Does it really never need a battery?

Yes. Eco-Drive charges from any light source, natural or artificial, and stores the power in a capacitor instead of a battery. Keep it out of a drawer for long stretches so it stays charged.

Is it safe to swim in?

It is rated to 100m, which covers swimming and showering. Avoid pressing the pushers underwater and skip high-impact water sports and diving.

What do the three sub-dials show?

They show running seconds, 24-hour time, and day and date. That gives you more information than a standard three-hand watch.

How does it compare with a plain dress watch?

It adds day, date and 24-hour functions and solar charging that a simple three-hander lacks. The trade-off is a busier dial that takes a moment longer to read.

What size is the case?

The case is 40mm across in gold-tone stainless steel. That wears large on slim wrists and comfortably on average to larger ones.

Is the strap leather?

Yes, it comes on a brown leather strap. Leather wears faster than a bracelet with daily use, so expect to replace it eventually.
