How Solar Watches Work
Have you ever wondered how solar watches work?
Well, as the name indicates, they capture, store, and convert light energy into electrical energy.
In the early days of solar-powered watches, the solar cells were fully exposed. Take the Synchronar 2100 for example; it placed the cells on top of the case, giving it a unique and futuristic look. But nowadays, the solar cell is neatly placed just under the dial and still manages to do the job effectively.
When light hits the solar cell, it gets transformed into electrical energy and is then sent to a rechargeable battery for storage. And here's an interesting fact - despite being called solar watches, these cells can gather light from artificial sources too. However, the charging process is slower compared to sunlight.
Solar watches are not only convenient but also eco-friendly. They reduce our dependence on traditional batteries and contribute to a more sustainable world. So, next time you look at your solar watch, remember the amazing technology working behind the scenes to keep it ticking.
