- Does this watch really never need a battery?
- Yes. Eco-Drive charges from light through a solar cell, so there is no battery to replace. Keep it exposed to light and it keeps running.
- Can I swim with it?
- Yes. It is rated to 100 meters, which covers swimming and showering. Avoid pressing the crown underwater and skip high-impact water sports.
- Is $130 a good price?
- It is the best new price among 5 stores as of November 6, 2026. That is a fair deal for a sapphire-crystal Eco-Drive on a steel bracelet.
- What size is the case?
- The case is 42mm across, round, in stainless steel. That wears large on slim wrists, so try one on if you are used to 38mm or smaller.
- What is in the box?
- You get the watch on its steel bracelet with a fold-over clasp. Check the listing for a manual and warranty card, since box contents vary by seller.
- How does it compare with a standard quartz watch?
- It skips battery changes and adds sapphire glass, which most sub-$150 quartz watches lack. You give up nothing in accuracy, since Eco-Drive is still quartz-regulated.
