Two of the things I hate about watches is having to replace batteries (which are expensive) and needing to ensure the date and time are correct every month or so.

Finally there’s now a watch that solves both problems, namely the Worldwide Atomic Solar Watch.

The watch features a solar panel which charges the internal battery. When the internal battery is fully charged, the battery will run for up to 7 months without being charged again!

The other great feature is that the watch is able to tune into up to 6 different atomic clock transmissions. This means the watch can automatically correct itself to the right time if you’re in or near the U.S., UK, Germany, Japan or China. This means no more late appointments or meetings (unless something other than your watch goes wrong). The watch automatically adjusts for daylight savings times, so you don’t need to worry about adjusting the watch when the clocks change either.

The watch also has a stopwatch feature and it’s water-resistant to a depth of around 150 to 200 meters under water. The watch is available for $159.95, which is not cheap, but certainly in the realms of affordability.
