Another from the Casio G-Shock /Baby-G rugged watches today, and another 90s model too!
This is a Baby-G watch from the G'Mix line, and as released in summer 1999. This particular model is a special edition collaboration with the Japanese singer and actress Chara. Chara debuted in 1991 with a single called Heaven, and she is most known for her whisper voice singing style. In spring 1999, she released her 6th studio album called Strange Fruits.
Overall, the watch looks like a standard Baby-G, apart from the wild colour scheme, and Chara's signature on the back. The fabric strap is one of the dual fastening models with a velcro inner strap, and elasticated plastic clip strap too. The main difference is the modes that the 2063 module has. The watch contains several tunes by Chara (Duca, Yasashii Kimochi, Shima shima no bambi) which can be played back as the alarm, in beepy computer tone, accompanied by a little animated band in the top window of the LCD (where the day and date is normally on a dot matrix array). Other modes are mix, alarm (x5), and stopwatch. The mix mode seems to be a choice of 3 different tunes started by pressing the front light button, and accompanied by a different animation.
The lower part of the display is a standard 6 digit LCD, and there are two small windows at the top sides which fill and empty with small LCD markers.
This particular colour has the full model number of BGM-200CR-4BT, and was one of three colours originally sold for 15,000.
