Casio launches two new radio-controlled watches with solar charging

Casio has launched two new G-Shock Baby-G BGA-2800 Series watches in Japan. These shock resistant watches have round dials featuring analog hands and a trio of digital displays. Both versions use a blue color palette. 

The Casio G-Shock BGA-2800-2A2 has a white dial with rose-gold accents, a navy blue resin casing and strap, and a matching translucent inner bezel. The BGA-2800-7A3 has a white dial, casing and strap, with dark blue accents and a light blue translucent inner bezel.

Casio’s G-Shock BGA-2800 is a radio-controlled (Multi-Band 6) watch, supporting world time with a fully automatic calendar. The digital displays show date and day of the week information, as well as data linked to on-watch tools like a stopwatch, a timer and alarms. Other features include a double LED backlight, Tough Solar charging and 100 m water resistance.

In Japan, you can pre-order the Casio G-Shock Baby-G BGA-2800-2A2 and BGA-2800-7A3 watches for ¥23,100 (~$145) each. Whether or when these products could be released in other countries remains to be seen. Casio already sells a selection of Baby-G watches through its Amazon storefront in the US.
