Solios is a super brand of solar-powered watches with vegan straps. This is a Canadian company, but it’s a one-time purchase and you then need no batteries ever again. These watches are now in the UK, so you can just buy from the online shop, to save the hassle of imports and custom fees.
Designed to charge for 6 months, just by a couple of hours in the sun, these watches use clever technology. The charger also works by daylight, so don’t worry if it’s raining! The solar panel is hidden under the dial, and should charge your watch for a lifetime.
This company could get rid of the 1 million + batteries used for watches each year. They are simply not needed anymore. The solar battery life of this watch is 50 years!
In many styles and colours for men and women, you can swap the strap if wished, just use the tool-free quick release mechanism. The eco vegan leather straps are free from PVC, just wipe with damp cotton to clean.
Recycle watch batteries (choking hazards) at jewellers. Send broken and unused watches (and other jewellery) to Animals Asia, where the metal is used to raise cash for its work to help bears and other creatures abroad.
