Pulsar attempted to produce watches with solar technology, but they did not have the same quality.

There is also another type of battery free watch put out by Seiko. These are called Kinetic watches. They were introduced while the late 1980s, in Germany. They are now sought after by citizen all over the world. It will never need batteries because of innovative technology that allows it to be powered by the movement of the wearer. The technology is so industrialized that Seiko holds over 50 patents on it.

The watch contains small capacitors that the generator charges. These capacitors can store up to 6 months of power to keep the watch running even if the wearer takes it off. The watch has a pendulum that rotates. The pendulum is linked to a large gear and the gear is meshed with a small pinion. Movement from the wearer causes the pendulum to turn which in turn makes the pinion spin. The high speed that the pinion turns at, really powers a tiny generator, which in turn charges the capacitors.

The Kinetic watches also offer a feature called the Kinetic Auto Relay. This feature saves power by causing the watch to "sleep", if it doesn't sense movement for over 72 hours. Other features comprise a perpetual colander that is precise until 2100.

The next time you're in the store for a new watch, think one these new innovations. They're stylish, low maintenance and friendly to the environment.
