Casio Baby-G White BG-1206-5

I thought I should never start collecting the Casio G-Shock and Baby-G, but it seems that I failed...

Today's watch is a Baby-G by Casio. The Baby-G range are a set of smaller G-Shock watches which are aimed at women (but are often good for both men and women).

This watch is a model BG-1206-5, which was released November 2006 and is part of a series referred to as "New colour variations". It features a round face with a mirrored LCD display. Time is shown on a 6 digit standard display, with a small dot matrix display at the top for the date (but also shows one of a range of animated animals either randomly or when the el-backlight is activated). The strap is matched with the head, and has a part number of 679 EJ2 >PUR<

The watch uses a 2950 module, and has time, date, alarms, stopwatch, timer, world time (including average monthly temperature highs and lows for 30 cities), and code memo (up to 40 records of up to 7 digits).

It has the same shock resistance as the G-Shocks, is 10 bar water resistant, and should last 3 years on its CR1620 battery.
