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.

Tokyo Flash watches, one of the long-standing bastions of weird and wonderful wristwear, may be challenged by a new competing range from an all-too-familiar source.Slashgear detailed the new editions of Casio watches released in conjunction with Riki Watanabe and none other than Tokyo Flash themselves, which aim to please again with a less-standard approach to timekeeping.The website explained: "The Casio range includes a re-release of their 80s Databank watches, only now in some eye-watering colours - together with the endearingly-chunky Casio Cubic Puzzle 3171."Using bright blues, reds, pinks, oranges and greens, the range has a certain retro look about it, though will undoubtedly be a lot easier to read than some of the wild offerings from Tokyo Flash.Earlier this month, the Tibida LED offering from Tokyo Flash gained praise from Walyou, which explained that its stylings were, much like other offerings by the company, "promisingly futuristic and cool".
