How many times have you reached for a watch in your drawer, only to find that it’s dead? Watch batteries are a pain to replace, too. What if you didn’t have to? What if your watch were solar-powered and reliable enough to count on even when your other watches failed you?
Meet Solios, a trailblazing brand that emerged from the minds of two university friends, Samuel Leroux and Alexandre Desabrais, back in 2018. They envisioned a statement accessory that wouldn’t just be stylish but also planet-friendly.
Together, they worked to create sustainable watches powered by the sun. Traditional watches need battery replacements far too often, a process that can cost $10-$60 each time you need a new one. With Solios you’re not only saving money and time, but you’re also keeping toxic batteries from ending up in landfills.
According to Solios, a single one of their watches can prevent 20 batteries from adding to our planet’s waste. It’s a watch that you’ll love for its style, and cherish for its conscience. And there are plenty of different models to choose from, too.
The Solar Classic is brings together chic design with sustainable tech
Meet the Solar Classic, the original brainchild of Solios that beautifully marries elegance, sustainability, and durability. This watch is proof that you can keep time while keeping the planet in mind.

But what truly sets the Solar Classic apart is its heart - a solar cell. This ingenious feature allows the watch to charge itself under both natural and artificial light, boasting an impressive power reserve of six months. That’s right, no battery replacements. Ever.
The Solar Classic isn’t just about looking good on your wrist, though. It’s about making a real impact. With every watch sold, Solios pledges to restore an acre of rainforest. Your fashion choice could be a part of something bigger - a step towards a healthier planet.
