Top Casio Watches

Welcome back, and Happy New Year to all of our readers! Today, I'll be showcasing two new watches, built specifically for the Chinese New Year. These are the red and gold GM5600CX-4D and GM6900CX-4D. Both of these watches are bound to bring lots of eyes to your wrists. Ready? Here We Go!

The GM5600CX-4 is up first. It's got a red band with a gold bezel and buttons. The area before the display is a darker shade of purplish red, while the display itself is bright red with white numbers. It's kind of a strange version of a negative display, but it works! If you turn the watch around, the back of it has an Ox symbol, which commemorates the Chinese New Year of the Ox.

Then we have the GM6900CX-4. As you can see, the gold is quite a bit thicker here, and also encompasses the G button underneath the display (which is used to turn on/off the automatic backlight feature). The buttons here are thicker, and the display actually has 3 dials right above the digital time. Now, the background of these surroundings looks more pink than red, so it's also possible for girls to wear the watch as well.

Now that I've talked about the looks, let's see some of the features! First the GM5600CX. As you can see from the first picture, this one looks less busy when it comes to the display. Due to this, you can see the numbers more clearly as they're much larger than on other displays.

If you find yourself outside at night, and you can't see the time, simply press the light button, and the backlight will light up the entire screen.

Do you enjoy swimming? Leave the watch on, as it's able to withstand 200m of water pressure! Though just be careful not to press the buttons while submerged.

While the GM6900CX has most of the same features, you'll notice it has 3 starry dials right above the display. Those dials fill up when you're using specific watch functions, and can serve as a reminder that you may not have turned off a feature (helpful if you want to save battery power).

There you have it, the GM5600 and GM6900CX-4 Series are coming soon to Buy Watches Online! And remember, if you use the code BWOXTENDXX you'll get $20 off and 3 years Extended Warranty!

Well, 2020 is almost over, so I figured we'd end this weird year on a slightly different note. That's why, I'll be talking about the best Summer Watch to get. Now, depending on what you like to do in the summer, that can be a huge range of watches, so if you're ready... Let's Get To It!

For the looks: Casio Baby-G BG-169M-1DR - If you want a summer watch that looks good, there's actually a few things that you need to think about; will it stay looking good? How heavy does it need to be? In this case, not heavy at all (only 46g) and it's hard to get a black band dirty, so ladies, if it's just for appearances, I'd recommend the simple BG-169M-1. The screen protectors also help make sure display doesn't get damaged.

For Fitness (for kids): Casio Baby-G BSAB100-7A - Now, you'll notice I said for kids, and that's because there's another one coming for the adults as well, but let's start here first. The BSAB100-7A is a Bluetooth compatible watch, which will let you connect to the phone to set the exact time. On top of that, it's a fitness watch, with a pedometer, letting you keep an eye on how many steps you've done.

For Fitness (for adults): Casio G-Shock GBD800UC-8 - For the adults version, I decided to go with the Digital version, the GBD800UC. That's only because it's a lot easier to read, and the screen is much larger, so you can easily keep an eye on your stopwatch or your steps, without needing to slow down.

For Surfing (for kids): Casio Baby-G BLX570-7 - Again a Baby-G that boys and girls can wear, this is a great surfing watch. By putting in the low tide and high tide time, this watch can predict the tides for up to 12 hours, making it a very useful practice watch. Plus, it's digital, so if you have a hard time seeing the time, all you need to do is press the light button, and the entire screen gets lit up.

For Surfing (for adults): Casio Gulfman G-Shock G9100-1 - For our last watch, I went with the G-9100-1 for two reasons. First, because it's got a black band it's harder to scratch, so it'll stay looking newer for longer. Secondly, out of all of our digital watches, this has been the best seller to date. You can change the moon phase, set high tide and low tide, and thanks to the 200m water resistance, you can even swim with the watch on.

There you have it, our top Summer Watches. Until Next Time, Happy New Year - Jimmy B

Ladies, (as well as some gentlemen), if you're into surfing, this article is sure to whet your appetite! The All New, Limited Edition BAX100 BABY-G Surfer Watch is coming, very soon, to BuyWatchesOnline.com.au! What's it all about? Let's take a look!

First up is the BAX100-1A. Analogue and digital, the hands and hour markers practically glow, making it easy to see during the day and at night. Since it's pretty much all black, with only a hint of pink/purple (The WR100BAR writing), boys can wear it too. The digital display, unlike most ana/digi combo models is standard, so you don't have to squint to make out the writing.

If you're a boy and uncomfortable with any pink, then the BAX100-3A is for you. A pastel green watch will look as manly on your wrist as any other! The buttons on the side are metallic, easy to find and use.

Finally, the BAX100-7A. Pretty much identical to the others, except it's white, though the pink writing might make the boys rethink their choice. Being fair in my reviews, I have to mention that white resin bands do get dirty pretty quickly, but they are very easy to clean.

So, now that we've got the looks cleared up, let's see some of the features.

First up, you'll notice that the watch has a new type of glass. It's called inorganic glass and is basically the next step up from Sapphire Glass. It's almost indestructible, and scratch proof, making sure your watch stays looking as good as the day you bought it!

As a surfing watch, this model comes with a tide graph. What that means is, you put in the time of low tide and high tide, and you can use the tide graph to find the approximate level of the tide at any time you want (perfect for preparing for surfing competitions)! If you're having difficulty working the graph, check out this handy guide.

Finally, we have a moon phase indicator, which is great not just for surfers, but for astronomers as well. This handy little screen (located between the 7 and 8 hour markers) shows a picture of what the moon will look like that night, so if you like star/moon gazing, it's a great tool to have.

The BAX100 series will only be available for a limited time, so get yours while stock is available! Until Next Time - Jimmy B

We're almost at the end of the year! Let's see just what's been selling scarily well this Halloween Season? Ready? Here We Go!

9) BSAB-100MF-1A - Perfect for the athletic woman on the go, this watch also doubles as a pedometer, letting you see how far you've walked every day. You can even set a step count goal, and the watch alarm will ring if you're falling behind.

8) BGA-150EF-4B - This offshoot of the BGA-151-7B has gained fame of its own, with the pink band, bezel and analogue display really catching your attention, while still keeping the elegant, classic look of the aforementioned BGA151-7B.

7) BGA-190BC-4B - Another in the pink range, this is a travel watch, which can show you the time where you are, and in another time zone simultaneously. In keeping with the travel theme, the back of the watch has a map pattern.

6) BGA-150PG-2B2 - Another of the BGA150 Range, the BGA-150PG-2B2 is a mixture of blue and rose gold, with extra large analogue numbers making it easy for you to read the time. It's also 100m Water Resistant so you can go swimming with it.

5) BGA-151-7B - The original classic watch, it's white, with gold hour markers, and has been a feature of our top 10 list since the first time we started selling this model. Shock and water resistance means you can take it with you anywhere.

4) BA-110GA-7A1 - A miniature version of the GA-110 series, the BA-110GA is white and, unlike the GAs has a regular display, making it easy to read the time.

3) BA-111-3A - The first unique iteration of the BA-110 series, the BA-111 uses fluorescent colours to make it easier to see the watch. The hour markers and hands are all bright greenish blue, which makes it eye catching on your wrist.

2) BG-6901-1 - This is a fully digital running watch, with extra-large numbers on a bigger screen, to help you see the time, and also to keep an eye on the stopwatch, without needing to slow down. Best of all, there's nothing about it to make it look like a girls watch, so boys can wear it too.

1) BA-110-1A - This black and gold analogue/digital combo watch has seen a rise in popularity. It's the miniature version of the GA-110GB-1A and is perfect for boys and girls to wear.

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!

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!

Until Next Time

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
