FANMISFANMIS Men's Solar Powered Casual Quartz Wrist Watch Analog Digital Multifunctional Black Sports Watch (Black)

There's a bit of a learning curve to the operation (turning the alarm and hourly chime on/off requires a "two-button boogie") that's mentioned in some of the reviews, but it's really not a big deal once you've done it once or twice, and probably necessary to vary some of the operations in order not to step on anyone's patents and such. Fair enough. It's unclear to me the extent of the solar charging of this watch; it does show two battery codes on the back, one of which (2016) is the 5- or 7-year baby, the other (626) just a run-of-the-mill 2-year-or-so cell. If the solar portion just decreases drain on the batteries, we're in for l-o-n-g battery lives. If it doesn't add to battery life (maybe it's just meant to kick in if your batteries go dead while you're on expedition somewhere), the watch still stands on its own for comfort and style points. The medium case size (roughly a 43mm) - large enough to be contemporary but not outrageous, with no "wings" or protrusions, and the pseudo dive strap with a single, wide strap keeper (I hate two narrow keepers - you always seem to be "chasing" them), give the watch the overall feel (light, like most resin watches, but still with enough "heft" so it doesn't feel like you're wearing a paper watch - as some do - and presentation of an old school dive watch. (Divers actually use dive computers nowadays, which, ironically, look like modern digital watches - we've come full circle - form follows function, folks.) Light, comfortable, legible, attractive . . . all for twenty bucks. Very cool!

The analog display is accurate to within 1 second per week while the digital display is accurate to within 5 seconds per week. The digital display has a back light while the analog hands are luminescent. This watch works primarily from the standard watch battery (not rechargeable) and uses the solar panel when adequate light is available (as far as I can tell). So, solar power is the secondary energy source which would theoretically extend the standard battery life beyond that of a conventional digital watch. Only time will tell. There is also a stopwatch function that goes on for hours and one alarm setting. There is also a setting for an hourly chirp. The watch also displays the day of the week and with a press of a button one can see the month and day. This is a good watch for less than $20.

This is a great watch for such a low price.

I got 2 of these one for husband and one for myself (Style has both analog and digital). They came yesterday and I wore mine all day. Since it is so new, I haven't had much time to play with the timers. The instructions aren't that clear (or maybe I'm just OLD?). But I got the time set without too much trouble. It has held the correct time (both analog and digital) for 24 hours. Comfortable to wear, looks nice. Good features. On the hour there is a soft beep. Hubby just set his and will wear it today. If there is any problem, I will come back and edit this. So far I am happy with this purchase and would recommend it.

Had this for two years and I was very enthusiastic about it. However, it died recently and decided to see what's inside.I actually found that it has a miniature solar panel, but it also has two regular batteries, one big, flat 3 Volts, Maxell CR2016, and one little Maxell SR626SW underneath, I think it is a LR44. There are no rechargeable batteries, so it's not a real solar watch. It is unclear when it runs on solar, maybe outside, but most use is usually indoors, so this is not the smartest design.The 3 volt one was still functional while the other was dead. As an educated guess, probably for the designers it was cheaper to use a regular battery for backup and rely on solar only when outside. It's an arguable design to me, since a single 3V CR2016 would have lasted longer and would have been simpler to produce or service. It is well built but hard to take apart to service.There is a solar cell, putting out up to 5 Volts under a LED desk lamp, which is good under intense light, but at normal ambient light it it barely puts out 0.7 Volts. The current indoor is zero, so this is useless to power a watch, maybe under intense sunlight. The brand and model says VIMUN SC2813-8 A3/2.This is not looking easy to service, too many parts and little screws to take out. Plus the big flat 3 Volt is at the top, then you have to remove that to get underneath for the other smaller battery. Double work.Would have been a simpler design to use a rechargeable battery and a charging regulator instead of two batteries plus a solar cell. It would have also been a real solar watch in that case.Overall, I'd give it 3 stars because of the batteries. It is reasonably cheap to replace but no different than any other battery powered watch.

What I wanted. Fair price. Had to look on line to figure out how to set days of the week.

Exactly as described and pictured - So far every element functions as it is supposed toThe alarm is not very loud so I would not depend on it to wake me up, but it is very useful as a reminderThose that complain about not being able to set watch are obviously technologically challenged or do not understand sequential logic - If this is you the settings may be too complicatedThis watch is of course plastic and not intended to be a fine heirloom timepiece - it is intended as a daily wearable watch that is conveniently solar powered - Do not expect more and you will not be disappointedHave noticed that the analog and digital seconds are getting out of synch by about 1 second a day = no biggieHaven't gone swimming with it yet, but so far no problem with hand washingVery light weight and comfortable to wear even though the look is rather bulkySeems to stay solar charged with normal everyday wear.Snooze feature of alarm is a bonusOverall happy with purchase
