- How does the Eco-Drive movement work?
- A solar cell under the dial charges a rechargeable cell that powers the quartz movement. It charges from sunlight and ordinary indoor light, so it never needs a battery replacement.
- What happens if I keep it in a drawer?
- It can stop when starved of light. Leave it near a window for a day or two and it recharges and runs again; a full charge holds for months in the dark.
- Can I swim with it?
- Treat it as splash-resistant for hand washing and rain. It is not rated for swimming or diving, so take it off for the pool or shower.
- Is 40mm a good size?
- Yes for most wrists. It reads as a standard dress-watch size, sits flat under a cuff and does not look oversized on smaller wrists.
- How does it compare with a mechanical watch?
- It is more accurate and far lower maintenance, since it never needs winding or a battery. A mechanical rival offers a sweeping seconds hand and more prestige, but needs servicing.
