Why solar is so practical
Tough Solar means a solar cell under the dial keeps charging the built-in cell with ordinary ambient light. In practice you never worry about a dead battery or an expensive battery change - the watch keeps itself running as long as it sees light now and then.
Features and use
Besides analog time, the digital window shows date, a second time zone (world time), stopwatch, countdown and daily alarms. It's a few-button operation, no menus or app. With 100m water resistance you wear it carefree in the shower or pool.
Frequently asked questions
Will I ever replace the battery?
In normal use, no: the solar cell keeps the cell charged via ambient light. Only after many years might the rechargeable cell weaken.
Is it a smartwatch?
No. It's a classic analog-digital watch with world time, stopwatch and alarms - no notifications, heart rate or apps.
