I'm wearing my white Baby-G right now. I also have a 16.5 cm wrist and after trying both models in a boutique, the smaller Baby-G was an evident choice for me. I immediately liked the reduced bulkiness and shorter lug to lug size, but most importantly the shorter strap that doesn't overhang. The long strap flapping around is what bothered me most on the standard G-shock and that was a deal breaker. I couldn't be happier with my "ladies" watch. 😉
I wear both Baby-G's and G-Shocks. I don't think that men should worry about what others think, especially if the watch matches your outfit and expectations.
Good on ya, RokkitGirl! 🙌 I agree with the mindset completely. 💯 It’s about what you think of your own watch, as you’re the one wearing it. By the way, I love matching my watch to my ‘fit too 😎👌
Man i have to share this with you!! A very interesting incident happened in my life. I had to recieve a call that came while watching ur video so i paused and went to answer, in the meantime my father came infront of my pc and saw the paused video where u ashowed the ae1200 and the gshock at 2:19 and asked me what u think about the one in the left(he has a very little knowledge about watches) i told him about the watch later that evening i saw him returning home buying one for me, even he managed to get the one with the green world map like yours which was my absolute favourite. I was already saving up for buying this time piece. Bt by the grace of the Almighty I got my hands one one of the watches quite earlier than I expected. This was an unexpected and wholesome story of my life.

What an amazing gift to receive! 🤩 I hope you enjoy your Green-Mapped Royale, and that you have shown your sincere appreciation to Dad for being such a GOAT! 🐐👑
I bought a Baby-G BGD560-7, and I love that it's basically a smaller DW5600 in white. I couldn't care less if anyone spotted that it was a Baby-G, really.
I've worn a Casio daily since i was in high school. recently I've started expanding my collection of watches. JUST discovered the baby g last night. really excited to get a transparent one, i think it'll fit my narrow wrist pretty well and introduce some color to my watch collection
That's awesome! 😄👏 The Baby-G transparent models are a fantastic choice, especially for adding some color and style to your collection. They're pretty comfortable for narrower wrists too. Keep us posted on which one you get, I'm sure it'll look great! 😉
Hey, you guys kid around, but I’m actually seriously considering starting a business manufacturing mod kits for Baby Gs. I’m a guy and I love them. I’m nearly 50, got nothing to prove to anyone anymore so I wear whatever the fuck I want. 😁
Baby G is a stupid brand name, even for women. G-Shock GMD-S5600 is the correct answer and the example of how Casio should make and marketing smaller versions
Yeah I agree, as the word "Baby" may be off-putting even to the Woman who Casio are trying to target. WOW! 🤩 Thank you for sharing the GMD-S5600 - THIS is the way to do it, Casio! 👏 G-Shock text and all. 👌
@@jesusgarcia9351 huh? There's men, woman then baby-G. Baby G is smaller, colourful and I think the target audience is younger girls or early 20s. I don't see how the name is stupid for woman. There's a Woman line. Baby g is it's own line it's been around for so long. 🤔 I would say don't buy it if you're a guy or woman if the word baby g annoys you. Lol you can get the similar same look watch from men or woman line. If I was a guy I wouldn't wear it.
A watch is absolutely perfect.....I feel much better as a man with a Baby-G at my wrist than with the GPR-B1000 Rangeman. I'm still jealous to my daughters cause they are wearing it every day, and they love it....(daddy loves it too) In my personal opinion that thing (black variant off course) would be a most perfect military watch ever made, it didn't exist when I was in service unfortunatelly....it's slipping under the cuff, it's never on the way and it's doing the job......to be honest, it's much better than my Marathon GPQ 34mm which is couple of times more expensive without any normal reason. I'm looking to buy a Baby for myself too Like
Good stuff, Termit. I've seen some Rangemens in person at the shops and they do look a little large! Very cool though 👌 I love the idea of sharing watches amongst the family - It's so wholesome 😊 As a matter of fact, (just like you described) there IS a smaller G-Shock version without the Baby-G text available! I just found out about it from some comments, and have added a link to it in the description if you'd like to check it out.
@@goatreviews No brother thank you, I'm really too old to listen or care about anyone's opinion (except for my dog's opinion) and also I got so many watches, a lot more than enough to create my own opinion based on my own experience.....I'm wearing watches that makes me happy not giving a heck about the other people's opinion. Baby-G text or not, really I don't mind it. I prefer a function over form, so a little cosmetical things doesn't annoying me. When you see a 120 kg guy in a bad mood with a little ''Baby'' thingy at the wrist, you are suddenly not interested anymore to tell him that's a ''woman's, female'' thing 😀😀😀
I can already answer the question. Yes, they can ...but g-shock should consider renaming it and always include some gender neutral colorways. Not every man is confident enough to sport a small, pink watch with glitter named "Baby G" ha ha
This is a great point, Yogi! 👌 And you're right, the simple answer is yes - and there's a reason behind it. A rename might be "Mini-G", which some may find more appealing than "Baby-G". Haha, I'm sure there would be someone who could pull that off 🤣
Short answer: you can wear it. Long answer: you can wear it because nobody cares about what watch you're wearing. For a normal person it's hard to tell if a watch is a smartwatch or a regular watch. I've shown proudly my GW-M5610 to a girl and she said "It's old!" ...WHAT?? So yeah, no problem with that. I've recently bought a GMD-S5600-1, and you know what? They've taken off the BABY-G inscription, it's simply G-Shock! (and the shiny mirror gold front face + the yellowish module are killer). PLUS, the strap has the same length of a regular G. PLUS, it weights only 41 grams. Give it a try if you can... Oh, and the proportions bezel/display are the same of regular G's, so you probably will not notice any major difference.
This is the key, Bruno! 👌 You're the one who cares the most about your own watch, and pays attention to it. Hahaha, she had no idea what a magnificent and modern timepiece she was looking at 😛 YES! 🙌 Another commenter just advised about the GMD-S5600 as well! What a perfect execution 👌
@@goatreviews but there is a downside! The shape of the strap, where it inserts in the case... It's pointing down more than a regular G, so it doesn't hug the wrist very well. This time probably I'll use adaptors and a NATO or a velcro strap. 👌🏼
i do own a bg-170-1 i have owned since i was about 8 it does have alit a patina from alot a wear/swiming and it does sure look a little retro early 2000s/kids toy like now many years later but its still a cool old casio with light blue electroluminescence
@@otto169on Super cool watch to have, Otto! 👌 Back when the model numbers started with ‘BG’ for Baby-G 😁 Love the electroluminescence! 🤩 Look after it well, my friend, and thanks for sharing! 🙏
i want the powerpuff girls baby g in white very similar to this but i cant justify the size even tho that one comes with the keychain clip holder. i like them on the loose side specifically not to pinch my arm fur. lolol if i get it for my wife, she would be wearing it 100% 😂😂
@@ossumopossum Dude, I know the one you’re talking about! 🤩 I sent a picture of one to my wife, seeing if she was keen to get one too 😁👌 Fair point on the looseness. LOL - The ‘Arm Fur’ is catching on!! 🤣
The problem you had with the Baby-G strap not being long enough, is the same problem I have with a G-Shock. I broke my wrist years ago causing scar tissue. The strap is on the last three holes.
@@goatreviews The third hole from the end of the strap is the last one the keeper still works OK. Holes two and one, not so much. I broke my right wrist years and years ago. So now it is scar tissue and arthritis. I'm left handed, so wear watches on this wrist. I prefer to wear the watch up against the heal of he hand, not elbow side of wrist joint, where most of the swelling is. Just as an aside, I'm looking at setting up a PTP server for my G-Shock 5000 series watches. It makes use of my interest in electronics.
I think the problem is that they tend to age worse than the normal G-shock. Whether due to the materials or the colors used, after a few years they look worn out. I have two from 2002 and they haven't aged very well.
Interesting!! Thanks for pointing this out, Vasco 🙏 While this Baby-G is too young for me to have noticed anything thus far, I have DEFINITELY seen pictures of some terribly-aged ones! What colour were the ones you have noticed it with? I suspect it's to do with the transparent 'jelly' style straps and bezels yellowing over time, or the overall pastel colourways showing age more than darker G's. What are your thoughts? 🤔
That's exactly what you are saying, whites tend to turn yellowish and transparent straps look ugly over time. Finding replacement straps also seems more difficult than other G-shock straps.
I think men can wear these. However, i feel like Casio should offer most of these watches without the Baby G branding for us as well. I actually like the Baby G name for women and kids, etc. I do feel like they would sell better through all populations without that name, though. I've seen quite a few BGs that i like and would wear. I haven't done so yet, but I would definitely look into a few in the future if they dropped the branding. However, it is my long-term postion that no one ever really notices what watch you are wearing, unless it is obviously gold or very flashy, not that these are necessarily desirable to people, either. In particular, the words are very difficult to see in real life. I try to see what people are wearing when i see them in a watch and outside of recognizable shapes (5600, OP, PRX) its very tough to tell. That, and you won't usually know if it is a homage even if you spot a shape, you know.
You've perfectly summarized the exact sentiment of most people, Jim! 👌 I couldn't agree more with all the points you made. 💯 I have recently found out about the GMD-S5600 series, which is basically what yourself and a lot of people have been asking for! It's a Baby-G size, without the text. I've added a link in the description if you'd like to check it out!
I have a vast collection of G shocks and Baby G's couldn't care less what anyone thinks. I like the baby G's because they are smaller and I've not got the biggest wrists
I have an 8 inches wrist and the regular G-Shock 5600 is a bit small for me, infact i have 4 holes only left on my strap. So, at this point is the classic G-Shock a female watch too? 🤣🤣🤣 Jokes apart, to me size does not mean if it's for male or female.
@@chronospeedster Haha, this is a great point, man! 😂👌 Thanks for sharing this. 🙏 I have heard of some model Casio’s that have extended straps, actually. Perhaps it was the AE-1500? 🤔 I agree, my dude. It’s not about the size. Though some may argue, it IS about the text on the bezel! 😁👌
Men can wear baby-g, the digi ana field watch looks good as does the bash bar digital. I’m not a Casio shill but they’re fine for everyone (if they fit).
Interesting exercise/experiment! My daughter has a pink Baby-G, tried it on, but the strap is not long enough with only one hole left! Anyway I can't get away with the pink, too feminine for me as I usually wear my G-Shock Rangeman GW-9400-1, as it's a bit more manly for me!
Cheers! 🙏 Yeah depending on the colours, it may be a bit much 😁 Dang, one hole left isn’t a good fit anyway, as the keeper would definitely slip off. Thanks for sharing, and good stuff on the Rangeman! 💪
im mainly just watching this to see what its like on a mens wrist. if the strap is short or not. i got pretty skinny wrists so im confident it would fit on me
While slimmer than normal "Squares", It looks like the GLX-5600 is under the G-Shock family. So it has the different text on the bezel. It also seems to have a Moon Graph feature! 👀 Seems to be a good alternative 😄👌
@@goatreviews loved the fact you got caught by the wife, your videos are well 'watched' and great humor too! Yes we should not overlook the baby g's because they also come in some interesting prints and color ways, and are pretty eye candy catching goodness for sure!
@@eclectic_gamer I agree, man. 🙏 I predict that it would be a lot more popular without trying to specialise into a specific gender with the word baby. 👌
You do you, but there’s a reason there are women’s pants and men’s pants. Same with wristwatches. Admittedly, there’s less of a difference in wrists than there is in pants, however the strap is shorter on a BabyG and the shape of how goes around your wrist is different. On my 7 and a quarter and as per your video I d be on the last hole which is no good. The controversy here only exists as there are those who don’t want to recognize biological differences. Kudos to Casio for realizing that ad designing for that.
Fair points! 👌 Yeah 7 1/4” would be cutting it close - I wouldn’t recommend anything larger than 6 1/2” like me - as once you’re into the last couple of holes the keeper wouldn’t really work well. Thanks for weighing in, Marcelo! 🙏
If it's because of inscription, I wouldn't care about it, but I would never wear a bright colored watch. And it'd be too small for my 20cm/7.8 inch wrist, anyway. On the other hand (no pun intended), I've yet to meet a person who knows anything about watches... at least for a reason to argue with someone how my GW-B5600 is the best watch ever produced... and to gladly prove that and win the argument.
This is a logical take. 👌 The inscription isn't what's noticeable, but the colours are indeed what can be seen from a distance. Personally I wouldn't mind trying a super colourful watch to see what it's like (Like the FreeStyle Shark watch in a recent community poll) Damyr, what an amazing choice! 🤩 The B5600 has got to be my all-time favourite so far too... A square with Tough Solar, Bluetooth for atomic time, perfection! 👌
@@goatreviews Yeah, it's just a perfect watch for everything... for EDC in every situation and for any kind of apocalypse, as well. :) And I can't think of any reason how even a full steel $4k MRG could be better. Those are just too heavy.
@@damyrhahaha, this is exactly why I converted mine into a 4K MR-G with a mod kit - you’ve probably seen the the featured video on my profile to verify this 😁 Functionally, the value can’t be beat! 👌
No, men can't wear a baby g, if a small men worry about the size of a gshock, there is a lot small g shocks to choose, im easily spot a baby g on a man wrist, and maybe i bully him😁. Nice review my friend
Hahaha, you're right, David! 😁👌 Someone just advised me of an alternative that Casio implemented a lot better, without the "Baby-G" text, the GMD-S5600. Thanks so much for your input my friend! 🙏

Baby G is a Kenny G song actually 🎷
Awesome! Listening to this bona fide JAM as we speak 🎷😎
Thanks for sharing! 🙌
Men can wear baby-g, the digi ana field watch looks good as does the bash bar digital. I’m not a Casio shill but they’re fine for everyone (if they fit).
Oh yeah, I know the models you're talking about! 👌 I agree - If they fit, and you like 'em, wear 'em!
That is how normal gshocks look on my 7.75 inch wrist 🤣
WOAH! Haha, you got some big wrists Mike! 💪😁
Interesting exercise/experiment! My daughter has a pink Baby-G, tried it on, but the strap is not long enough with only one hole left! Anyway I can't get away with the pink, too feminine for me as I usually wear my G-Shock Rangeman GW-9400-1, as it's a bit more manly for me!
Cheers! 🙏 Yeah depending on the colours, it may be a bit much 😁 Dang, one hole left isn’t a good fit anyway, as the keeper would definitely slip off.
Thanks for sharing, and good stuff on the Rangeman! 💪
I can’t do it lol. I know nobody will care and almost nobody will notice but I can’t wear something that I know says baby-G.
Fair call, D Disguise! 👌 I understand it's not for everyone - and there's still that feeling about it.
i dont see anything wrong with it considering casio makes other watches that are smaller anyway like the a168 and thats a classic.
im mainly just watching this to see what its like on a mens wrist. if the strap is short or not. i got pretty skinny wrists so im confident it would fit on me
@@slothbro2740 Nice one. 👌 On my 16.5cm wrist, it fits but there’s not a lot of extra strap. If you’re smaller than that, you should be all good! 👍
Мужчины лишены детских комплексов и могут носить всё, что захотят.
I agree completely, Семен! 👌💯 It's up to the individual to decide what they wear. Thanks for weighing in! 🙏
Yes, next question.
Yes indeed 😎👌
What’s the difference between this watch and the G-Shock G-lide GLX-S5600?
While slimmer than normal "Squares", It looks like the GLX-5600 is under the G-Shock family. So it has the different text on the bezel. It also seems to have a Moon Graph feature! 👀 Seems to be a good alternative 😄👌
With my 8-1/8 in. wrist the answer is an unequivocal no.
Fair call, Dave! 👌
Definitely not for all wrist sizes. Thanks for weighing in! 🙏
A baby g is still a g-shock right ?
Basically, it is. Produced by the same company. Just a different label, right? 😁
@@goatreviews loved the fact you got caught by the wife, your videos are well 'watched' and great humor too! Yes we should not overlook the baby g's because they also come in some interesting prints and color ways, and are pretty eye candy catching goodness for sure!
Would also love to see outside videos with your Casios! ❤
@@BishanMash Haha, cheers for the feedback my man! 🙏 Indeed, there are some great looking models out there! I appreciate you weighing in.
Non watch guys don’t care. Watch guys who care shouldn’t call themselves watch guys.
Brilliant, I love this. 👌 A wise person once said: "Those who mind, don't matter. And those who matter, don't mind!" 💯
You’ll know that they noticed when the boys start giving you the nickname baby g 😅😂
LOL 😂 Bring it on! 😜 Nah lets hope not 👀
I got Casio Baby-G BLX-102-1E and they looks even better them my gw 9400 !
Good stuff, Cane! 🙏 Wear what makes YOU happy 😁
terrible idea having 'Baby G' on any watch, just make 2 sizes and let people decide which size suits them. Male or female
@@eclectic_gamer I agree, man. 🙏 I predict that it would be a lot more popular without trying to specialise into a specific gender with the word baby. 👌
@@goatreviews 🎯 👍
Idk id never wear a Baby-G since theres already alot of G-Shock variants that are smaller
Fair call, Unlucky 🙏 I recently found out about the GMD-S5600 which is exactly that! 👌
It's practically a small men's watch with a horrible name.
Pretty much! 😅 I don't see "Baby-G" being appealing to any demographic. 👌
It's ok to use baby g what's wrong with that nothing
I agree, Pramod. Nothing! 😁👌
sorry I couldn't wear a baby g
Fair call, Lappin! 👌 Thanks for weighing in 🙏
You do you, but there’s a reason there are women’s pants and men’s pants. Same with wristwatches. Admittedly, there’s less of a difference in wrists than there is in pants, however the strap is shorter on a BabyG and the shape of how goes around your wrist is different. On my 7 and a quarter and as per your video I d be on the last hole which is no good. The controversy here only exists as there are those who don’t want to recognize biological differences. Kudos to Casio for realizing that ad designing for that.
Fair points! 👌
Yeah 7 1/4” would be cutting it close - I wouldn’t recommend anything larger than 6 1/2” like me - as once you’re into the last couple of holes the keeper wouldn’t really work well.
Thanks for weighing in, Marcelo! 🙏
If it's because of inscription, I wouldn't care about it, but I would never wear a bright colored watch. And it'd be too small for my 20cm/7.8 inch wrist, anyway.
On the other hand (no pun intended), I've yet to meet a person who knows anything about watches... at least for a reason to argue with someone how my GW-B5600 is the best watch ever produced... and to gladly prove that and win the argument.
This is a logical take. 👌 The inscription isn't what's noticeable, but the colours are indeed what can be seen from a distance.
Personally I wouldn't mind trying a super colourful watch to see what it's like (Like the FreeStyle Shark watch in a recent community poll)
Damyr, what an amazing choice! 🤩 The B5600 has got to be my all-time favourite so far too... A square with Tough Solar, Bluetooth for atomic time, perfection! 👌
@@goatreviews Yeah, it's just a perfect watch for everything... for EDC in every situation and for any kind of apocalypse, as well. :)
And I can't think of any reason how even a full steel $4k MRG could be better. Those are just too heavy.
@@damyrhahaha, this is exactly why I converted mine into a 4K MR-G with a mod kit - you’ve probably seen the the featured video on my profile to verify this 😁
Functionally, the value can’t be beat! 👌
Buy a black one and fill the letters with some black glue. Fixed
This... This is a 200IQ solution, Valnjes! 🧠 Thanks for sharing! 🙏
No, men can't wear a baby g, if a small men worry about the size of a gshock, there is a lot small g shocks to choose, im easily spot a baby g on a man wrist, and maybe i bully him😁. Nice review my friend
Hahaha, you're right, David! 😁👌 Someone just advised me of an alternative that Casio implemented a lot better, without the "Baby-G" text, the GMD-S5600.
Thanks so much for your input my friend! 🙏
Just no! :)
Haha, quick and simple. 😁 Fair call. Thanks for weighing in! 🙏
i wear g-shock and baby-g interchangeably (there are babygs bigger than some gshocks🫡)
Good on ya, Michael! 🔥🙌 Wow, this is a good point haha. Which Baby-G's are your fav?
