    Casio Japan yesterday unveiled a G-Shock and a Baby-G [JP] that are “exclusively geared towards couples” and designed “with the special atmosphere of Christmas Eve in mind”. The two watches will be available in Japan as the so-called Lover’s Collection from November 29 (set price: $280).

    The G-Shock model (AW-590LC-7B) is sized at 52.0×46.4×14.9mm and weighs 58 grams, while the Baby-G (BGA-100LV-7B) measures 43.6×38.9×13.1mm at 42 grams.

    Casio is planning to produce 6,500 sets monthly, which leads me to believe availability outside Japan at some point is not impossible.
