Solar quartz movements are powered by the sun's rays. Their specialized cells are a more sustainable option than traditional battery-powered watches and can often endure months between sunlight exposure. Most never need changing.
What’s more, unlike the Tsuyosa, this watch wasn’t made of stainless steel. Instead, it shipped with a far more ‘advanced’ Super Titanium case. I had to take a look at it.
As an introduction to affordable field watches, VAER’s C3 Korean US Solar watch is a fantastic place to start.
What you probably didn't realize is that some brands are secretly keeping their best watches from you…
I've been wearing this OCW-S100 for the past few weeks, and in short, it's similar to the T150, but has some unforeseen differences.
We can at least use this model as a reference to judge the build quality and performance of Edifice watches. Are they Casio's attempt at pushing heavily marketed junk?
Let's say you've got a budget of around $500. Should you go for one of the higher-end Casios? Or is Citizen the obvious choice at that price point?
Are these watches the true premium Casios I've been looking for? How can they justify the high retail price?
I’ve seen a few viable alternatives come and go, but recently I stumbled upon an option that may finally have surpassed it in raw bang for the buck.
Was I too harsh on Citizen? I did a little affordable watch brand tier list video in December last year and it’s fair to say that Citizen fans weren’t too pleased with the brand’s placing.
The brand, Casio. The specs; well, they’re out of this world. I think it’s time we gave this one the Ben’s Watch Club treatment, don’t you?
Solar watches work by converting light energy into electronic energy, via a specially designed photovoltaic system; akin to that used in a traditional solar panel.
That’s what I did a few weeks back when I stumbled upon this; the Seiko SNE479. To me, this Seiko looks nothing like any Seiko I’ve come across before.
Orient’s new “Stretto” RA-TX03 series is not only punching well above its weight - with a feature-packed movement and some beautiful dials, there's hardly any competition in this field.
