Does anyone know anything about Bering Watches? Looking for an everyday solar watch thats well made and works well that wont break the bank. Thanks folks for any help.
I can second @jbird7986 I’ve got 2 g-shocks that run off tough solar and 1 Citizen Eco-drive and they all work great. Also recent got the Timex North Field Post Solar which works well and cost me about $45. Here’s my 4 pics:
I tried on the ultra thin Bering Solar in titanium and thought it seemed a bit flimsy. But you can see the kind of watch I’m into.
My wife bought me a Bering solar watch for Christmas a few years ago.
It's a pretty good watch, but the solar charge does not last nearly as long as a Citizen Eco-Drive or the solar cells in Seiko or Casio watches. It seems to be about the same as one of the cells in a Timex solar watch, and I seem to get about 3-4 months off a full charge. Despite not holding a charge as long as some other solar watches, it is a good watch, and the mesh bracelet is great; one of the most comfortable mesh bracelets I have worn. Hope this helps.
I feel like a Citizen Eco-Drive or solar Casio G-Shock would meet your needs, and they have great reputations.
Thank You jbird

Centric watches are great value and very well made, starting at $225 USD
