> unless I'm reading what Casio announced wrong. According to them, the watch will recharge enough with the solar panel quickly enough to use the fitness functions for 7 hours a week(1 hour a day).

You are reading it wrong. What it says is that if you use fitness one hour per day, you will have to manually charge it once a week

> a wired charger is also included. On a full charge, which takes around three hours, the watch will run for about a week when using the added fitness features for an hour a day.

Right, but surely there is some level of use that is not high enough to make the USB charging necessary, right? I plan to use mine 1-2 hours for fitness a week, I expect it will replenish that from the solar panel alone.

It's not clear. It's possible that even if you don't use the fitness at all, you'd still have to plug in once a month. Or maybe your situation would work, i.e. it could regenerate an hour worth over the span of a week.
