The G-SHOCK G5600BG-1 watch is a limited-edition version of the brand's namesake timepiece model that's crafted with an eco-friendly form in mind, and will be available just in time for Earth Month celebrations on April 22, 2024.
The watch features a bezel and band crafted out of recycled resin sourced from the Casio production facility made from residual scraps. The resulting material is a mix of red, matte black and yellow in a confetti-style pattern that gives the accessory a multicolored look with a pattern that's completely varied.
The G-SHOCK G5600BG-1 watch features the brand's Tough Solar technology that allows it to be charged by sunlight and artificial light sources to eliminate the need for replaceable batteries. Priced at $150, the watch is available both in-store and online.
