Men's Solar Powered Casual Quartz Wrist Watch Analog Digital Multifunctional Black Sports Watch

There's a bit of a learning curve to the operation (turning the alarm and hourly chime on/off requires a "two-button boogie") that's mentioned in some of the reviews, but it's really not a big deal once you've done it once or twice, and probably necessary to vary some of the operations in order not to step on anyone's patents and such. Fair enough. It's unclear to me the extent of the solar charging of this watch; it does show two battery codes on the back, one of which (2016) is the 5- or 7-year baby, the other (626) just a run-of-the-mill 2-year-or-so cell. If the solar portion just decreases drain on the batteries, we're in for l-o-n-g battery lives. If it doesn't add to battery life (maybe it's just meant to kick in if your batteries go dead while you're on expedition somewhere), the watch still stands on its own for comfort and style points. The medium case size (roughly a 43mm) - large enough to be contemporary but not outrageous, with no "wings" or protrusions, and the pseudo dive strap with a single, wide strap keeper (I hate two narrow keepers - you always seem to be "chasing" them), give the watch the overall feel (light, like most resin watches, but still with enough "heft" so it doesn't feel like you're wearing a paper watch - as some do - and presentation of an old school dive watch. (Divers actually use dive computers nowadays, which, ironically, look like modern digital watches - we've come full circle - form follows function, folks.) Light, comfortable, legible, attractive . . . all for twenty bucks. Very cool!

Looks feels amazing I wanted a g shock that looks identical to this and that went up to almost 400 since last year it was only 260 crazy this watch is 20.00 I tell you it's big looks great I love it , amazing customer service on 1 issue I had they took care of everything so fast couldn't be happier. Buy one you'll enjoy it and how can you complain you can't beat the price .

I like the analogue hands, the controls are the most logical I have found. The larger digital display and backlighting is easily read at night for my aging eyes. The Casio watch I had I could not read. The only downside is its not as comfortable as other watches I have had.

The price is right. The watch works well

Had this for two years and I was very enthusiastic about it. However, it died recently and decided to see what's inside. I actually found that it has a miniature solar panel, but it also has two regular batteries, one big, flat 3 Volts, Maxell CR2016, and one little Maxell SR626SW underneath, I think it is a LR44. There are no rechargeable batteries, so it's not a real solar watch. It is unclear when it runs on solar, maybe outside, but most use is usually indoors, so this is not the smartest design. The 3 volt one was still functional while the other was dead. As an educated guess, probably for the designers it was cheaper to use a regular battery for backup and rely on solar only when outside. It's an arguable design to me, since a single 3V CR2016 would have lasted longer and would have been simpler to produce or service. It is well built but hard to take apart to service. There is a solar cell, putting out up to 5 Volts under a LED desk lamp, which is good under intense light, but at normal ambient light it it barely puts out 0.7 Volts. The current indoor is zero, so this is useless to power a watch, maybe under intense sunlight. The brand and model says VIMUN SC2813-8 A3/2. This is not looking easy to service, too many parts and little screws to take out. Plus the big flat 3 Volt is at the top, then you have to remove that to get underneath for the other smaller battery. Double work. Would have been a simpler design to use a rechargeable battery and a charging regulator instead of two batteries plus a solar cell. It would have also been a real solar watch in that case. Overall, I'd give it 3 stars because of the batteries. It is reasonably cheap to replace but no different than any other battery powered watch.

This is a fantastic SOLAR watch. I took some time to review it. I rely on reviews for my purchases, so I do not want to lead anyone on. I have worn it every day for 2 months. This watch is great. I am not easy on my watches Though I enjoy taking watches apart to fix them, I hate the idea of having to replace batteries. This is the first watch where the chronograph time did not stop working. It is great. The alarms are set to the digital time. The chronograph and digital times are separate and do not sinc up. The digital back light is bright and the brightest I have seen on a solar watch, this includes the high end Seiko and Citizen solar watches I have had. My wrists are a little larger than average. However, the strap fits and is secure but could be a little bigger. It will fit the average guy. The price is incredible for the quality.

Awesome Excellent product. I want to get multiple watches in different colors.

The watch worked fine for about one month. As soon as bright sunlight was not available, the analog watch stopped. Then, the digital part stopped working after 3 or 4 months. You get what you pay for. It looks nice....that's all I can say. Buy a better watch!
