Smile Solar by Citizen: Fun, Solar-Powered & Eco-Friendly Kids’ Watches

The Smile Solar by Citizen Collection is the ultimate first watch for the next generation of eco-conscious adventurers. Merging playful, vibrant designs with world-class Japanese engineering, these timepieces are built to be as resilient as they are fun. Every Smile Solar watch is powered by Citizen’s light-driven technology, meaning they charge from any light source—sunlight or indoor lamps—and never require a battery change. A single full charge keeps the watch ticking for up to 3.5 months, offering parents a truly maintenance-free ‘set-it-and-forget-it’ experience.

Sustainability is at the heart of the Smile Solar mission. Each watch is crafted using recycled materials, including recycled ABS resin for the case, making it a purchase you can feel good about. To further its impact, a portion of the proceeds from every Smile Solar watch is donated to Table For Two, a non-profit organization that provides school meals to children in need across Africa and Asia.

Designed for an active lifestyle, the collection features a lightweight, comfortable build (weighing just 18g–25g) and impressive 10 ATM (100-meter) water resistance. This means your child can wear their watch while swimming, playing in the rain, or during messy outdoor play without worry.
