I have three or four solar powered watches and they have all crapped out after a few years. Now what do I do with them?
The rechargeable batteries are changeable and like all rechargeable batteries will eventually fail. Fortunately most solar charged watches perform for a good 10yrs or more.

But when the solar mechanism does eventually crap out you have a workless lump of crap in a drawer. You can keep on replacing batteries into perpetuity.

Just replaced the battery on my Timex but cannot get the back to snap on.

That's BS. I've had 10+ Casio tough solar watches, spanning about a decade and never any problems. To have 3 or 4 and they all "crap out" is astronomically rare or you're full of it.
And even if a solar watch battery fails (which almost never happens), it can be replaced.

you can replace the capacitor in them (it's really just a battery). Also try leaving it in sunlight but pull out the crown so it doesn't try to run while charging.

1 seiko, 1 citizen and 1 timex--all dead. If you persist it calling it "BS" I'll happily send you the photos.

And by the way , I took the seiko to a watch repairman and he said it was $100 to replace the solar capacitor. Still BS?

No solar, no buy.
