CoolFire USB Solar Watch Charger Overview
Thoughts on this USB Powered Solar Watch Charger. It does a good job at quickly charging your solar movement watches no matter the weather outside, however it's something I didn't really need to buy and I find I rarely use it. It does have high ratings on Amazon though.

Great review. Good product. I'll always be able to depend on it. I'd rather have it and NOT need it than to need it and NOT HAVE it. Peace of mind is everything. It's a great product to help charge your solar watches fast.
I'm in Scotland, so useful for me. TY

Interesting, was considering making an auto-charger device to keep my watch "topped up" - thx for the info!
I have one and it works far better than I thought it would. I have 9 solar watches.
Thanks for this.. I bought a Coolfire watch some years ago (2019) off Amazon and they sold an LED booster at the same time but nothing like this in your video. it is just a slim black disc with LEDs .. rather like a large 44mm diameter coin 7mm thick.. it plugs into a USB port too. I put it in a drawer and forgot it.. LOL.. We are not known for all day sun in England but I just got into the habit of leaving the watch in a brightest part of the house when not wearing it.... I just dug the booster out and giving the watch a boost. the battery signal always appears to be charged the way I have used it till now.
You answered my question in the first minute.
I don't have issues sunny all year round 😅
I live in Việt Nam where have sunlight all day in year,i put my solar watch on the rooftop, and it will have a fylly charge in 5 hours
Thanks for video. I work nights so my watch never sees the sun. The watch as been dead for about 4 years now so going to get this and give it a try

I just used my LED camping lamp plugged into USB power and charged 4 watches at once, seems to work so I'll hold off buying this as I just needed to top off my watches in the winter months maybe a couple times or less, seems expensive 35+10 shipping. If this was mass produced in China, it'll be like $15 tops with all the LED and USBs readily available in that country, the chassis would be the only unique piece to produce. Great device though I almost bought one just bad price. Great review none the less.

Thanks ! Yeah I agree with you that it doesn't seem like it should cost so much. There are a lot of much cheaper usb powered LED products out there that could be used to sort of do that same thing

If this charger is too high priced for you, Why not try the one I have on my desk connected to an Anker Type A to C cable on my powered hub; the Eceen ECE 004 solar watch charger with 2 levels of star-like lux potency (20k, low, 40k, high, switches off after 8 hours(while the Cool Fire stays on), has a third charging stand for square bezeled displays (the Cool Fire only has two), only gets as warm as 89°F on low vs. 103° F on high. And for most peeps, it does just as good a job as the Coolfire & it's merely $15@Amazon Strike while the Union's 🥵!
It's better to have & not need than need & not have one of these watch chargers, especially on cloudy or rainy days as well as long winter nights!
I’m not getting the charger but I did just order a watch case similar to yours. I have a collection of eco drives that would be perfect
On a related note, I’d love a review of the nighthawk!

Thank you
I paid over £40 for this from Amazon,I think a realistic price would be around £15,it’s a tacky plastic Chinese mass produced gimmicky piece of kit,but to keep your watches topped off it has its uses,but I do agree with the video saying about high powered torches for a quarter of the price would do the same job,but I’ve got it now,so may as well use it.

Hello watchify, did you ever tryed a UV-Flashight expl. Nitecore Tube UV ? They have 365 nm wavelength, maybe that work also. And that lights are usealble also for other things. Its only an idea....😊😊😊

No. Too late. I didn't know about that before I bought this. I have a uv flashlight but not rechargeable
It will heat your watch up. Not by that much. If I leave my on the charger for two hours, it’s faintly warm. I usually only use it for a couple of hours. I’m into watches so…
It works well on cloudy days.

I had one and the LEDs started to fail quite quickly. I switched to using a video light (LED), which was more effective, although it also cost more. The Coolfire is poorly made in my opinion.

Ok - so far mine has been holding up. I'll admit it doesn't get heavy use though
Can we put screen protector to solar watches ?

Indications are yes but may negatively impact charging time.
Unbelievably overpriced. A standard multi-LED torch placed on top of the watch will do the same for less than half the cost. No heat either.

Sofirn SC18 from AE. $10 on 11/11 sale. Works from usb-c without battery
I suppose it would be good if you lived somewhere where you don't get a lot of sun, but I think it might be a bit of a gimmick. Appreciate showing something different though.

This reminds me of the canned air in “Spaceballs” for some reasons. Just so pointless, it’s ridiculous.
