Casio, G-Shock and Baby-G in Pop Videos
More actions
The Casios in Rude Boy form a chain of cases and straps around Rihanna’s arm. A pink square sits alongside rounded black and white pieces; the straps remain visible between them. The watches become a piece of assembled jewelry without losing their recognizable digital-watch shapes.
Rihanna multiplies the wristwatch
Watch-ID’s account of “Rude Boy” names both Baby-G and G-Shock Mini models. The families contribute different outlines to the bracelet: relatively flat squares alternate with more sculpted cases. The color processing in the video can shift their appearance, so the whole arrangement is clearer than every individual reference.
The mirrored composition doubles that arrangement on screen. Rihanna’s raised hand keeps it near her face, alongside sunglasses, hoop earrings and rings. The cluster stretches along her arm, occupying far more space than a single watch.
Hannah Diamond isolates a Baby-G
Hannah Diamond’s Hi. goes in the opposite direction. A white Baby-G fills a wrist insert against a pink background. Yellow protective wires cross its edges, with colored trim framing the rectangular display. The case and the hanging hand have room around them; there is little else competing with the watch.
G-Central documents Diamond’s collaboration with Baby-G for the video. The exact model remains unidentified despite the clear view of the protective wires and colored trim.
Gwen Stefani’s square among the bangles
In the solo version of Slow Clap, Gwen Stefani wears a Casio G-Shock GM-S5600PG-4. G-Central identifies the reference and specifies the version without Saweetie.
The square digital display sits between ornate gold-colored bracelets. Its broad, comparatively plain surround creates a break among their patterns, while the metal-covered case keeps it visually connected to the jewelry. The pale strap can be seen curling away from the top of the case.
