Solar watches are environmentally friendly watches. A solar powered watch is a watch that is powered entirely or partly by a solar panel. In the 1990s, Citizen started to sell light powered watches under the Eco Drive series name. They have developed the Eco-Drive technology such that solar powered watches are now a major part of the range of Seiko, Citizen Eco Drive Solarwatches. Several other watch manufacturers Like Seiko Casio Solar Watches, offer similar watches or are developing such technology. Typically, sunlight and artificial light are absorbed by a solar panel behind the crystal. The dial is either on a layer above or actually on the solar panel. This solar panel converts the light into electrical energy to power the watch. The watch will usually store energy in a rechargeable cell to power itself during the night or when covered such as by a person's sleeve. Citizen's watches use lithium-ion rechargeable cell to store sufficient energy to power the watch for several months/years of darkness. However, this figure assumes that the watch enters a power-saving mode during which the seconds hand stops until the watch is re-exposed to light.
