20yrs with Baby G

I don't remember when the craze started but by the time I was primary 6, Baby G was the most "In" watch of the year. It was very expensive too, costing around 120bucks? Our standard casio watch back then is only 20-30bucks.

I was pestering mummy for the longest time to buy me one back then and she wouldn't budge no matter how much I begged her.

Then PSLE results came out and she decided to buy 1 for me since I had attained what she expected. Its was the most expensive watch I ever had at 120bucks. It's purple with a velco strap and quite big in size. I remember wearing it to sleep for the 1st week mummy brought for me.

Used it faithfully for 4 years through my secondary years and mummy periodically washed the strap for me. Forgot what watch I had during poly days but certainly not this as I remember keeping it in my drawer. Mummy later threw it away as it was not working and was looking old (so sad).

Casio then came out with a 10years limited edition Baby G in 2004 which has a square design instead of the normal circular watch face. They had a range of colours and I was in love with every colour. Hubs was in the army that year and was drawing a higher pay than usual army guys cause of his vocation. He offered to buy 1 for me and I chose the blue version after many days of consideration.

The limited 10th year edition

I wore it again for a few years till the strap gave way and couldn't find a suitable replacement. Only managed to buy a plain white 1 which does not look as nice as the original. Switched to wearing watches with metal strap after stepping into workforce which is more suitable for OL look and kept the Baby G in my drawer again.

Saw a new design the other day while walking past a Casio shop and fell in love with it. At 1st I thought it was the 20th year anniversary edition and found out it wasn't during payment. Nevertheless, will treat it as 1 as this year, Baby G is celebrating its 20th year anniversary. Hehe

I wanted the pink 1 but hubs convinced me that the white 1 with a pink face looks nicer and there, brought a watch for myself for my 30th birthday.

Happy 20th year anniversary Baby G, though I switched to wearing other brands in between but will always have a attachment toward you since it's the 1st watch mummy brought to reward me. Anticipating your 30th anniversary designs :)

My new watch:)
