Week 5 Power Source

  As we all know, as technology shrinks, so does its battery life. Even the best phones can't go a single day without a charge. But we have solved that problem. The Ether watch is completely solar powered, ingeniously as a matter of fact. The back of the watch doubles as a dingle high powered solar panel, that can be flipped so that it's facing the sun. Basically, when you're fancy watch is not in use, just flip it over and soak up some rays. And it still looks just as stylish, if not more so. But what if you want to be the life of the party... at night? well the Ether watch has a backup battery as well, also solar powered that charges during the day and can be utilized at night. You'll never miss a beat.
   You might be asking, why not just utilize an internal battery and charger system like most devices today? Well how stylish is USB cable sticking out of you're wrist-ware? If we had utilized that system, the ether watch would have to have a port to accommodate a charger. If that was the case, then it would be more phone then watch, and phone equals unwieldy in this case, exactly what this watch was designed to avoid. So now you can enjoy an undoubtedly more streamlined experience, as well as help save the environment. Thumbs up for you :)
