Time won’t stand still! The whole analogue versus digital watch thing is just another one of those things the internet fuels and propagates. Truth is, you don’t have to pick a side. You can like both. You can wear both. You can even wear both at the same time. Two wrists and plenty of space between the elbow and the wrist 🙂

Okay silliness aside, if you are looking for a tough-looking solar-powered (I love the idea of not having to change batteries and not having to recharge a watch; it just works!) watch, the new condition Casio Men’s EQS500DB-1A1, part of the Edifice Tough Solar stainless steel series is on sale for $165 with free shipping with a maximum of three per customer at the sale price by Amazon actual. This is not a lightning deal, so expiration time unknown.

It has three dials and apparently can survive cloudly winters – the specs say that a full charge can keep it powered for five months without additional exposure to light. It averages 4 out of 5 based on 260+ customer reviews.

I’ve been using a solar-powered entry-level watch for a few years now. I just wear it when I’m outside and it has never run out of power. I haven’t visited the cornerstore watch guy for a new battery since then!

But I have also been “cheating” on it with a Fossil Q smartwatch 🙂
