I want an environmentally friendly watch; Do they actually exist?

You try to live as sustainably as possible. You separate your waste, eat organic and buy as much ecological clothing as possible. But now you need a (new) watch. Environmentally friendly watches, do they actually exist? Yes! More and more brands are marketing watches that are made wholly or partly from natural, recycled or biodegradable materials.

Which watches are really completely sustainable?

Fortunately, there are more and more watch manufacturers who consider sustainability to be of paramount importance. They think about the choice of materials, but also about working conditions and the origin of materials.

On our page about environmentally friendly watches , we have collected all watches from our collection that are largely sustainably produced and made from recyclable materials or materials of natural origin. Brands such as Rolex, Omega and Rado are at the forefront of this.

What is an eco-friendly watch?

The criteria for exactly what an environmentally friendly watch is are not (yet) fixed. An eco label does not yet exist for this sector. The choice of almost completely sustainable watches is also limited at the moment. Nevertheless, you can now also make a more sustainable choice from our regular watch collection if you pay attention to the following:

Choose timeless quality and a neutral color

As with the choice of any utensil, a simple rule actually applies: choose quality. Do not go with the latest trends that get boring quickly or for a simple product that will not last long. Choose a timeless design of solid quality that you will enjoy for years to come.

Tip: A watch in one of the basic colors silver, gold, rose gold and black suits different clothing styles and looks less dated than a watch in a bright color or with a print. The more minimal the design, the more neutral. That makes the watch less fashion-sensitive. Explore our wide range of first copy watches online india

Automatic and solar are more environmentally friendly than quartz

A (digital) quartz watch contains a battery. Harmful substances are used in the production and processing of batteries. An automatic watch - which is wound up by your own movements - is the most sustainable choice. An automatic watch, if maintained properly, can last a lifetime.

A solar watch (on light or solar energy) is also more durable than quartz, but less durable than an automatic. Because there is also a battery in a solar watch . This battery only rarely needs to be replaced, but it remains a kind of battery.

Tip: If you do choose quartz or solar, always hand in the old battery to a collection point after replacement. When you have your watch battery replaced with us , the watchmaker will ensure that it is recycled.

Charities

Some brands join organizations that strive to conserve nature and biodiversity. For example, Bering has some models of which part of the proceeds go to Polar Bears International , Certina supports the Sea Turtle Conservancy and Seiko Save The Ocean conservation projects.

Are smartwatches sustainable?

The same applies to smartwatches as to smartphones. Due to rapidly developing technology, they only last for a limited time and are usually discarded. If you still want a smartwatch, make sure that the software can be updated and the battery lasts a long time.

Are vegan watches already available?

Are you vegan, vegetarian, or just concerned with the fate of animals, then choose a watch with a strap that is not made of leather. Steel or titanium are strong and last a long time. If you don't like metal to wear, you can of course opt for a plastic or silicone strap. But rather choose a tire made from a natural or recycled material.

Various watches are available with cork, wood, vegan leather or recycled plastic straps.
