G-Shock watches from Casio could get more environmentally-friendly in the future thanks to solar technology.The brand unveiled a new version of the Oceanus this month in Japan that has the solar panel right behind the face, which is as rugged as you might expect from a G-Shock.However, this is also an advantage when it comes to battery life, as Casio claims that only 6.2 watts of renewable power is needed to create up to 860,000 movements.Fans and timepiece aficionados were treated to a 'blown apart' view of the new model so they could see every aspect of its makeup and more manufacturers may soon start offering solar panels too in order to keep pace with Casio."Will solar-powered watches become increasingly popular over battery-powered and kinetic-powered watches?" asks UnerGizmo.com.Although this is the first solar-powered G-Shock, Casio fans can already get hold of other models for men incorporating the technology, including the Pro Trek Radio Controlled Tough Solar Watch.This features Wave Ceptor technology so it can also track lap times to the second.
