Ladies and gentlemen, have I got a treat for you? The most annoying thing about Casio Analogue/Digital watches is how hard they are to see during the day, because the display is always dark, with the numbers sometimes being impossible to tell. Well Casio has listened to your (and our) complaints, and came out with the Midnight Fog watches. These three models are from our most popular range, so you should definitely find something for yourself, or a loved one! Ready? Here We Go!

First up is the GM110MF-1A. This is our featured GA110 Range, but with a transparent band. As you can see from the picture, the bezel reflects the light, making it stand out all the more. The analogue hands and hour markers are extra large but they don't overshadow the digital display, which, as mentioned earlier, is a perfect balance of black numbers on a white display.

Next up we have the GM2100MF-5A. While the previous model was fully black, this has a metallic bronze bezel, which bleeds onto the band, giving it a very unique mix of colours. The hands and hour markers are treated with a neobrite solution so when you press the light button at night, they will light up. The digital display here is a bit on the small side but it's easy to tell the time and you won't have to squint if the daylight is too bright.

Finally, we have the GM5600MF-2D, part of the original G-5600E series. As you can see it keeps the transparent band, and also adds a dark blue ion plated bezel for protection, and to accentuate the display. It's fully digital, with the numbers and letters being extra large, making it a lot easier to read the time if you have poor eyesight.

Right, now that we've seen these watches, let's talk about their best features.

Starting from the GM110MF, the GA-110 series has been the torchbearer for the Analogue/Digital combo watch. They still consistently sell and are on the top 10 lists of any jewellery store I've been to. One of the reasons is the magnetic resistance, which means you can go to a heavily magnetised area (or work in one) and the watch will still work perfectly. Another reason for the popularity is the 1/1000-sec stopwatch. Considered the most accurate in the business, even Olympics judges use 1/1000-sec stopwatches to get the most accurate time possible.

With the GM2100MF-5A, this is part of the GA2100 Series. They were the first ones to add a dual light so both the analogue and digital screens would be lit up at night if you needed them to be. As you can see above, the digital display is a bit small, so Casio added the hand shift feature, which will move the hands to the 12 o'clock position, letting you see the digital time.

Finally, the GM5600MF-2D. As mentioned before, it's based on the world renowned G-5600E-1, which was one of the first G-Shocks in existence. It is fully digital which means that at night, all you have to do is press the backlight button, and the entire screen will light up. As mentioned, the numbers are extra large, and the watch itself, like the other two I mentioned, is 200m water resistant.

The Midnight Fog Series is Coming Soon to BuyWatchesOnline.com.au!

Welcome back to our blog! Today, I'll be highlighting an EXCLUSIVE to BuyWatchesOnline watch series, the BGD560WL! As of this writing, we are the first sellers in Australia to get our hands on this series, and after playing around with them for a bit, we can tell both kids and some kids at heart, will love them! Ready? Let's Get To It!

First up is the BGD-560WL-2D. The band is a dark, purplish blue, with purple writing at the top and bottom of the bezel. If you look at the outer pictures just before the digital display, you'll notice snow flakes, and the colours themselves remind you of the progression of light throughout the day, when you're at the mountains, or anywhere there's snow (definitely brought up a lot of fun memories for me). The display is fully digital, which means when you turn on the backlight, the entire screen lights up.

Next up is the BGD560WL-4D. Now, this one is PERFECT for the little princesses. It's a transparent pink, with shades of early morning surrounding the digital display. The numbers are large enough that even if you have bad eyesight, you'll easily be able to see the time.

Finally, we have the BGD560WL-7D. If the other two were watches mostly aimed for girls, the 7D is more unisex. The band is off white, like partially melted snow, and the background surrounding the digital display looks a lot like mid day sky, with the snow falling almost into the screen.

So, we've talked about the looks, but what does this watch have to offer?

Well, first up, as mentioned from the start, it's fully digital. Why should that matter? Because unlike ana/digi combos, the backlight light up the entire display at night. That's one of the main issues people have with combo watches, so a digital watch is perfect for this.

The large display area also means there's no need for annoying, complicated dials, it's a very simple screen with the day, date and time all showing on the screen in clear writing. You can even press a button and change it to the date instead of time.

The watch is 200m water resistant, so you can go swimming with it. Great if you don't want to take it off, but make sure you don't press any buttons until you're back on dry land, and the watch is dry as well. If you want to see the time under water (hopefully you have goggles on already), you can just turn on the Auto LED light before you dive in. Then, when you move your wrist to a 45 degree angle, the light will automatically come on.

Weighing only 44g, this is a light weight watch, perfect for kids (and the snow theme means it's a great Christmas present!) It's coming soon, to BuyWatchesOnline

I'll let you in on a little secret - before I was a blog writer, I did my time as a customer service rep, and one of the questions people loved to ask - WHY do I really need what you're selling? Well, that is a very good question, and I've compiled a list that should help you make up your mind! Ready? Here We Go!

Toughness! That word does get thrown around a lot, but what does it really mean? Well according to Casio themselves, their watches are built to last! I was in the gym a couple of years back (before this pandemic hit), and I banged my wrist on the wall. OUCH! Do NOT recommend! But the amazing thing was, my GSTS-110-1A was still ticking along, working normally! Even swimming didn't hurt it (though I do have to remember not to press any buttons while submerged or wet)
.

Tons of features! This one is a bit hard to categorize because there are watches here for anything you need. The two most popular ones are the Rangeman and the Mudmaster. These are basically the Leatherman of watches in that they have a feature for any situation you find yourself in!

Futureproof - Oh yes that is definitely something that's needed. With technology evolving so quickly, Casio seems to be one of the few that's staying on top of its game! They have watches that are not only solar powered (so you don't have to worry about changing batteries) but some that can measure your steps, while others are perfect for surfers, thanks to the tide graph feature.

Trendsetters! Yes these watches aren't only worn by the average Joe, people like EMINEM, The Undertaker, all sorts of celebrities proudly wear their Casio watches on their wrists! Check out this earlier article spotlighting just a few watches that celebrities wear!

Accurate - Now, I know what you're thinking, "shouldn't that be every watch??" And that's a good point. However, I'm not just talking about telling the time. There are watches that Casio came up with, which use a 1/1000-sec Stopwatch. These stopwatches are so accurate, that judges at the Olympics use them when timing athletes! If they're good enough for the Olympics, you'll definitely find them great!

Stylish! This one should be self explanatory. The watches Casio brings out will fit in on your wrist, and some may make you the subject of envy among your friends! There are camouflage watches, Stainless Steel watches, every few months, Casio comes out with crossover watches as well! Basically, you're spoiled for choice!

Handy for Survival - Yes, it may be hard to believe, but these watches can save your life! The Rangeman and Mudmaster that we mentioned before have a compass, which can help you navigate your way back into civilisation if you've gotten lost! Weather resistant, water resistant, shock resistant, no matter what situation you find yourself in, a G-Shock will most likely help you get out of it!

I hope this article helped you make up your mind! Thanks for reading, and don't forget, use the code BWOXTENDXX for $20 off and 3 years Extended Warranty! Until Next Time - Jimmy B

Welcome back to our blog! Today, I'll be highlighting not just our range of G-Shocks (some that are coming soon), but showing you just how popular they are, with even the celebrities preferring to wear G-Shocks over other brands! Ready? Here We Go!

Eminem - GM-110G-1A9 

That's right, the real Slim Shady prefers a G-Shock! The best thing about this model is, even though it looks expensive, you more likely need to worry about the size of your wrist, not how big your wallet is. Here's a closer look at this watch.

The DEAD MAN (The Undertaker) - GWG1000-1A

This one definitely took me by surprise but as a prowrestling fan, this definitely excited me. Even if you're not a fan of wrestling, you should know, the Undertaker is HUGE, so it doesn't surprise me that he wears a watch that's as unbreakable as he seems to be! Here's a closer look.

Benicio Del Toro - GX56BB-1

If you're wondering who this man is, you definitely need to watch a few movies such as Guardians of the Galaxy (he's got a small part but, in my opinion, he steals the show whenever he's featured!). This man obviously films outside, so it makes sense that he bought the GX-56BB-1, since it's solar powered and doesn't need a battery change every few years. Here's a closer look.

50 Cent - G7900-1

We started off with one legendary rapper, so might as well finish it off with another! 50 Cent is a known celebrity who prefers to keep it simple with his watch style, so he decided on the G-7900 series. If he were to try surfing, he'd find the tide graph detector a welcome addition, that's already built in to these watches. Here's a closer look.

Well, there you have it. The majority of these watches are already available to purchase on our site, and the GM110G-1A9 is actually coming in a few weeks. Until Next Time - Jimmy B

Welcome back to the blog (and welcome to all the new readers!), today we're highlighting a brand new series called the AW500MNT. This is perfect for people who love the clubbing scene, so if you're into music, you're bound to find something you like! Ready? Let's Get To It!

First up is the AW500MNT-1A. As you can see, the band is quite thicker when compared to most of the other Casios we sell. The background is almost completely empty, which means less clutter - all you have is the 15, 30, 45 and 00 hour markers. Those, along with the hands, actually glow in the dark so you'll be able to see the time at night. The rest of the background looks like laser effect lights, and they appear throughout the entire face.

Then we have the AW-500MNT-8A. This one is Grey, with orange writing, and just like the black version, has strobing laser lights all over the face of the watch. Though the numbers of the analogue side are a little harder to read due to the orange colouring, the digital part is still very easy to see.

So, why should you buy this watch? Well, first up it's a limited edition crossover watch, so collectors will definitely want to take a look! It was designed by YOSHIROTTEN, who's an extremely popular graphic designer in Japan. This guy is the go to for fashion design, brand packaging and other advertising projects.

Now, this model is beautiful looking, and pretty plain, which is actually better for some because there's no extra dials to confuse you. If you just want to see the time, the watch is perfect for that.

As with all the other Casio watches, this is 100m shock resistant, and 200m water resistant, which means you can take it with you anywhere (and with the multitude of colours on the band and inside the screen, it's going to be hard to lose!

The AW-500MNT is coming very soon to Buy Watches Online!

Welcome back everyone, to our blog, and today I'll be spotlighting a brand new addition to the BA130 Series, the Casio BA-130VC Baby-G watch! These watches look great on your wrist, and they definitely stand out from the crowd! Ready? Here We Go!

First up is the BA130VC-2A. This watch has a transparent blue band, which matches the look on the inside of the watch. It's a mixture of light and slightly darker shades of blue, and even the background of the digital screen matches. On the bottom of the band, you can see Catch The Vibe, a slogan that embodies the Hip Hop culture of the 90s and early 2000s, and it's one that Riehata (Casio's partner in this venture) takes to heart.

Then we have the BA130VC-4A. This one is a flowery pink, with the differing shades and hour markers making it look more like a flower than most watches. A great gift for birthdays, Christmas or Valentine's day if you want to give her something unique!

Finally, we have the BA130CVG-7A. In case you didn't figure it out by looking at it, the G stands for gold, and this off-white and gold watch definitely knows just how to show itself off! the background, hands and hour markers are gold, as is the Baby-G logo on the transparent band.

So now that we've seen what the watches look like, just what is it that they do? Well, first up it seems Casio has listened when customers complained that the darker digital screens are hard to read, because they did away with those completely. The background may be different shades of blue, pink or grey, but the numbers are still easy to see.

The hands and hour markers are covered in a neobrite material, making them glow in the dark with just a minimal exposure to light. This is perfect for seeing the time at night.

The great thing about Casio watches is not just the amount of features they have, but also their durability. These watches are shock resistant, meaning even if you throw them, the internal functions will still operate. They are also 100m water resistant, though I would recommend against taking a shower with them or running tap water on them, because that weakens the seal.

The BA130CV series is Coming Soon to BuyWatchesOnline!

Top 10 Casio G-Shocks for Christmas

Ho-Ho-Ho!!! With the BuyWatchesOnline 365 day returns policy our watches make the perfect presents and here's 10 we think you'll love! Ready to get a head start? Let’s get to it.

10) GST-S110-1A – This metallic watch not only looks good, it’s extremely tough and can withstand a lot of punishment. Not to mention the fact it’s a solar watch (which means no more having to change batteries)!

9) GWG-1000-1A3/GG-1000-1A3 – Okay I cheated a bit by putting them together... but it was just too hard to separate. Part of the Mudmaster series, the GG-1000 is the economical choice, while the GWG has more great features.

8) G-6900-1 – Sticking with the solar theme, the G6900-1 is a fully digital watch, based on the earliest G-Shock designs. It also includes a powerful backlight, letting you see the time even in total darkness.

7) GA-100-1A2 – Casio revolutionised the G-Shock watch with its first Extra-Large case model. As you can see, it’s got a much bigger face, so both the analogue and digital parts fit. If you’re not sure if you want an analogue or a digital watch, why not get a watch with both?

6) GA-110-1A – Taking customer advice into consideration, Casio redesigned the GA-100 to make this model. The digital screen is split into two parts again, but this time they’re at the top and bottom for enhanced visibility. As with the GA-100, these watches come with water resistance, shock resistance and even magnetic resistance! For athletes, there’s also a 1/1000-sec stopwatch, so you can tell how fast you’re running.

5) GA-110DC-1A – This offshoot of the GA-110 is a denim styled resin watch that’ll fit right in with your denim clothes. It keeps all the features you loved, while adding a band and motif doesn’t look cheap sitting on your wrist.

4) GA-700-2A – Another watch that’s revolutionising the combo watches, the GA-700 series has a dual LED light, which lights up both the analogue and digital screen – a feature that’s been requested for a long time. It also has a direct start button for the stopwatch, so you can skip searching through the modes.

3) GA-710GB-1A – Wanna bling up your watch? If you’re a fan of the GA-700 series but think it just looks too plain, the GA-710s are a cool alternative. This one in particular is black with gold surrounding it. Even the light button is gold.

2) GBA-400-1A9 – Long before Smart Watches became a fad, Casio had their own version. While this one doesn’t read your email, you can program it to change the songs on your phone’s playlist. It also comes with a free Shazam-like app, that’ll tell you all about any songs playing in the background.

1) GW-9400-1 – A mainstay on a lot of top ten lists, and for good reason. The Rangeman is known as a Master of G (a title only given to the best of the best). It comes with a compass, is solar powered, has a barometer and fully digital. If you want to go on a trip, this is a watch to get.

Take a Closer Look at the Casio Baby-G BGA-240 Series!

Welcome back to our column, and today I’ll be highlighting a model that’s started to get a lot of attention lately – the BGA-240 Running Series. Now, this watch took over from the BG-6903 as the go-to female running watch. Though I have to say, even though it’s marketed as a female time piece, boys can wear some of these models as well. Ready to learn more about them? Let’s go.

First up is the BGA-240-1A1. As you can see from the picture above, it’s almost completely black, including the display, with the hands, hour markers, and digital numbers on the screen being white.

If you’ve got (or seen somebody with) a GA-110 watch, or the new GA-700 series, then the screen setup will seem familiar, as it has the digital time and date split onto the top and bottom of the screen.

Next up, the BGA240-1A2. There’s not much to say about the look of the watch, as it’s identical to the 1A1 apart from the hour markers and band protectors being a lime green. Another thing these two watches have in common is they’re the only two in the series to feature a negative display – white digital numbers on a black background/display.

Now, remember I mentioned that boys can wear some of these watches? This next one is a girls only watch, the BGA240-4A. Yeah, that’s why, since it’s completely pink I doubt any boy will want to wear this watch, but girls love this model. The hands are a combination of hot pink and white, making them, as well as the hour markers easy to see.

Finally, we have the BGA-240-7A. As you can see, it’s exactly the same as the 1A, but with the colours swapped, so it’s got a white band, with black hour markers and hands. As mentioned before, The 4A and 7A have the normal screens that people are used to (black numbers on a white display).

That’s just the looks though, so time to see what’s under the hood (so to speak). Now, the first thing you’ll definitely notice is that the watches are a combo analogue-digital. Not to worry though, unlike the early combos, the analogue and digital screens are a roughly similar size and it’s easy to see the time on both displays.

I mentioned it’s a running watch, and it’s quite easy to see why. With the digital screens being split and pretty large, when you turn on the stopwatch you can easily see, not only the amount of time that you’re running, but at the top it’ll tell you how many laps you’ve done. A great training tool! On top of that, you can also save the records of up to 60 laps, letting you go over your times so you’ll know how much you need to improve.

As an athlete’s watch, it’s important for the timepiece to be sturdy and capable of bouncing back from the usual scrapes and falls associated with sports. With shock resistance and 100m water resistance, this series won’t let you down.

Thanks for reading. If you’re interested in the original BG-6903 Series then click here.
