Y - If you're sick of resin bands (or just don't like the way they feel), this Citizen watch has a green nylon strap, to match the looks of the display. Part of the Eco Drive range, this watch will always run, provided you keep it exposed to light for small parts of the day. The 24 hour clock is also great for those dads used to running on military time.

6) GGB-100-1A9 - Fit Dads and Army Dads rejoice! This GGB-100 series combines the best of both worlds. It's completely weather resistant, mud resistant, and has the Pedometer of the GBD-800 series, as well as the Bluetooth connectivity.

5) BJ7007-02L - This one has really been flying off the shelves recently! The band is nicely fitting leather, and the display is perfect for pilots. Completely analogue but easy to read, it's also part of the Eco-Drive series so you never have to worry about changing the batteries!

4) DW-5600BBN-1 - Take it from me, dads like to keep it simple, but they also like comfort. The DW-5600BBN-1 is both of those things! It's got a soft Cordura Fabric cloth band, which doesn't irritate the skin, and it's also fully digital. There aren't any switches you need to worry about, there are optional modes but you don't need to use them. Being fully digital also means they're very easy to read for those dads with bad eyesight.

3) GWB-5600BC-1B - No you're not seeing double, this watch and the one above it do look pretty similar. The only difference is, this one has bluetooth connectivity. This means you can use your watch to find your phone, as well as use the phone to set the time more accurately.

2) Bulova 96B256 - Known as the marine star watch, this is a great looking watch, that will fit dad's wrist, and it's also 100m water resistant so he can swim with it. Add to that, the safety bar and extender for the band and display, you've got a watch that's almost as sturdy as a G-Shock

1) GA-2000-5A  - One of the newer models in Casio's range, this watch is big, has a carbon core structure making it one of the most protected watches in the world, and if your dad doesn't like the band, it's easily interchangeable without needing to worry about pliers and screw drivers.

There you have it, the top 10 Newest Gifts for Father's Day. For a limited time, if you use the code TYDAD20, you get $20 off every watch in the cart, on top of our unbeatable 3 year extended warranty - Now that's a bargain!

Unless you're in America, Father's Day is fast approaching! With the lockdown in full swing pretty much everywhere, online shopping is the only way to go when you want to show your appreciation for Dad. What better way to show him that you care, than by giving him something that not only looks great, but he'll be able to use for years to come? Welcome to my blog, and today I'll be showing you the top 10 Casio G-Shocks for Father's Day. Ready? Here We Go!

10) GA-110-1B - A sturdy, no frills watch, dad will get the most bang for his buck, since even if he bumps his hand into a wall, the watch will keep on working!

9) GA-100CM-5A - The ultimate father/son activity is usually fishing and hunting. When you're out in the great outdoors, hunting your prey, you need to blend into the surroundings, and the GA-100CM-5A Camouflage watch will let you do just that, in any forested environment!

8) GA-100B-4A - Part of Casio's revolutionary GA-100 series, the GA-100B-4A is another great idea for dad. It's got an extra large display to fit both the analogue and digital side.

7) G-7900-1 - If your dad's a surfer, he'll love this tide graph watch! It's fully digital, easy to read, and can predict the tide for the next 12 hours (all you need to do is enter the time of high and low tide).

6) G-5600E-1 - How annoying is it to always change the batteries every few years? This solar powered digital watch will save your dad the hassle, since all you need to do is keep the watch exposed to light.

5) GA-100CF-1A9 - Another camo model, this watch has a unique design, where only the inside of the display is camouflaged, while the outside is dark enough to provide perfect cover at night.

4) GA-100-1A4 - One of the original ana/digi watches, this model is not just 100m shock resistant, but can also resist water pressure of up to 200m. Your dad can go swimming with it and as long as he doesn't press buttons while submerged, the watch will be just fine.

3) GA-110GB-1A - If your dad likes bling, then he'll love the black and gold combination of this watch on his wrist. Unlike the GA-100 series, the digital display of the GA-110 is at the top and bottom of the watch, making it easier to see.

2) GA-100-1A1 - If dad's working near lots of electrical equipment, including magnets, then the GA-100 series is perfect for that, as it has an innate magnetic resistance to ensure the watch keeps running smoothly!

1) GA-100-1A2 - Does your dad like to keep active? One of the things the GA-100 is known for is the 1/1000-sec stopwatch. That's one of the most accurate stopwatches in the world, and can also be used to measure your speed while going from point A to point B.

Welcome, and to all the old readers, welcome back! I've got a real treat for out female fitness fans (though boys shouldn't feel left out). Casio has released the BGS100SC Casio Baby-G Series, and I'm here to tell you all what it's about. Best of all, this isn't a coming soon article, since the watches are available NOW! Ready? Let's get to it!

First up is the BGS100SC-1A. Like I said, boys shouldn't feel left out, as this watch is perfectly suitable for them to wear. It's completely black, from the band to the display and background. In fact, the only white it has is on the digital numbers, as well as the analogue hands or hour markers. The watch looks like it's taken a step back from all of the technological advancements. While this isn't exactly true, one great sideffect is the display is much easier to look at than some of the more technological watches. The screen is definitely less cluttered.

Next up we have the blue and pink BGS100SC-2A. The band is a sky blue, while the bezel is pink. This is also shown inside the display, with the hour markers being a mix of pink and light blue. Unlike the 100SC-1A, the 2A has a regular display, which is easier to see during the day.

Moving on, we have the pastel pink/rose gold BGA100SC-4A. The band here is difficult to describe, with some people claiming it's pink, and others saying rose gold, so we'll let you decidde. The bezel is grey. along with the hands. The hour markers are a mixture of grey and purple, and again it has the regular display.

Finally, we have the BGA100SC-7A. This one is white from the band, to the bezel, buttons and arrows. The hour markers are a silvery grey and they stand out to make them easier to see. It also gives a 3D effect with the markers looking like they're about to come out of the screen.

Now that we're done with the looks, let's talk features, and boy there are a LOT to talk about! First off, this is a pedometer watch. What this means is, you can use it to count the number of steps you take (or your kids if the watch is for them). Now, we all know kids like to slack off sometimes (so do adults if we're being honest), so you can set an alarm that will go off whenever the watch can tell you're not moving enough to hit your goal data.

You notice the two circles between the 7 and 8 hour marker? They will actually flash whenever you're walking while the pedometer is on. This helps ensure that the watch is working correctly. Also a great way to remind you to turn on the pedometer, if you walk and notice they're not flashing.

Another cool feature is when you set the alarm. Now, if you notice, the digital screen is a little bit smaller than most of our ana/digi combos. When you turn the alarm on there is a bell icon, but sometimes it's hard to see. That's where the seconds hand comes in handy (if you pardon the pun)! When you're in alarm mode, if it's turned off, the seconds hand will move to off, and on if it's on.

Finally, for those who are very strict with their exercise, or want more data than just how many steps they've walked, these watches include a graph that can tell you how many steps you've taken in the past four or five hours.

The BGS-100SC series is now available on BuyWatchesOnline! Until Next Time - Jimmy B

Welcome back fans of Casio Watches, and a big welcome to anybody new here too! In today's post, I'll show you the top 10 Baby-G Watches that were sold in July 2020. If you're not sure what to get your kids, or your girlfriend/wife/sister, this is the perfect post for you. Ready? Here We Go!

10) BGA-150PG-2B2 - Don't let the moniker Baby-G fool you - these watches are for boys and girls alike. With a navy blue band, your little boy/brother can wear it as readily as your daughter/sister/girlfriend.

9) BG-169M-4 - This one however is just for girls. It's pink, from the band, to even the face. It's also completely digital, making it a lot easier to see the time. At night, simply turn on the backlight, and you'll still be able to tell the time.

8) BG-169G-7B - The BG-169G-7B is another unisex model with a clear strap, which makes it look pretty cool on your wrist. The face guard helps protect the display if you happen to fall over - you might break your wrist, but the display will be A-OK :)

7) BG-169G-4B - Another of the 169G series, this model also includes a rare feature called a Databank Memory, letting you program phone numbers into the watch!

6) BA-110BC-1A - A complement to the GA-110-1B, this watch is great as part of a his and hers package, or even for the boys who want a watch just like their dad's. Smaller in size but not skimping on many of the features.

5) BA-110-7A1 - Slightly easier to read than a few models, due to having a regular display, the watch is 100m water resistant as well as being shock resistant, so you can take it practically anywhere.

3) BSA-B100MF-1A - The first female bluetooth watch, this model has a step tracker so you can see how far you've walked. A real surprise that it's debuting at number 3, especially considering it only just became available on our (virtual) shelves late June!
