SISTEM51 is 100 percent Swiss made and features an exceptional 90 hour power reserve.

The Economist says the real innovation is in "old-fashioned" mechanical watches... not in quartz watches and not in "smart" watches which are not very innovative -- "most are a mash-up of phone, activity-tracker and music-player".

SmileSolar by Q&Q
Q&Q, a low-end watch making subsidiary of Japan's Citizen Watch, Co. Ltd, launches a new line of super affordable solar powered watches.
In fact the collection was launched some time ago.
Some have suggested that it is supposed to compete with Swatch if not to kill it outright ))) showing the true value of their watches.
Bright, colorful, cheerful and plastic-y... cheep too.
