Each year on 22 April, Earth Day offers a timely reminder of our responsibility to care for the environment. What began in 1970 as a grassroots protest in the United States has since evolved into a global environmental movement observed by over a billion people. It's a moment not only for reflection but for action; a day to ask ourselves how we can reduce our impact and live more sustainably—right down to the items we wear.
One such everyday item undergoing a sustainable revolution is the wristwatch. Traditional quartz watches rely on disposable batteries; these need replacing every couple of years and often end up in landfill. In contrast, solar-powered watches—like the exceptional Kennett Solaxplorer offer a cleaner, more responsible alternative.

The Sustainable Edge of Solar Timekeeping
Solar watches utilise photovoltaic cells to convert both natural and artificial light into energy; this is then stored in a rechargeable battery that can last for decades. This reduces battery waste significantly and cuts down on the resources needed for constant replacements.
The Kennett Solaxplorer is a standout in this growing field, merging eco-conscious technology with British design sensibility. Crafted for adventurers and professionals alike, the Solaxplorer is more than just sustainable—it’s stylish and built to endure.
