Solios watches use [solar technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solarpowered-watches1) to keep the watches functioning for a long time while disregarding the single-use battery standard of the industry. The Rainforest Edition has a minimalistic design and forest green watch face. The [leather straps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leather-smartwatch-bands) provided with the watch are completely vegan and come in shades of brown, black, and green. Mesh straps are also available as the brand offers black, silver, and rose-gold options. The engraving on the back of the watch depicts a rainforest scene further to emphasize the support of the Rainforest Trust Foundation. For every watch purchased within this collection, 10% of its revenue will be donated to help protect the rainforest. According to the website, "the Rainforest Trust reinvests 100% of donations to restore one acre of rainforest every 16 seconds across the world."
