Casio brings G-Shock Mini to USA.
Casio has announced it is bringing the popular G-Shock Mini line to the USA. These are popular G-Shock styles designed to find a home with women buyers. They are available in a wide selection of "feminine" colors and sizes that span three models which are probably very familiar if you know the current G-Shock line. Shigenori Itoh, the vice president of Casio watches, was quoted in the press release saying, "We are thrilled to offer fashionable water and shock resistant watches for chic activ..
Read MoreThe Guess Mechanical Digital
If you're like me, you probably never thought of using the flip-dot technology that you see on roadside signs for a wristwatch. A company called Sequel AG did, though, and has miniaturized it and licensed the technology to Guess for a line of women's watches appearing this fall to be called G-Motion.

We have an unusual review today: the Casio Pathfinder PAW500-1V. It's a Pathfinder for women, but surprisingly it's a great watch for a man, too.

Low temperature rated to -10 to 60C, or..

The size of the watch case required to accommodate the type of technology found in modern hiking watches, combined with the fact that marketing departments tend to link technology more with men, have kept these types of adventure watches off the wrists of women. The problem is that plenty of women ar..
Read MoreReview of the Yes Tati
I'm a big fan of Yes watches. I reviewed the Yes Zulu two years ago, and I have the black Kundalini which never fails to draw attention.
