Plus, it keeps you in the loop with smartphone notifications right on your wrist – because who has time to dig out their phone these days?
Built like a tank (thanks to its shock-resistant design) but dressed to impress in sleek black, it's as ready for a board meeting as it is for a mountain hike. Oh, and here's the kicker: this is a reimported overseas version, packed with features you won't find on the domestic shelves.

Oak G Steel Smartphone Link Solar Watch

I had high hopes for this watch, expecting it to be a game-changer with its solar charging and smart features, but the reality fell short. While it's great that it runs on sunlight and looks good, the connectivity issues really dampen the experience. As a software developer, I appreciate tech that just works, and this one feels a bit half-baked. It's not a bad watch—it's tough and has its moments—but for the price, I was hoping for something more seamless. If you're into automotive stuff like me and need a rugged timepiece, it might do the job, but don't count on it for reliable smart features. Overall, it's okay, but I'm a bit disappointed it didn't live up to the hype.
- Pros: I liked that it charges with sunlight, so I never have to worry about changing batteries, which is extremely convenient. The mix of analog and digital display gives it a classic yet functional look, and getting notifications on my wrist saves me from constantly checking my phone. It feels very durable and can handle bumps without a scratch, plus the black design is sleek enough for both casual and formal wear.
- Cons: As it seemed to me, the smartphone connection isn't as reliable as I expected; notifications often come through delayed or not at all, which is frustrating. The overseas version has some quirks, like features that don't work perfectly with my local setup, making it feel like a decent mid-ranger rather than a top pick. It's a bit bulkier than I'd prefer for everyday wear, and the initial setup was more complicated than it should be.
