Best Solar and Eco-Drive Watches
By World of Watches •
A solar watch charges its battery from light, so it needs far fewer battery changes than ordinary quartz. Citizen Eco-Drive and Seiko Solar are the best-known options. Wear it in daylight now and then and it should keep going for years.
How Solar Works
A solar cell behind the dial turns light into energy and stores it in a rechargeable cell. Daylight charges fastest, but indoor light helps too. A fully charged watch can keep running for months without light.
