Light power to charge battery

I am a huge fan of fitbit, I also own a couple of Citizen watches that charge their batteries with light. My biggest issue with fitbit is the battery needs to be charged often. It would be great if you could develop a battery that is charged by light. It sue works great with the watches I own.

I like the idea, but will need to be added to a future tracker, it's to late to redesign the Charge 2

I'm thinking of the future, it would be so nice not to have to have to take the time to charge your Fitbit, it would always be ready to work for you. I find with my watches, now 6 + years old, are working beautifully. This was just a smart idea, I thought. As for my new Charge 2, which I love, I get about 8 days of battery life out of the battery, a great improvement over my Charge Up.

Thanks
