**Important Note**
I really enjoy watches and that's why I started this channel so I could review them regularly but my satisfaction is not found in owning or experiencing watches, no matter how many I may accumulate or how luxurious and expensive they may be . . .
Wise King Solomon said in Ecclesiastes 5:10 "He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity."
The truth is, material possessions of any kind, money, power, etc. never can and never will satisfy our hungering souls. Only knowing, loving, and serving God can truly satisfy.
The only way we can have a real relationship with God, the Creator of the Universe, is through the Lord Jesus Christ, the sinless Son of God.
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6
Through Christ's sacrificial death on the cross, for my sins and your sins, and His resurrection from the dead we can have peace with God (Romans 5:1), forgiveness of sins (Acts 10:43), eternal life (John 3:16), and so much more!
In Christ, we can know true joy now and for all eternity.
"He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life." - 1 John 5:12

Many YT narrators speak too quickly. Your delivery has the opposite problem. ln order for your voice to sound normal (to me, anyway), it's necessary increase the playback speed to 1.25, and even then, it's a very deliberate (slow) sounding delivery. The content, itself, is fine and informative.
I worked as a watch technician for the only Casio watch importer in New Zealand from 1979 to 1988 and I can confirm that I was working on solar powered casio watches in 1986 so they were definitely producing solar powered watches well before the 2000s ... they also produced the first touch screen watch in the mid 80s... it used 9 square clear inserts in the glass which you drew the numbers and actions + ÷ × - with your finger to operate the calculator.
Very nice! Thanks for watching!
Maybe u can work with us 🇺🇸 The Time X Company
@@mrhawk1924 I did work for a company (Time world) for a few years that imported and sold/repaired Timex watches ... They also manufactured / made Corporate watches from Citizen parts .... I did the lithographic pad printing of the dials.... Made a run of nice 200m divers watches for Quiksilver Australia.

Citizen is light years (pun intended) ahead of the competition
Thanks for watching!
Totally agree
Seiko is better imo. They have bolder much more masculine offerings. It’s still a jewel timepiece no matter who you go with but if you want a manly looking one at the same time, I would look for a Seiko. Their Coutura line is hard to beat. I own a model or two of course. I did my research. Found the perfect one for me. Model# SSG021.
@@mathewa.4032 Technically Citizen wipes the floor with them over and over again.
It’s 2023…I have one word for citizens in reference to their divers……SAPPHIRE
Just Sharing: 🙂 I stored some of my Casio and Seiko solar watches in the dark... after more than 2 yrs (this pandemic)... I tried to recharge these solar watches and hoping the batteries remained okay... GLAD my Seiko and Casio solar watches are working well 😊❤
Note: some of this watches are nearly or more than 10yrs to me 😊
Great! Thanks for watching!
This took some research and time. I can appreciate it and respect that. Thanks for doing this. I learned some new information. Excellent job brother.
Avg. Joe Watch Reviews Thanks for watching my friend! You are right, it did take a lot of time! I was actually planning to have it finished sooner! 😁
Another great informational video. I love you adding the history to the brand story. Really helpful!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Great video man. Love learning more about watches and this really was an interesting video about a niche but very important genre of watches that many overlook...for my 2 cents, its got to be citizen every time. 👍😊
Kevin Tyrrell Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed the video! Citizen is a great choice!
I think Citizen is one of the best solar watches i personaly have and old Word time model that have about 12 years and still working.The review is educational and interesting,good job,liked👍
Dennis Morales Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed! That’s awesome that your Citizen is still going strong! I hope you’ll subscribe if you’re not already!
I'm personally using Citizen solar watch since years ,it's nice .
Great video. You're going to make a real success of this channel. Keep up the good work!
SimonTheWatchGuy Appreciate the kind words! Thanks for watching and for your support!
Great job! The passion that you have in putting together all this information is amazing. I learned a ton. I thought solar watches are another type of movement.
Glad you enjoyed and learned something! Thanks for watching! I hope you'll check out more of my content on my channel!
Great video! My favorite Solar watches are the same 3 you mentioned, Seiko, Citizen, Casio.
Thank you for the great content
Glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching!
Citizen does solar best!
superfast30 You might be right on that! They do a great job with their Eco Drive!
Agreed while Seiko does Kinetic best
superfast30 What seiko solar watch do you own ? I got an Eco-Drive same time as I got a Seiko Solar and after 4 years the Eco-Drive won’t take a charge at all , but the seiko ssc015 is working great, so in my experience seiko is better
My eco drive lasted 8 years. The price of a new battery was so high I bought a Casio solar new instead.
@@thai3169 : could you perhaps buy a regular battery to fit ?
Thanks for the info and links. Much appreciated
I own a Tissot automatic and a Citizen eco drive. Aways wanted an automatic so got the Tissot for my first watch in many years and came across the eco drive feature and thought it was so cool I had to have one for my daily driver and keep the Tissot for occasional use. Thinking of trying one of the Jack Mason solar watches because I really like the compass feature that actually works. I will probably add a few more solar/eco drive watches to my collection just because it's such a no brainer as a watch feature.
Great video mate. I'd have to rewatch this before I go and buy a solar watch. Link in the description of course bro.
MJ Manuel Appreciate the support my friend! You should definitely pick yourself up a good solar watch some day!
A great presentation - packed with factual information - plus a new brand I had never heard of (Centric). Also, nice to see recognition of Bering - a brand which is ignored by the watch media.
Thanks for watching and for the kind words! I hope you'll check out more of my content!
Hard to find reviews on Bering. Just bought a Bering Titanium Solar watch. Everything about it impressed me. I'll see how it stands the test of time :)
best of luck! @@mafiotzi
Possibly the only video on RUclips that goes that far on the subject. Great!
Most discussion on the topic is limited to “quartz is poo poo. Swizz or nuthing! ::jizz squirt cum:: MECHANICAL!!!!”
Thanks for watching and commenting! Glad you enjoyed the video!
I have had a BN0000 for 20 years and it still works flawless. It doesn't even say Eco drive on it. It says SOLAR-TECH. I own 4 eco drives and 2 are over 15 years of age and still work perfect.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Change the battery ???
I collect Eco Drives as the only Non-Automatic pieces in my collection. My admiration for Citizen watches started with a Citizen Promaster Navihawk A-T JY8030-83E GMT, which I even today find irresistible with that mesh bracelet regardless of it the huge size. I have the green version of the Promaster Tough you are incidentally wearing but I also ordered the Metal bracelet only offered together with Black version, and it matches perfectly with the green version colorwise. Only unique piece in my collection, HAHA.
Very nice! Thanks for watching!
I've had a Citizen Eco-Drive Calibre 2100 'Panda' for about 10 years and I really love everything about the watch... The solar battery always shows fully charged regardless of the seasons and even if it's not been used for a while. In contrast, my other solar watch a Radio Controlled Casio G-Shock Tough Solar really struggles to hold a full charge and often drains to flashing 'charge mode' in winter. I know there is a difference in purchase price between the two but I still think that Casio needs to improve the performance of their Tough Solar batteries. The solar feature spoils an otherwise brilliant watch.
Very good information. Swiss Military has 3 solar watches in their catalog. I rather liked their titanium offering. Why didn't I buy it? I felt it was over-priced. Thanks to you, I now have some other options to check out.
Greg Alonzo I’ll have to check that company out! Glad you were able to hear about some other companies! Thanks for watching!
Excellent Video. A great effort in producing the content. You deserve to be successful.
Scout 1874 Thank you for the support!
Great video. I've just bought a seiko solar divers and have become obsessed with the idea of solar watches being the ultimate solution for any watch. I also have an original tissot touch titanium which is an amazing watch... except the battery life is hopeless.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for presenting all the great history of these watch companies.
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed the video!
I've had a Citizen for a few years I don't think that it was TOO expensive. (it was a gift) so I hope not. And it has run perfectly and kept super accurate time.
Originally, I absolutely love SWISS made time pieces; like my TISSOT super sport rugby tachometer chronograph. But I just purchased a : CITIZEN ECO DRIVE brycen chronograph perpetual calendar, rose gold w leather straps. Never ! Needing another watch again, one for work (tissot) and one for the weekend (citizen) couldn’t be more happier.
I like solar and mechanical because of the sustainable aspect; saving the earth from battery waste (and saving myself from purchasing lots of batteries). Pulsar wasn't mentioned although they're with Seiko. A couple brands in your video I'm looking forward to checking out. My Armitron Solar has held the test of time. So has my Citizen Eco-drive.
Thanks for watching! Glad you've got some good solar watches!
The amount of metal is negligible and can be recycled anyway. Climate hysteria
It depends! That was what I thought until I learned that the life expectancy of those rechargeable batteries (ctl1616) is about 10 years, maybe 20 years if you're lucky, so in the end you'll need to replace them. A CR2016 battery for a square g shock with basic functions (DW5600 series for instance) will last up to 10 years. In my country a ctl1616 recharcheable battery costs 13 US dollars, for the same price I can buy 100 (!) Sony CR2016 batteries for my DW 5600 g-shocks! So my conclusion is that tough solar is worth it only for those watches with power-hungry functions such as altimeter, barometer, compass...those functions drain a non-rechargeable battery very quickly, and you'd need to replace it after a couple of years only...but solar power is useless for watches with just basic functions. To me a tough solar GWM5610-1 g-shock which outside atomic time, has only basic functions doesn't really make sense. Maybe that Multiband 6 function is super power-hungry...but who really needs that function?!
Citizens solar tech is the most efficient and durable so far
They do good work! Thanks for watching!
Great video with interesting information!
One of the best videos i’ve ever seen, thank you 👍🏻👊🏻
Los Relojes de Sergio You’re too kind! 😊Thanks for watching! Which solar watch brand do you think is best? Did I miss any?
J. City Reviews 1st citizen 2nd Seiko 3rd casio , and you show me the other brands, now im looking armitron and 111 watches for my collection 🤩🙏🏻
Los Relojes de Sergio Thanks for the feedback! Glad you were introduced to some new brands! I did a review of a 111 watch on my channel if you want to check it out!
I have a couple of solar watches in my collection. Both are from Citizen. I have the Promaster and the Flieger B Dial. I have the black dial model which is no longer available. Anyway, not only a good review but also packed with info.
David McKenna Nice! Glad you have a couple Citizen Eco Drives in your collection! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Nice job, Very helpful, Decided on a solar, It's all new to me, Cruising the websites from your list, Thnx
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching! Don't hesitate to reach out if I can help!
I own seiko solar Steel & it is gifted by my son Bhushan from Canada 6 years back & working in wonderful condition & without problem. Even in less light & cold conditions it works miraculously & no single second difference even in manual book it is mentioned that + or - the first 25 seconds is experienced . Thanks to son & seiko company & Sai God for getting available such best watch - K Girish. India, Maharashtra, Pune
Thanks for watching!
Citizen, there's no competition.
Thanks for watching!
Great video. I'm looking at purchasing a Solar watch as a gift and considering between Citizen and Bering. Main criteria are that it has actual readable numbers, Clutter-free face (like the Citizen Field watch (Garrison) - Totally the opposite of the Citizen Nightmare...er..I mean Nighthawk, light-weight, an easy to put on/take off strap and a bonus would be one that illuminates in the dark. The only Bering option that matches most of the criteria is the Bering 16433-002.
I haven't had hands on experience with any Bering watches but I have with many Citizens and they are usually great pieces! Thanks for watching!
I own both promaster toughs.the H link bracelet and the black cordura strap..and they are accurate as hell..i wear them to work and my job is ALL hands and they stand up to the beating.
They're great watches!
Has anyone tried Centric watch? Their solar chronograph looks really nice but im not sure how much I trust a brand that launched in 2018
I have been wanting to start collecting solars. Didn't know where to start. You have made this decision for me.
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed! Hope you'll check out my other videos!
Great video man, hard to tell who has the better solar watch. However I do know that Citizen’s core product is the eco drive movement. Therefore that would be the “affordable” recommendation IMHO!!
SoCal Watch Reviews Thanks for watching my friend! I think Citizen has been the consensus so far! I can’t really argue with that!
Solar watches are just a no brainer lol it’s literally the most accurate and least maintenance-relied watch movements available Forrest.
Yes! Thanks for watching!
Seiko and Citizen are by far the best ones, but I am biased XD
Also, Coutura watches are INSANE value to money wise (they are Seiko's mid tier, something like between their regular line and Grand Seiko). actually no, I take this back, it's better less people know about them so they won't up their price :P
Great sum up! I fell in love with solar powered watches after getting a Pro-Master as a gift. My current collection of three (all that I want and more than I need!) is all solars and also what I wear. From less to more formal :
Casio B5600BC G-shock Tough Solar. WR20bar, composite link band, for hard work, sports and outdoor swimming
Citizen AT0361-06E World Time Chrono Eco-Drive. WR10bar, NATO strap, for daily wear, sports and indoor swimming
Seiko SNE525P1 blue dial Solar. WR10 bar, matching blue leather strap, for fancier occasions
If I had to keep only one, It'd be the Citizen as it combines some of the Casio functions (world time, chrono) with the classier look of the Seiko and it reminds me of Kaneda's bike from the Akira comics/anime.
I enjoyed watching this video. There isn't enough information on this platform on solar watches. I have a citizen chronograph which I bought 25 years ago approx. Granted it did spend a few years tucked away in a drawer until recently but it is still running strong. Love it
Michael Mizzi That’s awesome! Glad your Citizen is still going strong! I have a few videos I’ve done on solar watches. I hope you’ll check them out. Also, I hope you’ll subscribe if you’re not already!
Well my Seiko is only a couple years old and is not working my Citizen is 20 years old and going strong!
Thanks for watching and sharing this info!
Wow, what kind model is your Citizen and Seiko?
@@Eckoolt seiko solar and citizen eco drive
@flyfishincrazy Could you please be a bit more generic, if at all possible, that is...
My first dive watch is s citizen promaster automatic that I bought in the 90's. Then I bought another citizen divers watch promaster Aqualand eco drive that is more than 18 years old and still going strong. Last year I bought another citizen Promaster Aqualand Eco drive. I prefer my Eco drive divers over my automatic divers watch for accuracy and convenience. I put my eco drive under and LED lamp in our basement when not in use.
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Casios Tough Solar works great.
Yes they do
Hey J! Citizen hands down! No comparison...
Pedro Nogueira Thanks for watching! I think Citizen has been the company everyone has been saying!

Pulsar, Lotus and Alba also have solar watches, but they're all owned by Seiko and presumably use their movements. They are the budget brands compared to Seiko, like Toyota and Lexus. I have a Pulsar solar watch and I'm extremely impressed.
All the best.
Seiko is overpriced... Honestly their straps are bad and the endlinks are crap unless u go for higher tier seiko.... For solar id go for citizen and casio..
I hear ya! Thanks for watching!
What do you think of Citizen Chronmaster Eco-Drive? It has +-5 seconds per year accuracy. I think it is one of the few "luxury solar dress watch" that is missing in the market niche.
Thanks for watching! I don’t think I’ve heard of that one! I’ll have to check it out!
Just curious, i know a full charge lasts 10 years, but how long does it take to get a full charge? I have a seiko solar
Just ordered a seiko solar, pretty excited
Nice! Hope you enjoy!
Casio definitely. Just the Tough Solar G Shocks and ProTreks alone are awesome.
Great video. Very interesting.
No way really to prove which is the best.
I do have 2 Eco Drive Pro masters and a Solar Tuna. I would go with Citizen over Seiko with there solar models, basically beacause Citizen gets the QC right, and are much better values.
I wouldn’t compare digital watches to analog quartz watches. I also have some solar G-Shock squares.
Thanks for watching! Citizen does a great job! Glad to hear you have a variety of solar pieces in your collection!
What does QC stand for?
@Robert Riva It's short for Quality Control.
citzen rules at solar they put a lot time and money in this and that toyota is a mile maker bugat is not ... nice topic !!
Solios is another solar brand. Very new company. I haven't tried them myself. I have a Timex, Citizen and Casio solar watch. I love all three and because all three are so affordable, I don't have to pick a favorite. I can have them all. 😁
Thanks for sharing that brand. I haven't heard about it. Thanks for watching.
Nice video..i wonder how much i really need to build my own watch brand???? Whew..
count vertigo Thanks for watching! I have no idea about building your own brand...
I wish there was solar watch with a 4 - 6 ticks pr second secondshand.! Why Why don't they do that??
I didn't realise there were so many Solar watches out there. Like you I also purchased the citizen promaster tough(BN0211-50E) I now have my eye on a Seiko Astron (SSH073) a radio controlled satellite GPS Solar powered watch. Would you do a review on it? I'd love to know your thoughts. Cheers from Robert in Australia.
Thanks for watching! I've seen those Seiko Astron watches, they're quite impressive pieces though usually very busy dials. I'm not sure if I'll review one anytime soon although I'm not opposed to the idea.
Seiko Astron is the best in my opinion, rather expensive but what a beauty! I 've a great experience with a Seiko Astron SSH001J1, I also put Citizen and even Casio for the same amount of technology. It's just my opinion. Cheers from Yves in France.
@@yvesleponner9907 Check out the Seiko Astron SSH073 satellite GPS. it's a real beauty. I bought one earlier this year. Yes it is expensive but will last a lifetime with absolute Precision time keeping.
I have a citizen echo drive watch it’s a very good watch
The second hand is right on each marking your friend eddie
Thanks for watching!
Very useful info! I would like a solar watch too but somehow the women's choices are far less than men's. Do you think most are unisex or do you have recommendations for women?
Thanks so much for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I don't have a lot of knowledge in the women's watch realm but I know Citizen and Seiko make some nice options for women. I would look through their websites and see if anything catches your eye and then maybe try and find it on Amazon for purchase.
@@TheTownWatch thank you!
This is my new favorite video to fall asleep to. It is impossible to stay awake for the whole video.
Your brain be too small
Thanks!!
I have a Casio Solar Powered Wave Ceptor. This watch is very nice and practical. I have owned the watch for approximately 10 years. Unfortunately the case of the watch is made from a composite material and not from metal. The case broke on me just near the place where the wrist band attaches to the case. I have been unable to find a replacement case for the watch anywhere including the manufacturers Casio. I do however manage to fix the wristband in place by using, after many different brands of glues and resins, UHU Super Glue. The wrist band is still in place after using the watch for the past 4 months or so. If Casio made the case out of metal instead of a composite material I would find it very difficult to find a more rugged and serviceable timepiece at a very modest price anywhere. Well done Casio but please manufacture the case in metal.
Thanks for watching! Sorry this happened to you! I’m really surprised you couldn’t find a replacement case!
Casio does make solar watches from all metal. The resin watches are lower cost, so you get to choose what you want to pay for.
hello thanks for your vidéo,i have an eco-drive since 2014 which is great but heavy
i discovered an other brand with simple and light watches : Solios
Thanks for watching and for the comment!
I have both Solar and Automatic watches , Invicta and Tommy Hilfiger Kenneth Cole Michael Kors and Versace, plus Armani and Fossil.. and cheap ones like Biden and Forsingning and Toing and many more
Goals, functions, design and budget need to be defined first before evaluating "best". Example: Casio Duro overachieved in all goals, design, function and budget by at least 3x. But if a watch company hits the mark perfectly 1x, then it has less value than the 3x overachiever (even if they are in completely different price ranges).
My first Ctizen Eco Drive watch is now 15 years old and still going without issues.
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
What model number?
Citizen hands down best solar and maybe even value for solar. Orient has a solar chronograph (the neo 70s). I believe they have normal quartz and solar quartz variants.
Absolutely! Thanks for watching man! I forgot to mention Orient in this video but funny you should mention their solar chronograph, I might have one coming to the channel soon!
Perfect! I have one on my Amazon list and might make it my next purchase! Really enjoy the channel
The Orient Solar Panda is a very good looking chrono but they use Seiko movements.
My casio protrek PRG-120. tough solar after 13 years, battery still high level of charge
Awesome! Thanks for sharing and watching!
Nice video😀 Junghans has many solar watches in its collection, too.
Casio for me and their service dept is really good.
Casio is great!
Citizen wins , maybe seiko is good but i don't have enough experience
Thanks for watching!
I have both Citizens and Casios in my collection. Both work fine.
Citizen good in solar watch,. But they really lack of 38-40mm size solar watch, with good lume on it.
Good point! Thanks for watching!
What about bering solar watches ..r they any good
Haven't had one in person but there are probably good. Thanks for watching!
Very interesting.
tissot is very bad regarding sensors and compass...i am speaking after i tried and compared watches
Thanks for watching and sharing your experience!
I prefer kinetics over solar tbh. I like a bit of mechanical aspect with a rotor. I know kinetics are needy for those with large collection but fortunately my most worn watch is a Seiko AGS. It is old, made in 1988. I bought it pre-owned. The former owner has replaced the capacitor in 2013 so now the new capacitor is 10 years old. When I bought it, it was dead. I recharged it by shaking for few minutes. It run with no problem untill today. I haven't check the power capacity but the new modern capacitor should hold charge for few months at least.
Citizen Casio Timex
Junghans also makes a solar Max BIll, so that's a second luxury watchmaker besides Tissot.
Thanks for watching and pointing that out!

Thank you for the insight!
😅👍💯
Citizen has the best quality solar watches.
Thanks for watching!
You should go only to Casio Seiko citizen .
Thats it .
You forget to mention Orient solar that i recommend to .
H M These are the three best in my opinion! Thanks for watching! Hope you’ll subscribe if you’re not already!
Orient is a brand of the Seiko Epson Group and they use Seiko movements,which is not a bad thing. I've been drooling 🤤 over their Neo 70 Solar Panda but i already bought 3 watches this month 😓so i'll hold myself while hoping prices don't go up!! 🤞
i dont agree at the "luxory" argument for tissot. tissot is not realy a luxory brand, they have a lot of watches on the 500$ mark. like other brands, tissot have a full spectrum. for a luxory solar powered watch, there is, in my opinion, nothing other then the citizen cal. 0100. its the most acurate wristwatch ever produces, uses all of citizens mastership of great quartz movements and added a highly refined and presice finishing, that puts swiss high end watch companys to a shame.. oh, and the price starts at 10'000$. In terms of variety and reliability, i think, citizen is the king of solar watches, they have a great solar watch on every budget and for every taste and for every needs
Stefan Infanger I agree with you, perhaps we could call Tissot a “semi” luxury brand? I forgot about the Citizen Cal. 0100! This is an amazing piece for sure! Thanks for watching!
@@TheTownWatch your welcome :) btw: i think, you wear one of the greatest solar watches ever in the video.. the promaster tough is such an impressive watch for the price
Stefan Infanger Thank you! It’s one of my favorite watches! What are you enjoying wearing today?
@@TheTownWatch the same as you ;) is also one of my favorite ;)
Stefan Infanger Nice! 😁
Citizen, Casio and the others
i have 3 seiko solar watches. the first i bought it 6 years ago. i live in a country where there's little sunlight during the cold season. the watches never ran out of battery. very good price quality from seiko. totally recommend them 👌
Thanks for watching!
Solios solar dress watches are top notch also. An American brand.
Pulsar are great! Good quality and good price!
Timex released their first solar-powered watch, the Timex Solar, in 1997
If you don't have enough money to get seiko, you can get cheaper version under alba brand. But the choice is limited
I haven’t heard of that brand? Where do you buy them? Thanks for watching!
@@TheTownWatch it is a sub brand of seiko. I bought AEFD557 few years ago. Still working great. This week I bought seiko ssc015p1 on sale online. Alba AEFD557 for everyday use. SSC015p1 for formal wear. Love them both.
@@TheTownWatch I got few collection of watches myself. I love cheap and quality watches. I keep switching watches so automatic is not a good choice for me. Most of the time I use my cheapest watch (Casio quartz F-91W) anywhere I go. Practical and comfortable.
@@wanwannabe5855 Awesome man! That’s great! There are a lot of great affordable watches out there!
@@TheTownWatch ALBA IS COMPANY UNDER SEIKO GROUP
Orient came out with a solar powered piece.
There's also Pulsar Solar now
Great effort.
Thanks for watching! I hope you’ll subscribe if you’re not already!
Please tell if you were to choose one out of the three solar watches which one would that be? I am referring to Casio, Seiko and/ or Citizen solar watches.
Thanks
Shahenshah Bajwa All of them are great but I would choose Citizen!
Garmin Fenix 6x Solar, Best features for a solar watch out there!
I didn’t know Garmin made a solar watch! Thanks!
Yah but I don't think the solar system of this watch make it totally independent. I think it only make the battery life last longer than without the solar system but here we are talking about watches that doesn't need any external charge other than the light.
I love it when people are stoned and do reviews
MrAlucard1964 😅 Why do you say that? Is it because I’m talking so slow?
J. City Reviews Well yes and you’re eyes.
MrAlucard1964 I can definitely see why you might say this! I think I filmed this one late at night! 😅 Thanks for watching!
J. City Reviews Hey I was stoned watching it. Legal here in WA
MrAlucard1964 Gotcha, I never smoked in my life though.
In general a Camry is way better than a Bugatti, unless you want to talk speed
Camry is better coz:
1- it has four doors
2- it seats 5 people
3- it has a trunk
4- it's more safe
5- it's more reliable
... ect
So you should specify in which way you want to compare them
👍😅
