Is the Perry Ellis solar watch worth it?

It is a reasonable pick if you want an analog dress watch that never needs a battery swap. At 42mm with a leather strap, it competes with quartz watches in the same price band.

How does the solar charging work?

A solar cell under the dial converts light into power and stores it in a rechargeable cell. Regular daylight exposure keeps it running; a drawer for weeks can let it stop.

The listing only says water resistant, with no depth rating. Treat it as splash-proof and take it off for swimming and showers.

What size is the case?

The case is 42mm across, a mid-size that fits most men's wrists. The leather strap is the other fit factor to check.

What comes in the box?

Expect the watch and its leather strap. The listing does not confirm a manual, gift box or extra strap.

Watch prices dip during holiday sales and end-of-season clearance. Check the price history before buying.

Our take on the Perry Ellis Men's Solar Powered Leather Watch

The Perry Ellis Solar Powered Leather Watch is a 42mm analog men's watch with a solar movement and a leather strap. The solar cell charges from light, so you skip battery swaps. It is rated water resistant, though the listing gives no depth rating. It is a dress-casual piece at a modest price rather than a sports watch.
