Casio America, Inc. has introduced latest addition to its portfolio of timepieces — the Solar Runner Extra Large STLS110H.

Whether you are a walker, casual jogger or speeding through a 5k, 10k, or feeling the need to train for a marathon, the timepiece comes with various features including solar power technology and stopwatch with 120-lap memory, accessible through a large and convenient front button.

The STLS110H uses Casio’s Tough Solar Power technology, which eliminates the need for battery replacement. After a full-charge, the timepiece has a battery life of approximately thirteen months without further exposure to light.
