While choosing a watch, most people decide on common quartz movements or automatic ones. It is, of course, the result of personal preferences, however, people often ignore the alternatives like solar watches. And that’s a shame, because in the future they will become one of the most crucial devices in the watch industry.

Solar movement - how does it work?

It’s quite simple. Under the dial of the watch there are solar cells, which absorb light and then convert it to usable electricity. And due to this electricity, the watch is working. This ecological and innovative solution revolutionised the watch market, making it very popular and desired, especially among the high-tech brands. The biggest advantage of those watches is that when the watch is fully charged, it will work for around six months without any additional source of light! It is possible due to excessive energy which is stored in the battery responsible for powering the watch when there is no light source around.

Solar watches - innovative technology

This rather simple method is admired by some famous watch brands. One of the first companies that started using solar movements was Seiko. In the brand's offer we can find many collections of solar watches, like Seiko Astron, Prospex or Seiko Solar.
