This eliminates the need for battery replacements and makes it an environmentally sustainable choice.
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming and water sports?
A: Yes, with 100 metres of water resistance, the Concept One Solargraph is suitable for swimming, snorkelling, and recreational water activities. However, it is not recommended for diving or high-impact water sports. Always ensure the crown is properly secured before water exposure.
Q: How often do I need to expose the watch to light?
A: Regular daily exposure to indoor or outdoor light is sufficient to keep the watch fully charged. If worn regularly, the watch will maintain its charge through normal light exposure. If stored in darkness for extended periods, simply place it near a window or under a lamp for several hours to recharge.
