G-Shock And Surfrider Foundation Limited Edition Timepiece
After last summer’s highly successful collaboration to commemorate 25 years of protecting the world’s oceans, waves and beaches, G-Shock and the Surfrider Foundation have joined forces again to create a second co-branded collaboration watch. The GRX5600SRF-3 combines G-Shock technology and Surfider sensibility with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the non-profit organization.
Ecologically conscious, the G-Shock X Surfrider watch has Self-Charging, Tough Solar Power technology – a tiny, solar panel combined with a large-capacity rechargeable battery which enables a variety of energy-hungry functions to operate smoothly. The result is an impressive solar timepiece that assures reliable timekeeping and greatly reduces the need for battery change. With its shock resistant construction, unmatched solar power function and recycled packaging, the GRX5600SRF-3 is a tough, fashionable and more importantly, eco-friendly accessory.

“Casio is known worldwide for consistently producing superior quality watches, and we could not be more excited to be partnering with them for the second year in a row,” says Matt McClain, Surfrider Foundation’s Director of Marketing and Communications. “This limited edition collaboration is ecologically friendly and a great way to highlight our commitment to protecting and preserving our coastlines.”
Designed with the surf lifestyle in mind, the G-Shock X Surfrider timepiece features a Tide Graph function with 100 pre-set site locations as well as a Moon Age & Phase Data indicator for the ultimate tracking the tides. The watch’s bright yellow and deep jade motif with the Surfrider logo on the band and the back case add an extra pop of color on the beach or out riding the waves.
