Baby-G BGA-180 / 5381 / All Models

Stylish, sporty and durable – this is how we consider the women’s BGA-180 series. The appearance of the watch is clearly sharpened for sports and other active activities – this is evidenced by different colors for different elements of the case and the dynamic design of the dial. In favor of the readability of the analogue zone are large hands and hour markers. Special protectors for the strap not only perform a decorative function, but also protect the strap from unnecessary deformation. The main functional is represented by a thermometer for measuring air temperature, an ebb / flow sensor [useful to surfers] and data on the phases of the moon. Every 12 hours, a digital window displays a change in wave height. The watch also has basic features – a stopwatch, timer, alarm clock, calendar and world time.

Official Marketing Focus from Casio

From BABY-G G-LIDE, a collection of new models designed for surfing and just about anything else the active woman of today decides to do. The analog BGA-180 feature a multi-dimensional sculptured design decorated with neon yellow, red, blue, and other colors for a sporty look that always looks great. A “lug protector” made of fine resin on the band not only creates an attractive design element, it also helps to protect the back of the watch from impact. A textured band surface also adds a distinctively sport touch.
Feature-wise, the BGA-180 is the first analog model in BABY-G line up to include a TIDE GRAPH feature. In the Timekeeping Mode, the small hand of the dial at 9 o’clock normally indicates current tide information. Each press of the button at 4 o’clock in the Timekeeping Mode advances the tide information indicate by the dial hand by one hour.
A great design, powerful features to support surfing activities and much more makes these models the perfect choice for today’s active woman.
