Batteries that can be charged and re-charged by the sun make a solar watch environmentally responsible. A number of brands use solar technology in their watches, which means you have a range to select from. You can find highly stylized solar watches and plastic solar-powered watches, all in colors from silver-toned to black to bright white.

If you wear the Citizen Perpetual Calendar Chronograph on your wrist, you will, no doubt, enjoy glancing down at the watch time and time again ' it's just that complex and good looking. This stainless steel bracelet with a silver-tone round dial is not solar powered, but has solar movement and you can choose between a 12 or 24 hour time format. The dial features black, white, and red markers, which are luminous. The chronographs stand out in black against the polished stainless steel. You can wear this watch with anything from jeans and a t-shirt to slacks and a button-down shirt, and look professional enough for business wear. Water resistant to 100 meters, the sports watch has an inner dial that rotates. Pretty cool if you ask us.
But what might be even cooler in the solar department is the Freestyle Men's Boiler Watch. It's not only a smart watch but a super sleek and contemporary.' This thing is ultra modern: picture a polished square grey metal case with contrasting stripes. Inside the square is a circular digital dial, with large numbers displaying the time, date, month, year, and battery power level. Plus, you get a stopwatch, timer, 12/24 hour time formats, an alarm, and more. So what about the solar powered part? This watch provides 12 months of power on one solar charge. That's intelligent design, both technically and stylistically.

With solar atomic timekeeping, this watch offers 10 months of solar rechargeable battery life from one full solar charge.' A backlight, timer, world time zones, and stopwatch come on the watch, as does an automatic calendar good until 2099. And of course, the watch is shock resistant and water resistant to 200 meters.
Capture the power of the sun with a solar watch on your wrist, and you won't have to worry about when the last time was that you changed the battery.
