NEWS – If you prefer an old-school watch over a smartwatch, you need to check out these newly released watches from Casio. I had a beautiful Baby-G watch years ago with a translucent blue case and band, and the face featured an animated swimming dolphin. These Casio Baby-G Origin Series women’s watches don’t have the dolphin, but they do have the translucent colored band and case.
The BG169R-4E model is pink with red accents; the BG169R-2C is blue with coral accents. Both models have the following features:
- Shock resistant
