I had to look up what Eco-Drive is. I'm confused by the marketing that it "uses no battery" but the promo video says that light is converted into energy that's stored in a "rechargeable power cell", which sounds like a battery to me. LOL
Do you know if it's a super capacitor, perhaps?
I have a Garmin solar watch, but know the battery it uses will eventually be what forces me to replace it down the line. I'd love to have a light-powered watch that uses a capacitor instead of a battery.
Honestly do not know where it stores the power. It charges whatever it charges with light (supposedly including indoor lighting) and physical movement. Had it 5 years and have gone months without wearing it in some instances, and the time stays accurate
That is so awesome! It's amazing how far analog watch tech has advanced!
Believe it or not the tech's been around for almost 30 years. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eco-Drive
Mind blown!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯
Found out something new myself based on this little exchange between us, I wouldn't have looked up the wiki otherwise. Pretty cool that they estimate they've saved over 10 million watch batteries from hitting a landfill. Makes me like the watch even more. There's no reason this shouldn't be standard tech for any watch over like $100. Not like the high end, super accurate, luxury watches, but you know what I mean
