G-LIDE Timepiece Great for Extreme Sports
TOKYO, April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Casio Computer Co., Ltd., announced today the latest addition to the G-LIDE line of watches for extreme sports, which are part of the G-SHOCK brand of shock-resistant watches. The new GBX-H5600 is the first G-LIDE timepiece featuring a heart rate monitor.
Since its debut in 1983, G-SHOCK watches have continued to evolve in functionality, structure, and design, while maintaining outstanding shock resistance. The G-LIDE line, designed for extreme sports, has become popular. It offers features for seaside activities and water sports such as surfing, including a tide graph showing tide levels and moon data indicating lunar phases.
Building on the existing functions for seaside activities, the new GBX-H5600 features a heart rate monitor for the first time in a G-LIDE watch. The watch is designed to support a wide range of activities, from extreme sports such as surfing to everyday workouts.
Equipped with an optical heart rate sensor and an accelerometer, the GBX-H5600 enables real-time monitoring of physical condition during exercise, and it tracks distance, calories burned, and other data. Training functions are available for four activities — running, walking, gym workouts, and interval training — supporting more effective workouts. Data captured by the sensors is transformed into training insights using science-backed algorithms from Polar Electro, a global leader in wearable sports and health technology. Results can be easily viewed in the CASIO WATCHES smartphone app, where detailed data and insights help users manage their health and improve performance.
The display features a high-definition memory-in-pixel (MIP) LCD, providing clear visibility in direct sunlight and other outdoor conditions, no matter what the viewing angle.
The bezel uses translucent resin, creating a see-through design that reveals the internal construction and gives the watch a crisp, refreshing look suited to seaside scenes. Key resin components in the bezel, case, and band are made with bio-based resin, a material expected to help reduce environmental impact, for an environmentally aware design.

DAEGU, South Korea, April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- TCL Solar is currently exhibiting its latest photovoltaic solutions at the Korea Green Energy Expo, reinforcing its commitment to advancing South Korea's renewable energy market. As South Korea is poised to become a key global player in the solar energy sector, the country is on track to achieve a cumulative installed solar capacity of 55.7GW by 2030, with over 5GW set to be installed annually. Among the growing demand, distributed and floating photovoltaic systems are driving significant market expansion.
TCL Solar is actively supporting South Korea's renewable energy goals by offering high-efficiency, reliable solar modules and localized services that are integral to helping the country meet its solar installation targets and accelerate its transition to sustainable energy.
TCL Solar is showcasing its T5 Pro TOPCon Multi-Cut Product, which utilizes advanced TOPCon technology with overlapping cell architecture, offering a maximum power output of up to 670W、755W. This cutting-edge solution represents the pinnacle of high-efficiency solar energy.
Additionally, the C2 BC Module, powered by Back Contact technology, delivers significantly higher energy yields, making it perfect for complex applications with high BOS costs, low ground reflectivity, limited land availability, partial shadow scenarios, or aesthetic requirements.
The BC module with its no busbar design and no front metal lines present a more visually appealing aesthetic, meeting Korean architectural requirements. Offering a power output 20W higher than TOPCon modules, it also maintains significantly better hot spot resistance and a degradation rate of just 0.35%.
Additionally, the company introduced the lightweight modules (5.4kg/m², reducing weight by 49%) that are particularly suitable for low-load rooftops of aging factories in Korea.
Besides, the company proudly congratulate Prana Solution Co., Ltd. on winning the 2025 TCL Solar Top Sales Award on site. This remarkable achievement highlights the strong partnership between Prana Solution and TCL Solar, built on a shared commitment to innovation and sustainable energy.
Backed by TCL Zhonghuan's (TCL Solar parent company) advanced manufacturing capabilities including the launch of the industry's first 4.0 silicon wafer factory in 2020, TCL Solar guarantees excellent quality and technical support. TCL Solar will continue to collaborate with local partners to help South Korea achieve its renewable energy goals, while advancing its global expansion through partnership with the Korean market for mutual growth.
