How long does a G-SHOCK solar charge last?
Solar g-shock watches use tough solar technology from casio. This tech helps the watch’s battery last longer than 10 years. These rechargeable watch batteries or capacitors are used in solar powered watches, such as the casio aw and mrw ranges and a number of citizen, seiko and pulsar watches, to hold the charge which powers the watch. Eventually these batteries/capacitors can lose their ability to hold charge and need replacing.Our solar watches boast efficient power reserves of up to four months, which can be charged by any light source to minimize battery replacements.These rechargeable watch batteries or capacitors are used in solar powered watches, such as the Casio AW and MRW ranges and a number of Citizen, Seiko and Pulsar watches, to hold the charge which powers the watch. Eventually these batteries/capacitors can lose their ability to hold charge and need replacing.The batteries used in solar-powered watches such as Eco-Drive watches are rechargeable cells. Rechargeable cells can be recharged repeatedly and, unlike conventional batteries, they do not need to be regularly replaced.Solar watches usually store energy in rechargeable batteries to power themselves when there’s no sunlight, such as during the night, when covered by clothing or when placed in storage.
How to charge a G-Shock solar watch?
Exposing the watch face to light after the battery goes dead will cause the second hand to revolve counterclockwise until it stops at second 57. This indicates charging has started. Exposing the watch face to light after the battery goes dead will cause the second hand to revolve counterclockwise until it stops at second 57. This indicates charging has started.Exposing the watch face to light after the battery goes dead will cause the [CHARGE] indicator to appear and the second hand to rotate counterclockwise until it stops at second 57. This indicates charging has started.When the hands are stopped completely, there is a possibility of the rechargeable battery being out of charge. If this occurs, please recharge it by a window by exposing it to sunlight for 5-6 hours before using it again. In case the watch is used before a sufficient recharging, it may stop again.Note. Exposing the watch face to light after the battery goes dead will cause the second hand to revolve counterclockwise until it stops at second 57. This indicates charging has started.
What are the disadvantages of solar watches?
One of the most significant disadvantages of solar-powered watches is their dependence on sunlight. Without sufficient exposure to sunlight, this watch will not be able to charge the batteries and therefore will not work. Solar watches have semi-transparent dials (faces), so light hitting the face of the watch passes through the dial and hits the solar panel behind it. The solar panel converts the light into energy, which charges the rechargeable battery in the movement.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.In order to recharge a solar watch, it is necessary to expose it to light.

Therefore, when recharging, please place the watch by a window and expose it to sunlight with the dial facing the sun.Your solar-powered watch/clock can be charged indoors by the light from a fluorescent lamp or incandescent lamp. However, charging your solar-powered watch/clock by indoor lights will take longer than charging it by the sunlight.Never use ordinary batteries for your solar-powered watch/clock. A solar-powered watch/clock uses a special rechargeable battery called the secondary cell. If it is replaced with batteries of different kinds, your watch/clock may be seriously damaged.
