10 Reviews: Best Solar-Powered Watches (Apr 2024)

Casio is not a new player in the watch world. The Casio Solar Sport Combination Watch is one of their popular products. Apart from its affordable price, this analog-digital can store up to two years of power reserve in a single full charge. Where is the power taken from? From any light source, whether natural, artificial, or even the weakest light source. Isn’t that amazing?

This Casio Solar is a sturdy watch, solid build, comfortable to wear. This is my "weekend" watch that will undoubtedly get beat up over time, and I fully expect it will not stop working. Analog hands easy to read. The solar charging will mean no battery changes - power reserved is quite long so that wearing it once or twice a week will mean never having to set it. The digital window is used for timer, alarm, STW etc. functions. For price/value/function - you can't beat the Casio watches.

The Pulsar looks luxurious with a stainless steel band and bracelet, paired with a fancy blue dial color. It features three chronograph subdials and luminous hands and markers for easy reading. Close to numbers 4 and 5, there is a date window so you don’t need to check the calendar anymore. Plus, it is 100 meters water-resistant.

A great everyday Pulsar watch! very attractive and well built. the solar works great, it stays charged for a long time. you don't need direct sunlight to make it work. all you need to do is wear the watch and go on with your normal business and the watch will charge itself automatically whenever you're outside or where light is present. simple with very high detail for a basic dress watch. the stainless steel bracelet is good. a must have for watch collectors like me.

The Citizen Eco-Drive looks classic with its stainless steel round case and a stitched green canvas strap. Apart from being mud resistant, this tactical watch is water-resistant to 10 ATMs, helping it keep working even when you wear it while snorkeling. What’s more, it features a Japanese-quartz movement that charges in natural light.

I like the styling of this watch, but of course, that's subjective. The eco drive is terrific. The battery isn't going to fail when least expected because it's solar. I wasn't sure I'd like the band, based on the pictures. When I received the watch, I discovered the band is more finely crafted than the pictures suggested, and it's fairly stiff and solid. If I lost this watch, I'd buy it again.

How could this gorgeous watch cost less than $200? The sleek and minimalist design is highly scratch-resistant, thanks to the sapphire crystal coating on the dial. On a single full charge, this solar-powered quartz watch can last for 6 to 12 months; durable enough to follow you to the office or take a swim. Psst, this elegant timepiece is water-resistant up to 5 ATM!

I bought this watch last year and it gives perfect time and lots of people want to know where I got it! Excellent watch for excellent value and it is SOLAR too,

This all-black and sleek design are similar to the product we discussed earlier, BERING’s 14440-222. Its features are also the same, namely stainless steel material with date and time function. What makes the Seiko SNE325 different is this watch boasts water resistance up to 100m, making it suitable for snorkeling as well as swimming.

I have another solar watch from Seiko and this is perfect just like the other; came exactly as pictured, very easy to remove links and is a good weight. Would definitely buy again or give as a gift to someone!

When it comes to durability, G-Shock occupies the front row. Rangeman is designed with a mud resistant case and buttons that prevent mud, dirt, and dust from getting into the watch. It features multiple displays to display a compass, a barometer, an altimeter, a thermometer, a sunrise/sunset function, a stopwatch, an alarm, and a calendar function. This watch can also handle low temperatures up to -10 C.

I own a Casio Pathfinder with the ability to set time automatically and it can charge the internal battery using solar, it has served me well for years but I decided it was time for a new watch; I decided to purchase the GW-9400-1CR because of the positive reviews and it's packed with all the features of the Pathfinder, but what really sold me was the ability to adjust for magnetic declination when using it in compass mode, those folks who use a compass for land navigation will appreciate this feature.

It is totally possible to wear this watch while swimming, showering, or even snorkeling thanks to its water-resistance of up to 20Bar or 666 feet. What makes this watch unique is its fun wavy molded polyurethane band, making it the ultimate accessory for everyday wear. It also comes with a date window at 4 o’clock as well as luminous hands and markers.

This watch is worth every penny and MORE. Its lighter and smaller than it looks but the quality is there. Comfy and everyday functional. The color is spot on with the picture here. Plus, I got it during Amazon Prime Sale days for around $114 plus tax...but still I would have bought this at the normal Amazon discounted price. It runs on solar...low maintenance and it looks good on my wrist...and soon on yours. BUY if you like this dark blue color.

Prove that a dive watch can be as stylish as a dress watch with the Seiko Men’s SSC017 Prospex Watch. It is water-resistant to 200 m which means there is no problem using it for professional marine activity and will stand up to a variety of water sports. Powered by light energy means no battery change required. No need to worry about your watch suddenly stop functioning.

This is as solid of a diving chronograph watch as you are likely to find anywhere including the many overpriced Swiss diving watches you can pay thousands for. It literally reeks of high quality. And it's a solar watch, which means no batteries will need to be installed. This feature will keep this watch waterproof because the seals won't need to be disturbed. And it will save you $15-20 every two years. The watch is on the heavy side, but not too heavy to be comfortably worn.

Still with products from Seiko, SSC139 Essentials has a water resistance index that is smaller than the SSC701 Prospex, which is 100 meters so you can’t wear it for scuba diving. All types of light can be drawn to operate this great-looking watch. To ensure this precious timepiece sits nicely on your wrist, it uses a foldover clasp with double push-button safety closure.

This was a graduation gift for my husband. He loves the watch. The solar powered watch does not loose time. My husband has had trouble with watches in the past gaining or loosing time. This watch keeps it time. LOVE IT!!!! The band is black and silver and looks great.
