Solar powered watches are a useless gimmick. The solar cell's life span is shorter than 10 years, which is how long a Casio f91w's battery will last.
And it's not more eco-friendly either, cause it needs a rechargable battery which requires lithium.

I literally have 20 year old solar powered watches that still work. And even if the cell dies in a 5610, it’s easily replaced. You can even do it as a user; they’re incredibly easy to work on.

And I love the overall convenience of solar/atomic. I don’t give a shit if it’s more eco-friendly or not :D

I bought an $11 accutron at walmart with a solar cell. It's gone through the wash and dryer twice and it still works fine
