If you're into fitness, then chances are you've heard of Casio's BGA240 Series of Running Watches. Now, these aren't the pedometer watches normally associated with G-Squad, but they're still perfect for other functions. Ready? Set? Let's Go!

BGA-240BC-1A

First up is the BGA240BC-1A. This watch is completely black from band to bezel, even the background of the display. The buttons on the side are extra-large and grip your fingers so they don't slip. Basically if you want to hit the mode button, you won't accidentally press anything else.

The display itself is also dark, with only the hands being white, and the hour markers grey, in order to make them easier to see. The hour markers are also long and give a 3D effect, like they're coming out of the screen. The digital display is split with the top showing the date, and the bottom showing the time (similar to the BA-110 and GA-110 series).

Then we have the BGA240BC-4A. Now, while the 1A was suitable for boys too, this is most definitely a girls watch. As you can see it's a wonderful shade of pink. Inside the display you can see it's mostly pink, with the display being the classic black on white. The hands and hour markers are a shade of white and pink.

So, that's what they look like, but what do the watches actually do? Let's find out! First up, as they are a running watch, there's obviously a stopwatch, but there's also a lap recorder. You can save up to 60 laps and read through them at your leisure to see if you're improving, getting slower, or staying at about the same rate. This recall mode is quite accurate, and it will tell you the dates and times of the previous laps.

If you're going overseas, there's a really cool feature called Dual Time mode. It uses both parts of the digital display to show you the time where you are at the bottom, and the time in another city at the top. Definitely helpful.
