Solar-powered watches

Solar watches

The battery of a solar-powered watch is charged by light (from the sun). This means the battery does not need to be replaced regularly, unlike in a standard quartz watch. Consequently, a solar watch is not only user-friendly and low-maintenance but also a more sustainable choice. This technology is used in various types of watches for men and women; from dress watches to dive watches and connected watches, you will find nearly 400 different models on the hollandwatchgroup.com website. Popular models include the Casio Waveceptor, G-Shock Mudman and Citizen Military. We ship the watch immediately on business days.

What is a solar watch?

A solar watch is a special type of quartz watch that uses (sun)light to charge the battery. How exactly does this work? Small solar cells, which are incorporated in the dial, capture the sunlight and convert it into energy. This energy is stored in the rechargeable battery, which in turn moves the hands so that the watch keeps perfect time. No daylight available for a while? With many solar watches this is not a problem at all because they can also charge themselves with artificial light.

How long does a solar watch last?

With a full battery, a solar watch lasts 1 to 12 months, depending on the brand, model and functions used. If the watch has stopped completely, a few minutes of light is often enough to make it run again.
To know how much solar energy your solar watch has still stored, you can consult the battery indicator. You can see whether your watch has such an indicator on our site with the specifications of the watch, or consult your user manual.
Many modern solar watches also offer energy-saving options. Often they will enter standby mode if you do not use them for a while or when it is dark. Please note that a rechargeable solar battery must also be replaced at some point (about once every 10–12 years).
