Casio's solar-powered GWM5600 G-Shock watch

Is that a sun dial on your wrist?

It might have those old school looks, but the GWM5600 G-Shock is every bit the modern timepiece.

As you might expect from a G-Shock, it offers up shock and water resistance, as well as a digital time and timers, viewable in all conditions thanks to the auto backlight. And don't worry about setting the time - Atomic Timekeeping Technology makes this watch super-accurate, even adjusting settings for a leap year or if the clocks go backward/forward.

But that's only half the story - the big selling point here is solar power. Yes, you can forget the batteries, this particular G-Shock works off a tiny panel, in turn feeding a large-capacity rechargeable battery, saving you money and saving the planet too, in its own small way. Expect it in the shops in the coming weeks with a choice of plastic or metal strap, priced well under the £100 mark.
