Interestingly, I just got a new EcoDrive watch. Out of those styles, there are 9 men’s/women’s matched sets. There are 27 different men’s styles and 9 different women’s styles. The marks are easy to see in the dark as well as in daylight. There is a fluorescent coating on the dial face for the tick marks and the hands. I also like the safety clasp they selected. The finish on the band is very comfortable. It takes 3.5 hours to charge fully, in sunlight and 1 minute to charge for one day’s worth of power.Īlthough I’m not fond of bracelet watches, this watch, being mostly titanium is extremely lightweight and very durable.
My watch, a Solar-Tech 180 is designed to run on a full charge for 180 days, (or 6 months).
The lithium-ion battery will probably run this watch forever. Ok, so much for the canned science lesson, now let’s review the features. Power the watch up to sixteen months (depending on model) With regular exposure to light, ECO-Drive continuously recharges itself.ĮCO-Drive’s revolutionary lithium-ion rechargeable battery stores enough energy to Styles.A solar cell beneath the dial converts any form of light into electrical energy to CITIZEN uses special filters which allow a wide range of dial colors and Sunlight and any artificial light are absorbed through theĬrystal and dial. It’s best described by this diagram that I downloaded from the Citizen web site. The main selling feature of these watches is the solar construction.
