Product Information
Full details
The STORM Solaron Watch is designed for style-conscious individuals who value sustainability and low-maintenance functionality, offering a modern aesthetic powered entirely by light. Its primary benefit is the eco-friendly solar movement, which eliminates the need for periodic battery replacements while maintaining a sleek, contemporary look. A minor caveat is that the 50-meter water resistance rating is suitable for everyday wear and light splashes, but it is not intended for swimming, diving, or heavy water submersion.

FAQs
Does this watch require a battery?
No, it uses solar movement which charges via any light source, eliminating the need for battery changes.
Can I wear this watch while swimming?
No. While it has a 50-meter water resistance rating, it is only intended for light splashes and everyday wear, not for swimming or water sports.
How large is the watch case?
The watch features a 43mm case, which provides a modern, bold aesthetic.
What should I do if I keep my watch in a dark box?
If you don't plan to wear the watch for a while, leave it in a room with ambient light rather than a dark drawer to ensure it stays charged.
Is the watch suitable for night time reading?
Yes, the watch features luminous hands, which are designed to glow in low-light conditions after exposure to light.
What is the warranty on this watch?
Please refer to your purchase documentation or the official STORM website for specific warranty details related to your region.
Troubleshooting
Watch has stopped moving
The solar cell likely needs a charge. Place the watch in direct sunlight or under a strong light source for at least 8-12 hours.
Time is running slow
This often occurs when the power reserve is low. Ensure the watch receives regular exposure to light to keep the capacitor charged.
Luminous hands are not glowing
Luminous material requires 'charging' by exposure to bright light; if they appear dim, expose the watch face to direct light for a few minutes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the STORM Solaron, simply expose the watch face to a light source for several hours to ensure the solar cell is fully initialized. Because this is a solar-powered watch, avoid storing it in complete darkness for long periods. If the watch stops, placing it under a bright lamp or in direct sunlight for a day will typically restore full function. To maintain the appearance, clean the watch periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Ensure the crown is pushed in completely to maintain the water-resistant seal during daily use. Although rated for 50 meters, avoid wearing the watch while showering or bathing, as hot water and soap can compromise the seals over time.
