Here we see 4 Eco-Drives in the Wild
Welcome to “How to Maintain and Care for your Solar watch 101”
I set mine in the window. I’m lucky I don’t live in a rough neighborhood or this wouldn’t be a wise decision.

Love my EcoDrives. Sit in the window every morning
Mine sit in the window also, but that's their safe place.
In the wild is on the wrist doing whatever everyday activities you're doing.

That’s true
You guys know they will charge from indirect light right? There is no need to put them in direct sunlight to keep them running.
Nothing better than some sun.
Enjoy those beauties!
Cheers!
I have a usb led light I got from IKEA for this very purpose.

Where I keep them they don’t get enough indirect. I’ve had eco drives die there before so I like to charge them up fully from time to time.
I’m an Australian so Sunlight isn’t a problem its solar radiation degrading the components is the problem . :)
Mine (G-Shock Tough Solar) sit in a room that is dark 22 hours per day and never has sunlight other than what sneaks around the opaque curtains. I wear each of them about once a week. That one day a week is plenty. Casio says that ~ 30 minutes of daily sunlight through a window will keep it going. Once fully charged (a couple of days in direct sunlight to get it there from zero) should keep it going for 6-12 months.

I would like to see a three-handed solar mecha-quartz watch. It would solve two complaints about quartz - the ticking second hand and battery changes. But I know of no such watch. You would think this would be no problem for a fully charged solar watch that could run for 6-12 months.
