[h=1]Casio G-Shock G-MS Watch For Women Elevates Collection[/h] OCT 07, 2019 — BY ROB NUDDS

How do you take a well-established brand, known dually for its heavy use of black plastic and its indomitable outdoor aesthetic and make it feminine without subscribing to a load of mind-blowingly insulting tropes? This is the challenge facing Casio every time it wants to add a new women’s model to the catalog. This is a challenge the brand has, in quite some style, recently overcome with the release of the Casio G-Shock G-MS watch.

Let’s not pretend: there is a niche market for this piece. While many women wear wristwatches these days, a huge amount of the market is cornered by fashion brands such as Olivia Burton, Ted Baker, and the ubiquitous Daniel Wellington. On the rise is the number of young women wearing active watches: FitBits, Garmins, and Apple Watches galore. This kind of hyper-connectivity is even more relevant to women than it is to men in the modern world, and many of the leading global Smart-tech companies are capitalizing on this. However, I see this watch being popular with the more active woman who wants to reject the suffocating hold constantly being connected to our devices has over our lives and the negative impact it has on our emotional well being.

[h=2]At a glance[/h] Starting with a hefty case, stud-like cuttings for the 3, 9, and 12 o'clock hour markers and across the entire face are used to create a distinctive design. The bands of these models have a herringbone pattern finish, which makes the resin material resemble fabric for a classical feel. Function-wise, these models feature tough shock resistance and 100-meter water resistance to support the lifestyle of the active woman of today. The face has a pair of digital displays that show the current date, day of the week, World Time information, and more.

A very sharp, and impressive, G-Shock, for the ladies, from Casio. Four very attractive executions, and G-Shock reliability, make for an intriguing offering.:wink: Thanks Mike.:hat:
 
Women's watch? At 40mm I'd easily wear the black or blue dial, maybe even the white one. Bracelet version is very cool too!
