Products and positioning

- Digital and analogue dials
- Solar-powered options
- World time, stopwatch, timer and alarm functions
- Bluetooth connectivity on newer models
The line is organised into style families such as Urban, Athleisure and Beach. Casio also promotes collaborations with characters including Hello Kitty, Tweety and the Powerpuff Girls.
Why it matters
Baby-G shows how a technical watch category was adapted for a fashion-led audience, using a sub-brand of an established manufacturer rather than a separate company.
