Nice video, and very practical test. 😎 I'm curious to know what level of charge you get off a regular incandescent light bulb though. Sometimes it's not just about intensity of light, but specific wavelengths that are optimal for the solar cell. And LEDs have a very narrow band of wavelengths that they give off. Even to the point there is no real white light LED. They accomplish it by a couple of different tricks. Either putting a red, yellow, and blue leds very close together. Or by using blue leds that pass through a phosphor that emits yellow light. Such that the led passes through, but mixes with the light produced by the phosphor from florescence to look white. Keep up the good work!

Thanks and you just had me roaming around my house trying to find an incandescent bulb as almost all I have is LED. I DID however find one and just tested it.... At 20cm it is at level 2, at 15cm it is 3, at 10cm it is at level 4, at 5cm it is level 5 and if I put it almost touching the lightbulb it goes to 6 but it burns my hand so it cannot be good for the watch. I think you are on to something as the bulb doesn't appear as bright as the LED and yet it gets even better results 👍😄

Great comment. An aquarium full spectrum LED light (the kind for keeping planted aquariums happy) will work pretty well as they have white, blue and red mixes to simulate a more realistic sunlight effect. I do agree that there is nothing better than real sun and a south facing window is the best but if one is in a place where this is difficult to obtain for the watches a light like this on a timer will do a decent job.

Thanks for flashing that light in my eyes

It's worth mentioning that the reason LED flashlights (&lights) are ineffective in providing high energy light to a solar watch (or other solar panel) is the very same reason that they are efficient at providing bright light without consuming power at a high rate (thus the absence of energy reaching the solar panels). LED = Light Emitting Diode. The emitter does not act as a continuous light source; it's a rapidly flashing light emitter. Our vision isn't capable of observing this affect; this is why car LED fog and headlights look so weird when seen in our rear view reversing camera, but normal when viewed directly. Your welcome!

That's not why. And most LEDs don't operate that way. This comment is almost entirely made up. It's incandescent lights that blink at 60Hz. LEDs almost never do this except for some with odd dimmer functions. I used to work at Eaton Halo lighting. It's the time integral of luminous flux that determines how bright it looks. So it doesn't matter if the source blinks at a 100Hz frequency. It's average energy over time LEDs are just very effective at turning electrons into photons. 90% vs 4% efficiency compared to a tungsten filament.

FYI. If you bring your flash light closer to the watch (touching the face of the watch) your charge lever will increase. Could reach level 6-7 with that flash light of yours. It’s called LUX. The closer light source to the solar panel the more energy it produces. You have a valid point about charging stations. Just make sure your tests are as accurate as possible ( like keeping the light on the watch, not half way) Thank you for the video.

The kind of LED light matters a LOT i have noticed. You can test this well with a solar calculator. Flashlights and their single cold-white LEDs really aren't suitable for charging solar watched. But if you lay it under one the shade of a desklamp that you have turned on during the evening, it will suck up that energy from the light at close proximity a lot better and getting quite a lot of power from it. And it's not wasted because you would have turned on the lamp anyway. Keeping that in mind also makes you more aware of what lights to use at your home and where to place them. All to keep the "no-light" periods for your solar watch as short as possible.

Totally correct, but I'm the exception. My room is pretty dark and I can't charge them all up by using them. I own about 80 watches (83, I believe) and their turn comes just once in a while. I converted a normal watch box (no glass) to a charging station with LED lights inside and a switch. I turn on the lights inside the box and let it run for some time and then turn it off in the evening. There is a bit of light bleeding from the case, that's why I don't let it run at night. I own 7 solar watches, all Casio and they are always on High for me, so it works if you really wanna do it. But I agree, for normal people who don't own 83 watches, it's as simple as going outside and touch grass for a while.

Since I bought my second watch I stopped using my gw-3500 on every day basis, and for a month and a half watch just lays on top of my desk in pretty dark room with curtains always on. But when I get home I turn on the light, and it also LED light - just two bulbs 7W each to lit the room, and charge level always stays on high level.

Good info, thanks. I typically use the sunshine outdoors to charge my solar watches. In winter when it gets to -40 outside, I use the sunlight that comes in via the windows. :)

I have a Casio Pro Trek with its original battery that’s 15 years old that I’ve charged regularly with a small lamp at my watch storage station. I use sunlight mostly but winter can make that difficult, but my little focused light works amazingly.

very useful, thank You Sir!

Good post which identifies the some of the few issues with solar watches. Solar watches are good, particularly the ones with the Citizen Eco-drive movement. If you need a quick charge in an emergency, use your cars halogen headlight on full beam. Place watch around 1 meter distance from headlight and in 30min or so it will provide enough charge for a few days use. Check the watch isn't getting too hot after a few minutes, and increase the distance if it is. Discovered this when camping during a dive holiday. Necessity is the mother of invention!

Cause I’m disabled paralyzed from the waist down and am wheelchair dependent. So it’s pretty tough to get outside much. And it’s really silly and begging for someone to see my watch and steal it. So things like that Coolfire charger for 28 bucks on Amazon is a huge advantage for me. Just saying direct sun light isn’t available to me in my life style. My main piece I have used the charger on is my MTGB1000-1AB.

So what were the model numbers for the 2 “G-Shocks” shown in this video?

Usefull indeed. Thank you .

"A dark cloudy day with a storm approaching." Or as we Scots call it.....a typical summer! 😂

Great content! Thanks so much! You should also try one of those smart lamps and see what different colors would do.

Im curious to see if UV light is the key to perhaps charging it faster

I've had the square Casio Solar Watch for a couple of months now, and it's always showing medium charge. It could be that it's because it's winter in the UK, and hence it's not getting a lot of sun. I sometimes pull my sleeve up a bit when outdoors to expose it to sunlight a bit. I've left it in my window for hours during the day (but it's not in direct sunlight) to see if it will make a difference to the charge level, and so far haven't had any luck. What sort of charge level does your Seiko watch get when left in a window during the day, but not in direct sunlight? Do you know what charge level is required to create a positive balance of energy throughout the day? I'm sure when summer comes along the watch will be fine, as it will get much more sun exposure, so I hope the battery stays charged until then.

Try keeping it on a window sill such that the watchface has a clear view of the sky or at least some line of sight to the sky. Do this for 3-4 days and you'll see the charge indicator go from medium to high. Try keeping the watch on your windowsills as much as possible for the battery to get a good amount of juice. Once it's fully charged, you only need a few minutes of exposure to light everyday and it'll stay on high. Worked for me for my Gravitymaster. I lived in the UK countryside for 5 years and I know it gets pretty overcast, especially during winters.

I have a Bering solar watch, quite simply you just need to let it see some light, any light and it will keep going for a very long time. When I first took it out of the box, in the evening in a subdued lit room, it started working right away with 2 second jumps showing it was under charged. Within a couple of hours it was running normally. I know it will live for decades so long as it can have some light as it's food source

Well, here in northern scandinavia days are very short in winter and I am in an office at work in the few hours of daylight , maybe wearing longsleeve that cover the watch or working infront of a monitor with only light in the roof, add some use of the functions of the watch and you can run out of juice. It has happened.

Great video. I have a Casio GRB100, does it need to be in direct sunlight for it to charge?

Sir pls solve my problem pls pls pls I'm having a csio youth series watch how many hours should I keep it in sunlight to have that radium light pls pls pls

Good video, thank you. What model Seiko was that?

I understand that the sun is most the efficient. However, I live in a northern city and my watch box sits at a north facing window. This scenario simply does not provide ideal solar exposure for my collection of watches. Any discussion on the best forms of artificial light would be great. Cheers!

I have a new Casio GA-B2100. I got it as a Christmas present. In the UK that is the season of murky grey skies , a low sun and short days. I noticed my watch dropped from full to medium charge immediately after set up. I thought I would charge it up by placing the watch in a window. It has been there for 3 days and no change from medium charge (despite one of the days being sunny). I even started placing it next to a lamp in the evening. So after four days of winter solar charging without being worn the watch is still displaying ‘m’. Is this normal?

I have problems in the winter (i live in michigan so it gets very cold) because i always have the watch covered by a long sleeve hoodie or coat, even at work and around the house i wear sweatshirts most of the time. On my desk at work i have an illuminated magnifying glass with a ring fluorescent bulb that i sometimes take my watch off and set it under. Its probably no better than the flashlight. Have you compared flashlight vs fluorescent light?

Fascinating!!!

Lots of comments on the energy for charging solar powered watches. My question, in case it has not been asked is on ultraviolet light (UV Light). How would this light source affect the charge, at what level and would it charge the watch at a faster pace than sunlight? I appreciate your studies and your sharing of information. Great job on sharing on your videos.

yes, a small uv light would be sufficient to charge a solar watch. however uv lights are bad for humans. just like how sunlight is bad for humans. be VERY careful with uv lights powerful ones can literally give you a sunburn in seconds. and even low power ones if left on in a room (it's invisible so you wouldn't notice) would give ve you a sunburn overnight. if not on for just a few moments it needs to be covered by a uv absorbing shell or put inside a container that blocks all light.

I use my bright LED desk lamp, and I measured lux, and they are above measurements limit, and works for my watches really great! 😁 P.S. During Summer I don't need it, just Winter.

Why do you need to put your watch on a window sill at all (at normal latitudes in the U.S.)? If you have a watch that supposedly can store a ten month charge, then it would seem that just wearing a short sleeve shirt in the summer would keep your watch charged enough to make it through the winter months. Any thoughts?

I have a gshock that a bought a 2years ago and loved so much. But I then I got an apple watch a year later and out the gshock in my draw I took it out the other day and was shock when I say it was dead. I thought I have to buy a new batter. I put it on my desk and today I say “Chg” blinking. I looked up what that mean and saw this video and now it make total since. NEVER put the gshock away. And now I love my watch even more. Thank you for this content, it was very helpful.

I like the way he talks with his hands when his hands are the only thing you can see besides the watches. It reminds me of the guy on Svengoolie. You can only see his hands but he makes random movements like this guy to emphasize the fact that he's talking. He sometimes even has to let go of the watch to use his hands, as if he can't talk without them.

I cheated. I got a charging station for my Tough Solar. When I got the watch, it was only 1/2 charged. I work mostly indoors, so it actually discharged completely. I’m happy to say that I spent $30 for a 10¢ bulb with a rubber gasket to hold the watch. Bitterness aside, it charged the watch and it’s been going strong.

Perfect review!

The whole point of having a solar powered watch is that you don't have to change the battery, but I just got my first solar watch and it ran flat and was dead when I was wearing it and it wasn't in a draw or anything. I am now giving it 20 hours recharge of sunlight - nothing in the manual about this, I had to google it. So I'll give it another day for full recharge, and if it's not working after that, it's in the bin.

I have g shock and citizen eco drive solar watches. I keep them in a hard waterproof case with no light at all. Recently found out its bad to let them die and all of them did die so i put it on the dash of my car in sunlight. The screen turned black on the g shocks and was really hot so put them in the freezer to cool it down.... how much damage did i cause doing this? Is my watches messed up for life now? The screens went back to normal and function as normal but takes forever to reach full charge and usually stay at medium charge

Činjenica da je sat bio dugo u mraku ne bi trebala značiti ništa loše jer se problem javlja kod satova koji opetovano više puta bivaju ispražnjeni do kraja. Samo ćete trebati biti strpljivi jer će vjerojatno trebati dani da se probudi a vjerojatno tjedni da dođe do značajnog pomaka u nivou napunjenosti.

Distance to the object is important regarding a calculation of lux. Sunlight at the strongest point/time in day is about 120k lux. But that's at a distance of 150 million km's. A very strong LED flashlight prduces the same lux at 1 mm. Full sunlight has a colour temperature between 7000K and 8000K Kelvin. Construction lights have a colourtemp. of 6500k so would be very suitable to charge your watch.

How is the watch now?

So, because I am a nerd and I collect flashlights as an EDC hobby, I can tell you why the flashlight was inconsistent. It’s because lumens, the “output” measures of light emitted from an LED, are fluctuating. They don’t always stay the same, especially the further away you move. Also, 99% of flashlights you can buy as a consumer have what’s called a “step down” feature. This is to prevent overheating the LED, battery and body of the light. So while 2,000 lumens is great and really bright, you might only get that for 30 seconds before the light steps down to maybe 400-600 lumens. So that’s a big reason why flashlights wouldn’t be as effective.

Have you tried this test with uv lights?
