Casio G-SHOCK Urban Utility Series: an eco-friendly watch for urban life introduced
By ForGeeks Casio has announced a new G-SHOCK Urban Utility series of watches, consisting of four models that combine durability, functionality and eco-friendliness with a focus on urban users. The new lineup includes two types of models, the DW-5610UU and GA-B2100LUU, each emphasizing sustainable materials and durability. The main material for the case and strap is biomass-based bioplastic, which is in line with Casio’s environmental goals.
The DW-5610UU is available in green and gray and features a layered bezel and an inverted LCD display that makes it easier to read in low-light conditions. It also features Super Illuminator, a powerful LED backlight for enhanced visibility.
