Found out something new myself based on this little exchange between us, I wouldn't have looked up the wiki otherwise. Pretty cool that they estimate they've saved over 10 million watch batteries from hitting a landfill. Makes me like the watch even more. There's no reason this shouldn't be standard tech for any watch over like $100. Not like the high end, super accurate, luxury watches, but you know what I mean
That is so awesome! It's amazing how far analog watch tech has advanced!
Believe it or not the tech's been around for almost 30 years. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eco-Drive
Mind blown!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯
