Solar charging makes zero sense in a smartwatch. The power requirement for such a device is usually at least 10 times greater than what a tiny dial size solar panel can cover. It wouldn't even start making a dent to it.

did you see the price?
 

around 700€....
which places it in the same tier with garmin, suunto and apple
and that is a pretty hardcore tier

I'm not sure how many hardcore fanboys, casio will be able to turn
