To follow up on our recent article where we discuss if solar watches are reliable. We have a list of solar watches from Seiko which we think are a must-get. Otherwise, you are missing out on the best solar watches out there in the market. The order of the watches is sorted from the lowest price.
1. Seiko Men’s Beige Nylon Solar Watch – SNE331
Introducing to you the very first solar watch which I personally own.
One of my all-time favorite for its large indices and featuring stencil-like numerals display. The thick and color contrasting luminous hands go perfectly well on the black dial. Having the calendar and date, plus the technology of solar serves time telling well for me.
Amazingly, it’s been over 4 years and I have yet to change the battery nor adjust the time, yet it is still running smoothly and accurately.
This 43-mm stainless steel case with hardlex dial window will not disappoint you when it comes to durability. It is built for outdoors and harsh environment with a 10 months of power reserve after it is fully-charged.
One thing to note is that this watch only has water resistant of 100 meters (330 ft) and is not suitable for water activities such as scuba-diving.
Comfortability comes well with the soft and yet durable nylon band around your wrist. The buckle closure on the nylon band helps you to wear and remove the watch with ease.
Overall, a perfectly durable and stylish outdoor watch to have at less than $100. No other watch I know can even come close to this price point.
2. Seiko Men’s Two-Toned Stainless Steel Solar Watch – SNE042
A dress watch with a shimmering charcoal dial?
Yes, this is Seiko’s famous 2 toned stainless steel solar watch SNE042. 37mm in size, this watch comes with a shiny stainless steel case with elegant gold finishes on its logo, hands and indices.
My favorite part of this watch is how Seiko is able to mix the shimmering charcoal dial with gold color so seamlessly. Its bracelet features a fold-over clasp with push button control that allows you to wear and remove your watch with ease.
A dress watch of such calibre usually does not come with water-resistant advantages. However, this pretty and elegant looking one comes with 30 meters (99 ft) water resistance. Generally speaking, a water-resistant watch of such level is not suitable to wear for water activities such as swimming. Allowing brief immersion in water and brief splashes at best.
