The summer is almost upon us, and that means hitting the beach. Casio’s Baby-G BLX-100 watch line is targeted at women that enjoy surfing and not spending a ton of money on watches.
So would it be good for my mom for Mother’s Day? Well, maybe—if your mom surfs and can figure out all of the tide settings on this thing.
This holiday, Casio is planning to roll out an oversized G-Shock watch designed for “sports players like basketball players.â€
Indeed, skinny arms need not apply for this beast. A price and exact release date have not been announced.

The latest in the line of Casio G-Shock watches is not only seizure inducing, but is also dubbed Man Box—which seems disturbing. However, the name appears to be related to a little plastic man toy that is included with the watch. Naturally, it is also dressed up in colors that can only be described as “Crayola Vomit.”
The line was made with pilots in mind (although I don’t seem to recall seeing Bozo and 15 of his friends roll out of a Cessna when arriving at the circus) which means it’s shock resistant, waterproof, and able to withstand up to 15G .

Ordinarily, Casio G-Shock watches can take a serious punishment. However, this particular version is inflatable and can be taken down with a single push pin. It’s also a giant, outdoor display item, so I wouldn’t expect anyone outside of the Jolly Green Giant or Tony Robbins to be able to wear it around their wrist.
