Casio is a Japanese company that has made trendy and fashionable watches for years.

This season, it's all about the White Watch as a must-have fashion accessory timepiece, and they deliver the perfect one in the Baby-G, a sharp wristwatch that's jammed packed with useful features.

The Baby-G rolled out for this spring, as Casio went back to basics with models from their entire Baby-G collections. These retro-tinged watches deliver a simple, white-hued statement for the warm weather months.

 

The easy-to-program timepiece has fashionable functionality, and we love the bells and whistles it's packed with. Tried out the BLX100-7, from the new BLX100 Collection which sports a glossy white resin band with silver and grey dial.  The piece has a silver LCD screen with crystal cut “gem-like” protectors.  The watch face is a trendy, oversized (42mm) look that's shock resistant, with a tide graph! I really love and use this feature.

More features abound; The EL back-light with afterglow makes reading the watch easy, and a world time from 29 time zones and 48 cities works for the traveling people; a 1/100th second stopwatch plus a countdown timer and mute function is accompanied by multi-functional alarms, with one snooze alarm.

Other than looking like a million bucks, the best part? It's Under $90.
