Casio launches tough G-Shock Rangeman watch inspired by endangered polar bears
The new Casio G-Shock GW-9408KJ-7JR was made in collaboration with environmental group Earthwatch

Casio has launched a new solar-powered G-Shock Rangeman watch with a design inspired by endangered polar bears, as part of a collaboration with international environmental group Earthwatch.
As reported by Casio fan blog G-Central, the new Casio G-Shock GW-9408KJ-7JR is a limited edition design with an off-white bezel made from phosphorescent material that glows blue in the dark, with blue accents.
It isn't a GPS watch, but it does have several features to appeal to runners, hikers and swimmers, including a barometric altimeter, compass, five alarms, timer, stopwatch, and LED backlight. It also has a tough shockproof design that's water resistant to 20ATM, making it suitable for high-impact watersports and recreational diving.
Love the Sea and Earth
It comes in a special box and drawstring bag made from recycled paper. It's due to go on sale in Japan in November, priced at ¥58,300 including tax. International prices and release dates have yet to be announced.
The new watch is part of the Casio's ongoing Love the Sea and Earth series of G-Shock and Baby-G watches. Other devices in the lineup include the leopard-patterned G-Shock GST-S310WLP-1A9 and Mudmaster GWG-1000WLP-1A, made to support the efforts of nonprofit Wildlife Promising.
