Review on Sustainable Bio-Plastic and Recycled Nylon Solar Watch - One Eleven SWII Casual by Christine Pochmara

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fun colors, light and comfortable

I bought this as a gift for my daughter. I have the same watch in orange and I really like it so I bought her another one. I have some very good watches. Thought of taking it to someone to have the batteries changed but a very good Swiss watch was destroyed by a local jeweler. I also don't want to have them all fixed at once and watch them drain at the same time. Not being a fan of throwaway culture, I have tried many times to find watches that last. I bought a Seiko machine. This lasted 3 months. I bought some burghers for me and my husband. Everything worked for him, never for me. One Eleven has been working flawlessly since I bought it about 6 months ago. It hasn't gotten much sun or used much since I got home, but it's still working after a day in my garden. It started to slow down a bit, so I put it under a reading light for a few minutes and it worked fine again. It is easy to install and easy to carry, lightweight and convenient. It's also very well done. One Eleven is a Fossil company. I personally like them better than the limited edition sundial because while their straps are colorful and eco-friendly, I've read reviews that say they're very scratchy. It is not so. They are made of silicone and are very comfortable to wear. I just wish they made more colorful watches. It was the last one in stock when I bought it for my daughter. At the moment we both have everything ready and I bought it hoping it would last longer than the others. SAO far they have. I like this line a lot. It's fun, functional, comfortable, and performs better than any environmental watch I've ever owned.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Makes me worried
