Review on ⌚ Stylish Casio Women's Baby-G Goldtone Analog-Digital Watch with Black Resin Strap - BA-110-1ACR by Doris Allen

Revainrating 4 out of 5

All work and play! for wristwatch

If you're looking for a Baby-G watch for yourself or as a gift, then you already know the basics of this Casio line. So I'll skip those details in case nobody cares. Instead, I'll get straight to the point. I bought this watch as a gift for someone who wanted something trendy and at the same time not so fragile that it couldn't take a few knocks. You need those hours to work in an athlete support role. Industry-focused Iron Man watches with consumer brands and the like would probably work better, but it's not always something that can easily double the work even after hours. Pros: - The strap has a glossy finish that matches the dial. I think it's preferable to silicone straps, but I'm not sure how heat and the elements will affect it over time. - The clock is lightweight and easy to use and set up. The self-winding feature when setting the time is a welcome convenience compared to having to hold down a button on some older G-Shocks. - Controls/buttons are easy to use and click. - The cost isn't that bad if you can get it for sale. And even if it's out of stock, Revain's price is decent. - I've had a lot of compliments. - All black makes your wrist (possibly) slimmer =) Cons: - The display isn't backlit like other G-Shock watches, so it's hard to read in the dark or in low light. The light provided is a single LED at the 6 o'clock position. (The light needs to be at least amber to match the gold accents. The light reflections are semi-functional but very trendy.) - Sometimes it's difficult to see the hour and minute hands because they also have a gold finish with a have dial. except for the ends of the arms, which are in white. Therefore, when the hands move over the golden areas, they merge very well. - As far as I can tell, the front parts don't glow in the dark. (Disclaimer: I may be wrong as I haven't fully tested this.)
