It’s such a tiny amount it has no impact on power usage. Literally if you are sat in the sun all day you might get 3% battery or so. If you are disconnected from a power source it’s still not going to be much use unless you switch all the features off in which case its just a casio. The only possible advantage is if you are trapped in the wilderness and it goes flat you can get some power in it for a small amount of navigating but again you would have to switch it on and off for tbe solar to power it you couldn’t nav a long time on just solar.

So while they are fun I would say it’s more of a gimmick. Like most solar power items.

In reply to Bob bob. I would imagine that if everyone on the entire planet opted to wear the non-solar version of any one of these devices that the electricity required to charge them could be generated by your two eldest aunties shuffling across a wool rug in their house slippers.

Sorry, how about environmental impact? Using less electricity, even a little, and assume thousands of people use a little less daily, and you’re seeing an actual impact in lower electricity consumption. Further, imagine you’re somehow stuck outdoors or somehow disconnected from an electrical source: you’ll be thankful for solar power.
