Comment on In the not too distant past this was a thing
vorpuni@jlai.lu 6 days agoThe plain old digital ones with solar + radio time syncing are the best tool watches on the market in my opinion : set and forget, it even does DST automatically. The only limitation is you have to be outside during the day with the watch exposed a few hours a month or cheat with other light sources.

You really don’t. Maybe other watches use more power but I left my gshock in a drawer for months, maybe even a year and when I took it out the battery was at “M.” Put it on a window sill and it was at H in no time. Haven’t actually seen it in years and I wouldn’t be surprised if it was still alive.

Mine turns off in the dark so that may help. I based my remarks off the manual. Good to know they’re pessimistic.
