Fact #1. In its essence, the sundial is the first solar watch, as it used sunlight as a means of telling time. Of course, these devices, which date back to at least 1500 BCE, don't have any gears to speak of. You also can't conveniently wear them on a chain or around your wrist. The other big problem with sundials is that they have a lot of trouble performing at night.
Fact #2. The owners of early watches relied on the sun to help them keep their timepieces accurate. These old pieces had to be wound to maintain their spring action. They all drifted away from second-by-second accuracy at different intervals. There was one moment of the day when people could generally agree on the time: high noon.
Fact #3. To be clear, your wrist only gets to wear one watch at a time. There's nothing stopping you from investing in every watch you like and rotating them as the occasion dictates. There is, however, something stopping you from wearing more than one at a time. It's called common decency. No fashion icon has yet made it acceptable to wear multiple watches. Unless your name is Tom Ford or Anna Wintour, it isn't your job to do so.
Fact #4. It's important to consider whether you want to go analog or digital. The fashion of the day among aficionados is decidedly analog. More and more timepieces are informed by the vintages of the early 20th century. As the younger generation ages into the field, it's a safe bet to assume that digital watches will have yet another turn at the top of the fashion heap.
Fact #5. You may notice that some of these watches don't actually require solar energy. They can draw energy from any light source, even something as simple as a desk lamp. That's because watch companies experiment with different materials other than boron and phosphorus, which may render the cell more sensitive.
