Top Casio Watches

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.

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

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 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.

Welcome back to our blog, and today, I'll be spotlighting the all new GM5600 Series. This puts metallic parts into the 5600 model, making them look good, and improving the durability! Ready? Here We Go

First up is the original - GM5600-1D. It's got a black band with a metallic silver bezel, protecting the screen. Fully digital, it has a negative display, but using the backlight you'll easily be able to see the time.

Next we've got the GM5600B-1D. If you're a fan of colour coordination, and would prefer the band and bezel to perfectly match, this watch is for you. The metal bezel here is black ion plated, but still light enough that it doesn't add too much weight to your wrist.

The GM5600B-3D is probably best described as the army watch. The olive green band matches the bushes, so you can blend right in. The background of the display is also olive green, while the bezel is again ion plated.

Not a fan of black? Perhaps transparent with a hint of camouflage grey strikes your fancy? Then you'll be after the GM5600SCM-1. The band is a transparent grey/off white, while the bezel is forged, cut, polished and then given a camouflage look by way of a laser. The display is a regular white on black, with grey camo colouring in the background.

Are you an Iron Man fan? Or simply like a watch that looks more unique than the ones your friends have? then you'll want the GM5600CX-4D. A red band is followed by a gold ion plated bezel. the background of the display is a garish red, and from afar (as well as up close) the design and colours of the watch make you think of Iron Man's iconic suit.

Finally, if you just want to stand out from the crowd, with a time piece that can look like a dress watch, you'll be after the GM5600SG-9. It's got a white band with a gold ion plated bezel and buttons. The display is a regular black on white, which stands out from the rest of the gold background.

Well, those were the looks, but what exactly can these watches do? If you've had a 5600 watch before, you know the display numbers are much larger than your regular digital watch. This is very helpful if you have poor eyesight. You won't have any trouble reading either one of these 6 models.

The watches are also water resistant 200m, which is helpful if you want to swim. Take my advice though, don't press any buttons while submerged. Also, don't bathe or wash dishes with the watch on, because running water weakens the seal.

The GM5600 Metal Series is coming very soon to Buy Watches Online!

Until Next Time - Jimmy B

Welcome back to the upcoming models section, and boy have we got a good one coming soon. It's a G-Steel watch that has, among other features, a 1/1000-sec stopwatch (one of the most accurate in the world, that's even used to judge Olympic sports!)

Now. the first thing you'll definitely notice is, the metallic bezel is decorated in strange colours. The wildlife enthusiasts among you will know, those colours depict the skin of the African Rock Python. Not only that, the box that this watch comes in, is also decorated in the matching colour tones. This is an analogue/digital watch, with the numbers and hour markers in a bronze colour, making them pop and be a lot more visible.

Like I said though, those are just the looks, but now let's see what features we have to play with? Firstly, it's a Bluetooth watch. The Mobile Link feature allows you to connect the watch to your phone, to make sure your time is always right. No more need to manually change the home city, simply make sure Bluetooth is switched on in your phone!

A cool lesser known feature with the Bluetooth is, if you've lost your phone, you can turn on a feature on the watch, and as long as you're in range, your phone will start ringing (at full volume, overriding the silent mode).

The watch is also solar powered, which is quite helpful if you hate changing your battery every few years. Thing is, solar powered is actually underselling the usefulness of this feature, because you don't even need the sunlight to charge your watch! ANY light source will do. Sun obviously charges the watch faster, but if you leave it under a light at night, by the time you wake up, the watch should be pretty much at full power.

One of the things people hate about analogue/digital combo watches is, the digital display doesn't have a very good backlight. This is fixed in the GSTB-300WLP, thanks to a dual LED Light (one for the analogue display, the other for digital).

If you're a fitness fanatic, or simply like to jog and keep up with your times, you know how important it is to have an unimpeded view of the stopwatch. with the hands being so large, if they ever get in your way, you can turn on the hand shift feature, to move the hands to the 12 o'clock position, giving you an unobstructed view. Afterwards, disable the feature and the hands go back to where they should have been.

You demanded it, and we're getting it VERY SHORTLY! The GBDH1000 Heart Rate Monitor watch combines the latest in fitness technology, without the need for a bulky chest band! I'm really excited to share what this series has to offer, so without further ado, let's get to it!

First up, the GBDH1000-1A. This is a solid black watch, with a black band, bezel, and an extra-large digital screen. As you can see, the screen shows the time, your heart rate, distance walked/ran and your pace (which is how long a km would take at your current speed - but we'll talk about that later on).

Next up is the GBDH1000-1A4. While it has a black band too, the bezel is transparent grey, with gold screws, and orange writing. The band itself, along with the buttons are peppered with orange and caramel colours.

Then we've got the GBDH1000-1A7. While we're used to any model starting with 1 to be black, this watch shakes things up a bit. the bezel is black, but the band is white with a bit of lime green.

The GBDH1000-4A is next on this list. It's almost fully red, apart from the dark blue bezel. One interesting thing about all of these watches (and the ones that'll follow), is the band kind of looks like a set of claws, clamping onto the bezel. Definitely makes for a unique look.

The GBDH1000-7A9 is almost a carbon copy of the 1A7, with the only differences being the bezel is transparent grey. The green parts here are a bit more prominent, going onto the buttons themselves to match the motif.

Finally, we have the GBDH1000-8. This one is a darkey shade of grey, making it less transparent. It's got red and black buttons, with red writing on the outside of the display. Now, one thing I should mention is, unlike the other watches I've reviewed, these ones ALL have a negative display. That's not a bad thing in this case, though. Well, now that we're done staring at these beauties, let's have a look at what they actually do.

This first part is self explanatory - they're heart rate monitor watches. To accurately measure your heart rate without any chest strap, they use an optical sensor. In layman's terms, they use light, to measure tissue change (when your heart rate is high, there's less light, and when it's low there's more). This was created by a company called FIRSTBEAT, which was made specifically to keep track of your running information.

Another feature that they have come up with is your pace. After running/walking for a bit, the watch uses the GPS to generate information on how long it'll take you to do a Kilometre at your current pace. I took it out for a test run, and it was accurate to the second, always taking your new speed into account when you go faster.

Now, if you're familiar with the GBA800 series, the GBD800, as well as the countless female step counter watches, you might think there's nothing that can surprise you, but Casio has outdone themselves. You can download your entire step history since you started using the watch. So you can see exactly how many steps you took every day, as well as create a fitness plan based on your past results.

This covers the exercise part of the features, but there are plenty of other features. The watch is rechargeable in two ways. Firstly it's solar powered, so all you have to do is have it in the sunlight and you won't lose power. Secondly, if you're anywhere near a computer (or your smart phone charger) you can plug the watch in, and it charges up.

The watch includes plenty of exploring features, such as a GPS, which ensures you don't get lost. It also has a digital compass, barometer, altimeter and thermometer. If you need to set an alarm, it also has a vibrating function if you want to keep it on silent.

The GBDH1000 Series has been long requested, and will be coming very soon to BuyWatchesOnline! Don't forget to take advantage of our $20 off voucher, by using the code BWOXX118 before you check out.

Welcome back to our blog. As you've probably noticed by reading my articles, I list both the good and bad in my reviews. I prefer to be transparent, and now Casio has decided to adapt that approach, with their Transparent Series of G-Shocks. Let's see just what's in store for us soon.

First up is the GA2000SKE-8A. This is a transparent grey version of the GA2000 series. Just like its original, the GA2000SKE has the added feature of interchangeable bands, so if you like the face but not the band, change it to any other band you've got. The hands are dark grey, while the hour markers are almost pitch black, but due to them looking thicker, you can still see the analogue time.

Next is the GA900SKE-8A. which has a larger digital screen, making it easy to see the time. Again, the band here is a transparent grey. You'll also notice that with both watches, the buttons like like they're kind of stuck in. That's to ensure that if you wear it while training, you won't accidentally activate a feature you don't want.

Finally, we have the GA110SKE-1A. Based on the popular GA110 series, the numbers do look a little brighter, but apart from that, the change is mostly aesthetic, with the addition of the transparent band.

So, we've got three cool new models, but what do they do? Well, let's go in order. For the GA2000SKE, it's one of the easiest to see in the dark, because of its heavy duty dual LED light feature. Unlike most ana/digi combos, the GA2000SKE has a seperate light for the analogue and digital faces. This takes care of the biggest complaint of ana/digi watches (that the backlight doesn't make it any easier to read the digital screen).

Another nice feature is the hand shift. As you can see, the hands are pretty thick, which can get in the way of the digital display. When you use the hand shift feature though the hands move to the 12 o'clock position, so you can clearly see the digital time. Once you're done, get out of the mode and the hands go back to where they're supposed to be (even accounting for the seconds/minutes between the hand shift feature, and back to timekeeping mode.

While the GA900SKE doesn't have dual LED Lights, it does have a super illuminator, which performs a similar function. The digital screen itself is also much bigger than the GA2000SKE, making it a better alternative if you're more interested in the digital time.

The watch also has a 7 year battery life, which is great if you hate changing batteries every few years.

Finally, the GA110SKE. The GA110, when it came out, revolutionised the way people see analogue/digital combo watches. And that innovation has stuck around. The GA110SKE has a 1/1000-sec stop watch, which is so accurate that judges for the Olympics use that sort of stop watch.

The watch also keeps its magnetic resistance, so electric and magnetic environments won't mess with the mechanisms inside.

There you have it, readers - The SKE Transparent Grey G-Shock series is coming soon to Buy Watches Online! Until Next Time - Jimmy B

At first glance, G-Shocks and Baseball have nothing in common, but if you think about it, this collaboration embodies what Casio G-Shocks are all about. New Era has been around for over 100 years now, and Casio's watches, they're tough enough to stick around just as long! In today's column, I'll be discussing the all new GM110NE-1A. Ready? Here We Go!

Now, as you can see, right at the bottom of the band, it says 1920-2020. As mentioned, that is how long New Era has been supplying people with sportswear. Heck, the baseball cap design they created, has been around since 1954. I guess that's one difference though, between New Era and G-Shocks - Casio's designs evolve every so often.

The bezel is black ion plated, which protects the display even more than a stainless steel bezel. The hands and hour markers are gold, and the digital display is actually regular, not negative, which makes it easier to see the time.

The inside of the band is green, and looks like the inside of the New Era Cap. However, it also comes with a different band, which is semi transparent, and is easily interchangeable (so you can put on whichever band you feel like.

If that's not impressive enough, the gold plated back, with the New Era logo really makes it stand out from the pack. Now that we've talked about the looks, let's see what features we've got.

First up, this is based on the GA-110 series, which is automatically a great sign. It's not only 200m water resistant, as well as shock resistant, but it's also resistant to magnetic waves, making it stay accurate even around lots of electrical equipment.

Another great feature that carried over, is the 1/1000-sec stopwatch. This type of stopwatch is so accurate, the judges at the Olympics use one when timing athletes. There's even a speed measurement option, which can give you a rough estimate of your speed depending on how long each lap is.

As mentioned before, the watch is resistant to 200m water pressure, so if you feel like going for a swim, feel free to keep it on your wrist. As long as you don't press the buttons while submerged (or the watch is wet), this timeepiece will keep on ticking!

There you have it folks, the GM110NE-1A is coming soon, for a VERY limited time, to BuyWatchesOnline!

Until Next Time - Jimmy B!
