A Solar Watch is a watch which moves by converting light energy into electronic energy.

Light energy received by a solar cell (solar cell unit under the dial) is converted into electronic energy. The energy is stored in the rechargeable battery and is used to move the watch.

Unlike a disposable battery such as dry battery and button battery, a rechargeable battery is an eco-friendly battery. It can be used for a long period of time by recharging and discharging the energy repeatedly.

Environment Suited for Recharging

In order to recharge a solar watch, it is necessary to expose it to light.

Since room light is weaker compared to sunlight, it takes a longer time to recharge the watch. Therefore, when recharging, please place the watch by a window and expose it to sunlight with the dial facing the sun.

When recharging the watch, make sure that the watch is not heated to a high temperature.

Environment not Suited for Recharging

A solar watch cannot be recharged in the dark. Under the following situations, the energy is likely to run out, resulting in stoppage of the watch.

1. The watch is concealed under a sleeve.
2. The watch is used or stored under conditions where it cannot be exposed to light for a long time.

The watch cannot recharge enough energy from wearing it on the wrist. Make sure to place it by a window and expose it to sunlight when not wearing it.
