I just can’t stand having to buy another battery, thank goodness for this watch!
boiler –can go scuba diving
Besides the fact that it’s a ‘great looking’ timepiece, I love the Boiler because it’s solar-powered and features night-vision!How ‘awesome’ is that?! Please, include me in your giveaway drawing! Thanks and good luck to all!
I’d love a chance to win the Boiler! The fact that it’s so environmentally friendly and economical is appealing to me, and I’m especially interested in its water resistance, backlight, and alarm features because I’m planning a sailing trip with friends later this year and would really find those features extremely useful while on the water!
Just in time for the Time Change!
it’s great that it’s solar and I like the look
Such a cool watch. I am doing all that I can to go green now I can do more with a great watch. Lots of sun in AZ so no issues keeping it charged :0) I so hope to win.
What a great watch. I love that it is solar, water resistant and that it has night vision!
No more environmentally hazardous batteries — and very classy style.
Great watch!
I love how contemporary they are…they look awesome!!!!
This is so cool looking. It’s ideal as I have
limited mobility in my hands-no winding.
Yipppppeeeeeeeeeeee!
LET THE SUN SHINE IN!
I love the fact that the charge lasts for one whole year. I also love how large the numbers are so that I can read the time while I am mountain biking.
This watch is so cool. I would love to give this to my grandson.
What a wonderful watch! An entire year on one charge is great. The large face and display are also a wonderful features. I, being a 70′s child, have long awaited the advent of such green technology. We only have one home, the earth and it is about time we started taking better care of it. I would love to have a watch such as this.
I love the Broiler because it is an easy way to avoid using batteries & thereby being just a tad more green. I suits your lifestyle perfectly because I can use it at the NASCAR races where there is always enough sun to power solar devices.
It’s not environmentally hazardous, and I am someone who lives life trying to conserve :)
great
Cool watch! Thanks for the giveaway!
I like the Boiler because it is solar powered. It suits my lifestyle because I don’t have to worry about installing/replacing watch batteries.
like that it’s a cool looking watch but also eco friendly…sometimes the two aren’t in sync!
A solar watch!! Great idea. Please enter me.
No batteries? I love that. I would love to own a “green” watch. :)
Cool it has night vision, too! How great- an eco friendly wrist watch!
The Boiler (especially in black) would make the perfect gift for my eco-minded husband. The nightvision backlight, alarm and timer are a brilliant blend of form and function. The long lasting (up to a year!) solar charge – is well – WOW!
I want to be on the cutting edge of eco-friendly environment with this cool solar timepiece. I want it. I want it. Did I say, I want it?
I go through a lot of watch batteries, so the Boiler would be a great watch for me.
wow! Now THIS is a different unique prize! Love this.
It fits my “green” style perfectly
Thanks for the chance :)
“…eliminates the hassle and waste of buying and disposing watch batteries.” That’s exactly what I’m looking for in a watch – and the other features are like bonuses. :)
this thing looks trendy as heck, i must have it! it would fit into my lifestyle because of all the oooos and aaaahhhhs i would get!
What a great idea.
I love the green idea behind this watch and the fact that it has a solar cell charged battery capable of 12-months power on one single charge is good news also. Thanks for this chance.
I love that it’s solar powered and can go for so long on one charge (since I’m a night person)
I am so impressed that it never needs batteries. Pretty sunny where I live most of the year. Solar power sure comes in handy.
I have not had a watch in over 6 months! This would be awesome.
I always get them wet or the batteries go out!
Very cool. (We have solar panels on our house – this way, I could have one on my wrist.)
i love that it is solar powered
I run or walk on a daily basis, and it’s usually sunny around here. That means I have a watch for life, I guess. Solar power rocks! :-)
That’s really amazing! I like that it has 12 Months Of Power On Single Charge. I’m trying to go green, but that usually means more work. It would be nice to have something easy for a change.
This would be a perfect gift for my husband…its not pretty enough for me! He would appreciate the solar power and the fact that it is water proof. Thanks for the giveaway.
What a great idea.
Nice watch,I love the fact it is solar.Please
enter me and thanks for the giveaway
WOW…deeply cool watch! I just love watches…the more unusual the better!
As a meteorology major who focuses on the environment and what we can do to protect it, I am all about products that are solar powered. Not to mentioned the watch would nicely complement most of my clothing.
That Boiler (in black) would make a great gift for my son. Love that it’s eco friendly, green and water resistant.
Awesome :)
Thanks for offering this contest. Hope we win.
Wish I saw this contest sooner, well done to the winner. They are really nice watches and not having to replace the battery is brilliant.
