Citizen has a line of watches known as the Eco-Drive series that are constantly recharged by light which means you never have to wind them or replace the battery. The XKD Solar Powered Watch pictured here does pretty much the same thing, except that while the Eco-Drive watches manage to cleverly hide the solar cell as part of the watch face, the XKD looks like someone has salvaged the cells from an old solar powered calculator and simply slapped them onto a basic digital watch. So if you’re sick and exhausted of having to replace the battery on your watch each 7 or 8 years, and don’t care what it looks like, then you’ll be happy to hear that the XKD model can be picked up from Gadget4all.com for just $17.
