Sounds a lot like my Citizen Eco-Drive Skyhawk watch that my son got me for a gift. citizenwatch.com

The whole dial is a solar collector, and it will run for 5 years if you put in in a drawer in the dark.

Things are getting better every day.

Solar charger for cell phones or iPods
October 27, 2005 12:00 AM PDT

Tired of being tethered to a power outlet? Let the sun shine in, says Dutch firm Soldius.

The company out of Apeldoorn, Holland has developed a consumer-use solar charger for mobile devices such as Apple's iPod, Research in Motion's BlackBerry or cell phones from Nokia, Motorola and others.

Battery life varies depending on the device, but you can keep it hooked up while in use, the company said.

The charging process starts after 30 seconds, the company said. If the charging process is interrupted, wait 30 seconds and the procedure will automatically restart.

As for wear and tear, as long as you don't dunk it in your bathtub, the solar charger is good for 90,000 charges. That equals 5 charges a day, 365 days a year, for 49 years, the company claims.

The internal technology Maximum Solar Power Tracking or MSPT and has done similar devices for laptops, cameras and other portable digital devices.

The universal solar charger kit for iPod and cell phones retails for $109.99 and comes with the solar pad, a mini USB cable, two interchangeable iPod adapters compatible with Apple iPod, iPod nano, iPod Mini, and iPod Shuffle, as well as five interchangeable mobile phone adapters.

An iPod-only kit retails for $99.99. The cell phone compatible kit sells for $89.99.
