Solar Digital Atomic Watch

In my previous blog posts, I provided interesting information on Atomic Digital Watches and the Casio G Shock Brand. I would know like to take a moment out and provide a brief look at solar digital atomic watches and have a look at how they work.

So what is a solar digital atomic watch, I hear you ask? When we say a watch is solar powered it is implied that the digital watch absorbs light radiation from the sun and stores it. With the addition of atomic, we typically assume accurate time synchronization with a number of atomic time transmitters located around the world. If this is new to you, go back and read my post on atomic digital watches.

Solar powered watches a not new. They have been around years. They were typically inexpensive and for some reason the technology found its way into many kids toys i.e. GI Joe, Transformers watches (before going main stream with well known/ branded manufacturers). Many main stream watch manufacturers have implemented the technology into their products, some of which are still in the process of adding the solar technology. Citizen's watches use lithium-ion rechargeable cell to store sufficient energy to power the watch for several months/years of darkness

You will be quite astounded at the amount of energy that can be absorbed with the likes of a simple solar panel over time. Light rays are continuous and cumulative. Overtime, the energy will undoubtedly build up. I was reading an article last week which detailed the benefits of solar power to the average household. Adding a solar plate to the roof of your house would actually provide you with enough energy to heat water for relatively hot showers.

In my opinion, in the future, we will see large scale deployment of solar technology. Solar technology in watches has become very popular.
