: How did watches work before batteries?
In: 3
They are not as expensive as some let on. Some of the luxury brands can get up there of course. But an antique store find will get you a decent ’60s-90s watch for under $100 that just needs a bit of TLC. I rotate between my mechanical and the newer ways of ‘how watches work without batteries’, a Casio Eco drive. The Eco Drive uses light/power cells. Had the current one for 5 years and still tickin. Timex has a ‘solar power’ expedition north watch in the pipeline as well.
