Updated with information from Casio:
Casio has just released additional information on Girls’ Generation’s endorsement of Casio’s “Baby G” line of watches for young women. The members of Girls’ Generation were chosen their embodiment of the tough, cute, and cool concept of “Baby G”, a brand of watches which are meant to be shock-resistant. Girls’ Generation will advertise for the “Baby G” brand in South Korea, China, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, and Australia.
Previous article from 7/9/12:
Electronics maker Casio has appointed Korea’s female idol group, Girls’ Generation, as the image character for the wrist watch, “Baby G”, in the Asia market for a limited time. There are also plans to sell a limited Girls’ Generation model before the year ends. By appointing Asia’s top idol group, the aim is to boost up the value of the brand.
Girls’ Generation will be the image character in eleven Asian countries, including China, Korea, Indonesia, and many others. However, this excludes Japan. The plan is to have a 50% increase in sales for 2013 compared with 2011.
The promotion plans to advertise on the website, store fronts, newspapers, and magazines. The length of contract is planned for one year, starting in mid July.

waaaaaaaaahh, i have been thinking of buying a watch. anybody knows where i can buy/order this? ^^
yeah, i’m excited! XD
Yoona wearing a Chicago Bulls shirt <3
Yes! Finally my country is included, don’t really know if I could buy the watch though. Looks really expensive and I’m just a student, so I think I’m gonna have to do a lot of begging to my parents to get it…
Indonesia? Really? Oh,I am very happy. I want to buy one for support SNSD ^^ But,it’s hard for me because I think Baby G is expensive.Even I can’t but the watch but it’s not mean I am not support SNSD. I will always support SNSD.I am really exited with this =)) SNSD daebak! SNSD hwaiting! ^_^
Ow yeah! Soshi is promoting for a merchandise in my country and in located in one of the busiest shopping malls and I probably going to spazz when i see their posters kekeke
I am really looking forward to see the girls on magazine/TV ads in Australia! – such that I can show all my non-Asian friends. I know baby G is aimed at the young women market, but I am gonna buy one anyway! I wonder if they will come to Australia for fan sign and tie it together with another kpop concert?!
oh weeeh!! Hyo yeon wearing Boston Celtics jersey!!! haawwwt! ♥
does anyone know how to get the watch in UK I really want one
Is that a Knicks Linsanity TShirt on SeoHyun?
No, that shirt is worn by Yuri. They look the same in this picture. Seohyun is in the far left and Yuri is between Taeyeon and Hyoyeon.
Dang my eyes are getting old already.
that’s some poor make up they got there lol. Anyways, I want to buy one, but why no United States?
You already know HyoHyun messes with them Celtics. You already know Sunny messes with Kobe and them Lakers and you already know Fany messes with Blake and them Clipps. You already know I’m gonna have to drop another rack on a pink Baby-G to add to my purp and black G-SHOCKs. Oh and they spelled Girls’ as “Girl’s.” Keep it trill man.
lol!
a good reason for me to start having a Baby-G watch!
yay! singapore is included! feel so lucky kekekeke
gonna get one for collection! 50% sale is easy feat for these awesome 9 angels!
snsd awesomeness will never end <3
Why not united states? :( but I’ll go to china … :D hahaha have to get one for sure! Snsd Jjang … Fany unnie Jjang :D
i love red and sunny wears it!! i’m so happy right now..heheheh :D can’t wait for the limited time pieces by girls’ generation!
Malaysia? MALAYSIA?? For real?? I WILL WALK BY ALL THE TIMEPIECE STORES AND STALK. Omg!! I want the pink one!! Thank you for the info!!
WAIT Australia also?! is that for real?
Yep, it’s true. The girls will advertise the watches in Australia as well. So I am pretty sure that everyone there will get a case of the Soshi fever
@soshi2012
omg if i see them in Australia as an advertisement i might cry
Thats such a great thing for them and the product!!!! can i like get one if i go to China or Korea for a week??
Wait, why not in Japan? Wouldn’t it sell there too? O.o
the only reason I can think of is, Casio is satisfied with the sales in Japan but want to boost it in the countries listed
Yes ! Singapore is included in the country list :D !
I’ll certainly be looking forward to the adverts when they are released here :).
Hmmm…., I wonder whether they will do a “J.Estina” sort of public promotion too (you know, buy the item and get the 9 ladies to autograph it for you ;))?
That will be so cool, no ?!!
Whatever the outcome, it’ll be good to finally see an SNSD-endorsed product being sold here in Singapore :D.
SNSD Jjang !
When I saw this article, I told my mom to buy me one! And I am so happy to see the Philippines there because I know I can buy it anytime in the malls. I hope I can buy one although it’s expensive. Being a fangirl is really expensive. T_T
According to SSF Style, Sooyoung is wearing an LA Lakers shirt underneath a Chicago Bulls jacket, lol. She’s so adorable
SooNa jjang for representing (or semi-representing in Sooyoung’s case) Chicago!
