A new range of men's watches from Casio have been put forward as ideal presents for style-conscious guys.Writing for myGloss.com, Aly Walansky said she recently attended the launch of the Edifice Black Label line at the Tourneau TimeMachine store in New York.It was attended by Casio brand ambassador Bryan Greenberg - and Ms Walansky said it was an interesting evening in which she got to look at the products and chat to Greenberg, whom she described as "a real watch-lover".The actor told her he got his love of fashion watches when he bought a vintage Casio style in Japan and thinks they are "one of the best ways a man can accessorise".Ms Walansky said the Black Label watches would make a "fabulous" Christmas gift for any "special guy".People who like the look of the Black Label watches could also try other styles from the same brand, including the popular Casio Men's Edifice Digital and Analogue Blue Dial Sports Watch.

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.
