Solar Watch Is Echo Friendly Too

Other than harnessing power directly from the sun, the Solar Watch has additional features that might attract nature lovers. The watch comes with five straps of different colors that are made using yarn spun derived from 16 plastic bottles. This means, less plastic bottles getting into landfills or oceans.

The company has gone a step further to make the package of the Solar Watch from the bio-based plastic case made from environmentally-friendly castor oil. The company claims to make 100 percent of its using pro-planet criteria (using sustainable and recyclable materials) and the Solar Watch is the begging of this journey.
