About Solar Watches
It seems that the using of solar power is hot these day, especially in today's eco friendly world. When many solar powered watches were developed in the 1990's, the using of this power is a hot topic in the watch making field.
In this article we are going to look at modern day solar powered technology in watches and the benefits and drawbacks compared to other non solar powered watches. We are also going to look at the durability of these solar watches and how easily watch repairs can be done.
Solar Powered Watch benefits:
With all things solar powered the obvious benefit is that it is environmentally friendly. When applied to watches, a solar powered battery only needs a few minutes of sunlight to run the watch for several weeks (depending on the make and model).
Also those harmful batteries are no longer a problem with solar power. This has a major environmental benefit if you add up the vast quantity of watches throughout the world. In effect you are saving millions of mercury batteries hitting the landfill sites.
One thing that I personally think is a massive benefit is that you would not have any more nuisance stopped watches as a solar powered watch is constantly charging itself up whenever it is exposed to a few minutes of sunlight.
In terms of watch repairs, it is very much a good thing. The main component is the rechargeable battery that is generally a lithium ion battery. This makes general watch repairs on a solar powered watch relatively easy however there are always instances when it is not the battery that is at fault so therefore will need a professional watch repairs company to inspect, identify and solve the problem.
Solar Powered Watch drawbacks:
The only obvious real drawback however unlikely it is, is the fact that if the watch does not receive an adequate amount of light. In modern solar powered watches it doesn't even need to be natural sunlight; it can be from artificial light too. So the chance of not having 2 to 3 minutes of any light for a whole week is extremely unlikely.
To sum up it appears that solar watches are extremely practical in this modern day and age. They seem to tick all boxes that anyone could want them to tick. They are practical, cost effective, reliable and to all intents and purposes they have limitless life in the battery. Moreover they also appear, from a watch repairs point of view, to be very durable and again in most cases simple to fix.
Now we have covered all areas apart from the designs of solar powered watches. The using of solar power is considered to gain success in watch making. Luckily, there are many major manufacturers all bringing out modern and up to date designs, so it seems that solar has the full package with a nice eco twist as a unique selling point. How will the energy of watches be in the following years?
