Citizen Eco Drive black ion-plated watch

Citizen Eco Drive black ion-plated watch

It's solar powered and it still looks cool.

This item is as stylish as it is green. And okay, a watch isn’t exactly a household gadget, but you wear it in your house so that’s close enough! The Eco Drive is the latest in Citizen's long-running series of solar-powered watches. In addition to the handsome stainless steel build quality it also boasts a discrete solar cell under the face, so you'll never need a new battery.

Pros

The use of less watch batteries is good for the planet and will save you money as you won’t have to replace it, or buy a whole new watch (unless you break it!). It is also very stylish.

Cons

It’s not cheap

Energy saved

This watch will mean the manufacture and use of less batteries; which is a good thing for the environment.
