WATCH THAT RUNS ON SUMMER TIME

Casio ‘Tough Solar’ watch (£34.99, amazon.co.uk) MOSt of us have suffered a wristwatch battery conking out. the beauty of this watch is that it charges from a solar cell hidden in the clockface. However you may end up being late if you don’t adjust your wardrobe accordingly — if covered by long sleeves, it may run down.

It’s incredibly easy to recharge, taking ten minutes in sunshine or up to an hour through a window. Also, it’s waterproof and includes a stopwatch to time your laps in the swimming pool.

VERDICT: It will keep summer ticking away nicely.
