I just bought a $32 (¥4,000) solar powered watch. For that price how could I resist? It's a SmileSolar, Q&Q -TIME FOR EVERYONE-, and it's lots of fun. Light weight, so far very reliable, water resistant and cute, I'm enjoying having it on my wrist.

This is the most inexpensive solar powered watch that I've ever seen.

Hi,

Very nice!!

The display rack reminds me of my trip to Tokyo in 2009....totally unknown language, we had to imagine and deduce what was written everywhere!!

Your watch looks like it is made by Citizen, most likely an Ecodrive movement inside, for the price paid, really hard to beat.

The watch style they propose looks similar to Swatch on their website, but with solar power....Citizen should market those in Europe and America,they could give Swatch some serious competition in the casual/fun/trendy watches style.


Cheers!!

Seb

$7 Solar Digital. Doesn't work too bad, I dont believe it is super accurate. I think it is a clone of the Suunto Vector

Casio has a few in the 15 to 35 dollar range too. Can't beat em when you need a cheap fun beater!

Looks good! How's the readability of the dial? In your first pic, the hands contrast nicely with the dial, but in the rack shot it's hard to even see the hands.

It gives a whole new meaning to "sterile dial" - nice though.

This one from the '80s' at $16.99 - Cheers p ;-)

A few weeks back Walmart was blowing out Casio solar watches for short money. $20.00 & below.

The readability on the blue watch that I bought is medium. The contrast between the hand color and watch face color is greater on other Q&Q watches, though. The red face one is noticeably more readable.

OP, is that Q&Q watch still going well now that it's been a few months?
I was looking for an inexpensive solar watch, and found this watch:
http://www.amazon.com/Black-Solar-W...odeID=7141123011&keywords=solar+powered+watch

It looks like the hands are more visible against the black face, so I was curious about your longer term experience with the watch....

I'm not the OP, but I did pick up a red one 9 months ago after seeing this thread. It's light and fun, but doesn't get a lot of wrist time. Still keeping good time.
