Casio G-Shock GW-2000BD-1AER
Solar Power & Atomic Time from Casio G-Shock
Although wrist watches are entirely useful and practical, traditionally they have suffered from low battery life and poor time-keeping (which is obviously a bit of a problem for a device that aims to tell the time). Furthermore, as conventional cell batteries, which contain heavy metal components that become toxic when they start to degrade, are less popular among environmentally conscious consumers, standard wrist watch manufacturers have sought to make fundamental changes.
Indeed, Casio has produced the G-Shock GW-2000BD-1AER which is thought to be the world’s first worldwide atomic solar watch, which not only benefits from solar energy but is able to maintain the time accurately for the lifespan of the watch.
The Casio G-Shock GW-2000BD-1AER has traditional photovoltaic technology incorporated into the face of the watch, so sunlight can be captured and converted into power on a continuous basis. The watches battery can even store the solar energy for use up to seven months, which is excellent news for consumers who must endure a miserable British Autumn and Winter! While it makes every bit of sense that the watch should comprise solar technology, which is able to harness a completely free and renewable source of energy, this did not solve the problem of keeping the time up to date.
Innovations by G-Shock enables the wrist watch to update itself six times each day from time signals that are broadcast by radio clocks located across the world (UK, Germany, Japan, China and the US). Obviously, this is extremely beneficial to users who ought to no longer be concerned with finding tiny cell batteries or resetting the time and date every week or two. This product will likely appeal to eco-friendly consumers.
