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.
