The Ice Watch Solar watches draw their energy from light, so you do not have to change the battery regularly. Our range includes women's, men's and unisex models, all rated 5 atm. We are an official Ice Watch dealer: we deliver the watch to your home with the manufacturer warranty, and our own service will also check the water resistance should it ever be needed.
How does a solar Ice Watch work?
Under the dial of a solar watch there is a solar cell that turns any light, sunlight and lamplight alike, into electrical energy and stores it in a rechargeable battery. That is why a solar watch keeps running even if you forget it in a drawer for a few days. If it does stop, put it on a windowsill for a day.
What should you know when buying a solar watch?
- It needs light: if a long-sleeved sweater always covers it, leave it in a bright place from time to time.
- Water resistance: Solar models are rated 5 atm, so they cope with rain and hand washing, but should come off for swimming.
- Who to give it to: someone who hates going for battery changes, or who is looking for a more environmentally conscious option.
Women's, men's or unisex Solar?
The women's, men's and unisex versions cover three different needs: the women's piece is smaller, the men's is sportier, and the unisex suits anyone. If none of them is quite right, you can browse the brand's other collections among the Ice Watch watches.
Warranty and service
As an official Ice Watch dealer, we provide the manufacturer warranty with every Solar watch. The rechargeable battery lasts for years, and if it ever needs replacing, our own service takes care of it, just like a strap change or a water resistance check. The light case of the Solar is also easy to see in the product photos: compare its size with your wrist circumference.
Solar Ice Watch – frequently asked questions
Do you need to change the battery in an Ice Watch Solar?
No regular battery changes are needed, because the solar cell charges the watch's battery from light. It is enough for the watch to get light while you wear it.
How long does an Ice Watch Solar run without light?
With a fully charged battery it keeps running for several days in the dark, for example in a drawer. With regular wear, daily light is more than enough to charge it.
What should I do if the solar watch stops?
Put it in a bright place for a day or two, such as a windowsill, and it usually restarts on its own. If not, contact our service and we will take a look.
