The Seiko Kinetic approach is probably what Nikon would impliment.

Olympus would have used the same sort of technology that is in a Citizen 
Eco-Drive watch.

Mine has a Titanium case and strap, is water resistant to 100m, is solar 
powered and has a Titanium/Lithium ion rechargeable battery.

The whole watch face is a high efficiency solar cell.  From dead-flat, the 
battery is fully charged in 3.5 hours of exposure to direct sunlight.  
Fully charged, it can run for 6 months in complete darkness.

Makes the technology in a Seiko Kinetic look like something from Victorian 
England. ;-)

10min of exposure to the light from  an overcast day is sufficient to run 
it for a day.  There seems to be no real need to purposefully 'charge' it. 
 It gets plenty of light by just being worn.
