New limited edition Casio G-Shock watches could spark a reaction among watch manufacturers, as they have been designed to run on renewable energy.According to Lydia Fazzio of Chip Chick, the face of the timepiece "springs to life unexpectedly" when it is exposed to light, as it is powered by a solar panel.The Casio watch also contains a rechargeable battery, which means wearers can make use of its many features including an alarm and a stopwatch.Ms Fazzio said this is the first time that Casio has attempted to develop a sustainable watch.However, she noted that it still offers the same strength and durability that people have come to expect from the G-Shock range."Everything about this watch screams bold and tough," Ms Fazzio commented.She added that it also fits the company's ethos of redefining the concept of a wrist watch.This comes after Casio hailed pop star Pixie Lott for wearing one of its watches in the video for her latest single.

Admirers of Casio watches have been advised to check out the latest G-Shock model released by the renowned timepiece manufacturer, which has been specifically designed for endurance.According to hip-hop publication The Source, the new X-Large Combination fashion watches - which are available in both black and white with silver accents - can survive "the most extreme of situations" and ares water-resistant to depths of 200 metres.Last month, One India News reported that the firm had launched the GA-110 design, which comes in a total of seven colours and features a velocity indicator, magnetic resistance and a stopwatch.G-Shock watches were originally inspired by a childhood accident endured by inventor Kikuo Ibe, who dropped and broke one of his father's watches as a youngster and set out to create more hardwearing timepieces.The series has since racked up more than 50 million sales across the world, the New York Times claimed in November.
