I have 30 year old G-Shock Tough Solar still working on original batteries. Casio makes by far the best solar watches.

Casio have probably the widest range of solar watches. Seiko and Citizen are runners up by comparison.

A casio solar combined with multi band 6/wave ceptor is the goat of grab and go quartz.

Interesting intro to these watches. I’d add Casio into the viable Solar option. Either G-Shock or the Lineage collections offer some remarkable, value-driven watches.

My Bertucci A-3PS Solar Field Watch #13800 arrived in short order today. Thanks Marc, this watch is amazing.

You can get a titanium Casio. With saphire, solar and radio controlled, for under $250. 😁 But this one is nice too 👍

I haven't bought a watch in awhile but that titanium has everything I need. 24 hour numbers, screw down crown & solar. You keep coming out with stuff I gotta have.

This is easily your best thumbnail by far, haha. I'm always biased towards Citizen Eco-Drive, it was my very first expensive watch ($250 with a Kohl's coupon!) that my parents got for me in college.

No mention of g shock solar surprised me in intro

Casio

I prefer the longer handsets on the polymer version. Lume also seems to be stronger as well.

As many have mentioned CASIO make quality solar watches......even with titanium (and the money on titanium is also the band (light weight and durable)...)

Citizen eco-drive is good stuff. Love Casio tough solar as well!

Dang, and here I thought this would be a solar Islander announcement, and you were crowning yourself King

There will be a lot of Casio and G-Shock fans chiming in on this video 😅 G-Shocks provide shock resistance, 200m water resistance, some models offer solar, multi-band 6, Bluetooth for accuracy and are light weight too. Citizen is also popular with their eco-drive lines 👍

Good segment, but as others have said Casio has been in the solar game for a very long time. There are many other options out there as well. Thanks Marc. Love Bertucci, I have two from you already.

Casio has "tough solar"

When I first heard of Bertucci I thought: "It's only missing solar." - et voilá. That titanium piece is the perfect field watch. I'd still get an automatic Boldr Venture, because I'm a sentimental moron, but I do have several purely functional watches (Casio GW-M5610U and F-105W) and I love when I can put them on and do *stuff.*

Casio?

Casio also has solars.

When is an Islander solar watch coming out?? Spill the beans here!! Lol

I have two bertucci's that I bought from Long Island watch! And they're both a part of my regular rotation! Great value for the money!

I love solar watches. Perfect put on and go watch. Always works. Most accurate.

Casio normal/gshock has this covered

I purchased one of the A-2T Solar Classic Titanium Field Watches with Brown Leather Strap #12803 the day (literally the minute) I got the email from Bertucci. Sorry Marc, I would have bought it from you if I knew you would have the Bertucci solar watches so soon. I have a number of Bertucci quartz watches and even the Bertucci automatic version with a Miyota 9 series movement. Bertucci quality is exceptional, and I agree, their bands are superb. This includes both their nylon and Horween leather bands. If you like field watches, and if you do not have a Bertucci, buy one! I am extremely pleased with all of mine, and the new solar and leather band are at the top of the heap. I do love manual/automatic watches, but solar really pretty much checks all the watch boxes. Reliability, long life, accuracy, low (no?) maintenance!

I have one Citizen Echo Drive dress watch that is about 20 years old and it still runs. Never had it serviced. I have several Casio solars that are a lot less money than these including Gshock solar Bluetooth watches for a lot less. Ranges from 45 dollars to 159.00

The black one on the green NATO is superb.

Casio is king when it comes to solar. My ten year old watch still working properly with no maintenance done to it. People who buy these expensive watches don't buy them to see the time but to collect or to admire the craftsmanship. Which I do love. But if you want an indestructible watch that will never fail you, only Casio can 😉

In Amazon Spain you can get a solar Citizen made out of titanium with a sapphire glass for €157 (about $167), but these Bertuccis do look good

I guess people are starting to see the light? Hahahaha! I'll see myself out! 😂🤣

I love my Casio Tough Solar with Multi Band 6. My next watch will probably be a Casio G Shock with the same features.

I really like both, especially the Titanium version. BUT, I wish the Ti version had the same hands as the plastic/resin case. The hands are bigger and more legible AND the minute hand touches the tip of the minute markers, so very easy to tell the EXACT time as well 🙏✌️👍😀 As always, great video Mark!!! And I agree, I have a lot of solar watches, but I definitely have the most from my G-Shock collection. Tough Solar is their standard system and I won't buy anymore G-Shock's without it (except for the 2100 lineup). I wish Casio would release a Solar/Bluetooth GMA-S2100 lineup like the did with the GA-B2100 replicating the original GA-2100 CasiOak's 😢

Great new additions to the Bertucci line. I have two Bertucci’s and love them. Thanks Marc. Have a great day!

And, the real King of Solar is Casio Oceanus!❤

Wow, so basically, instead of a garbage SwatchPain, people can buy two ultra reliable solar Bertucci's 👍🏻😃

I’ve gone to only wearing solar Gs. Preferably with Bluetooth. No fiddling around with the crown anymore. Just link up once in a long while and bam! Accurate.

It's one thing to miss every 60 mark, but to miss every 5 index as well with the second hand?!? OUCH! High accuracy applies to position as well as time.

I just ordered mine from LIW. Can't wait to get it.

Don't forget Momentum watches. Probably the best deal for solar titanium. I love what Bertucci is doing though!

I love solar and I love Titanium! It's a perfect combination.

I been scouting for the A-2T with sapphire glass on their website for very long. But no response from their customer service. Glad that Marc are bringing these awesome spec watches. On my way grabbing one.

VAER has some great options too. With Sapphire Crystal.

I’ve got an old Junghans SolarTek that is still running strong, as well as a few Seikos and Eco-drives and a solar Neo70s panda. I’m a fan of solar watches!

Great Video ! Was looking at the A-2T watch... But a crystal watch with Solar is GREAT ! Now if you can have Titanium with Tritium along with the Solar for a low price would be great... Think the Solar may use a Capacitor and not a battery... Hope the Capacitor does not leak. tjl

How accurate is the movement?

That thumbnail is awesome.

Marc, are you able to source solar watch components which have a perpetual calendar, or are those only available inside Seiko (i.e Astron) and Citizen (I.e. Attesa)? If so, I’d love to see you develop a solar line.

I bought the Arnie from you Mark. Solar power is cool. Set it and forget it, for a couple years.

Thanks for sharing Marc. Bertucci make fantastic watches. Having a solar option on a titanium case … at that price?!? 😮 The ARE doing something right. (I have 4 of them 😁👍🏼)

I bought the Cartier Solarbeat because it was solar. Something about the fact that it's the first time Cartier did solar just mesmerized me

I can't stop laughing at your thumbnail

Gardeners!?! 😂 Do you have one for Chief Cook and Bottle Washers? 🤣

Finally some competition for solar G-Shocks

I read somewhere early citizen eco-drive using capacitor it's has less power reserve only for few days up to weeks but crazy long lifespan as long it's well protected from moisture and and extreme temperature so there is citizen eco-drive that already 20+ years but never need capacitor change. but today most of the solar watch using lithium which has up to 10 month power reserve but has shorter lifespan due to limited charge cycle probably up to 8 years.

I have the Timex Expedition North Field Post Solar 36 mm and its a great watch, I think it has the same 6 month power reserve movement.

Any idea if or when the 40mm a2-t solars will be back in stock? 42mm is too chonky for my taste

Dude, that Brookville is pretty sweet.

that thumbnail 😂

From the thumbnail I thought Marc was somewhat immodestly announcing Islander solar

Marc wow, wow, wow I love the value of these watches, I must have that titanium one. You should do joint branding with these guys. I love the smooth lines and efficient design of the case, face and use of those awesome straps. Solar watches are truely the best grab and go. I weekly sun my watches along the window sill to keep them topped up. You have hit a home run with these watches. Go Bertucci!

Casio G shock #5610. Bang for the buck, the best watch out there. More durable than anything else. More accurate than a Seiko spring drive. Mechanical watches need not apply. Seems that Mark doesn't carry this one, so he ignores it. Did he really think we wouldn't notice?

Cool Thumbnail. King Marc of Longisland

Casio , pro trek best in solar tech !

I know it probably makes little sense for Bertucci, but I'd love to see the A1 with this solar movement. The lug-to-lug on their 40mm models is too large for my tiny wrist.

I forget the rules for adding "Swiss" to dial. Surprised me considering its an Epson movement. No complaints from me either way. Bertucci do make some nice watches.

This was definitely a logical next step for Bertucci. Thanks for the great reviews.

Is there such a thing as a full lume solor quartz watch? That would be my perfect watch. Add titanium case and fixed lugs and the thing becomes indestructible.

Titanium, especially grade 2, is a soft metal and prone to scratches. Does Bertucci, like most other solar brand watches, use a harding coating on the case ?

Timex has been making Solar watches for years.

The Momentum Smokejumper Eclipse is 38mm, solar, titanium, and only $265.

What options do i have if i want a solar iso diver chrono with sapphire crystal? Same combo in titanium?

With all quartz type watches ,I think as long second hand hits those marks right. U good!

Very nice

Can a regular quartz movement be replaced and convert it to solar?

Nobody beats the Wiz!

Seiko Solaris perpetual watch is awesome…once you figure out the alarm function lol

Mark any possible Islander solar’s in the future?.. I have a few Citizen and Seiko Solar watches.. I love them.

The first three I think of are; Citizen, G Shock and Timex. Seiko doesn't even enter the equation for me.

Marc, is the fiber reinforced case a smaller dial than the titanium? It appears that way but maybe that’s the case creating an optical illusion.

Solar Quartz is indeed the best movt. Abt 20-25 yrs of maintenance-free operation for Casio. Even a Cartier Solar Beat is listed as 15 yrs of operation.

My G Shock Casio Oak Solar Bluetooth is a chick magnet, what are you waiting for, mine was 130 USD.

Will these charge by indoor lighting as well as sunlight? Thanks for the video.

Hey Mark, just wanted to give you a heads up. You have a typo on the front page of your website. "Stating" instead of Starting for the Bertucci watches.

Marc, how do these compare to Lumtec solar?

Vaer makes a lovely solar, the D4.

I'd love a solar F91W with 100m water resistance. 😄

Orient has several impressive sundials, such as the Neo Tokyo

I loved my Ecodrive until I thought the battery died after about ten years...turns out it was the movement itself that died. Wasn't worth replacing. I guess that could happen with any movement, but it didn't live up to the hype at the time.

Que buena propuesta, materiales, colores ❤ y solar.

I'm looking for "my" ideal watch: titanium, 40mm x about 11mm, tritium and lume, saphire & AR, with date complication.

The solar expedition north seems a better deal

Missed casio thats a big one

This titanium baby is all the watch most of us will ever need. Too bad the brand name sounds like fake Chinese goods trying to pass as manufactured in Milano.

What make of Solar Quartz movement do these have in them?

Nice. It looks like the second hand is hitting the marks. Did the polymer model have a cyclops on the date?

Do these use a battery or capacitor to hold the charge? Thank you.

The only quartz I consider is mecha-quartz. With their quality, price, and designs I wish Casio, Bulova, and Citizen would dive into the mechanical world more deeply.

will you consider making the Brookville in a larger case and dial? I like the abalone and linen I just can’t do a 38

I was just curious can you remove a quartz movement and replace it with a solar movement.

Like the topic of solar watches - agree with your opening comments - but most certainly do not like this brand. To each his own, I guess 😉
