Reviews

I wish I had a sapphire crystal for scratch resistant, but still won 't scratch too if they are careful with it.

This is the second Seiko Kinetic watch I bought. Both are excellent, but my eyesight dictated a black dial with white hands. Serves the purpose very well and is dead on accurate

I bought this for my father, I have worn for 10 yrs Seikos - actually I tired both for Seiko long! I always wanted the sound kinetic I found an occasion to get him one. Very elegant watch, black dial look and sophisticated band is smooth yet not too flashy. Makes the clock look more dignified. The face is larger than the picture and depicts some of the chrome is pretty much for my taste but my father love it so 't complain. Hope one that is as reliable as the last.

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R35AREBJW4BV8A I 've always liked nice watches.I do not like blingy watches, gold watches gold tone 2. R r 'm coming from an Omega Seamaster Pro 2254.50 (already sold) which has incredible Readability in any light conditions (perfect for aging eyes) but with only the drawback of a high priced premium maintenance. R r 've been looking for a watch that could replace it and being honest, I looked for: r r1) Tissot r2) Seiko r3) Citizen r RI went to the mall, looking for official dealers for each one of the manufacturers websites and, before a lot of research, I knew that: r r1) Tissot won 't honor Warranty for a watch bought on the Internet. R2) Seiko won 't honor Warranty for a watch bought on the internet, unless its clearly stated that the seller is an Authorized Seiko Retailer. R3) Citizen honor will purchase from Amazon, them being an authorized reseller. R RSO, I went to the mall looking for specific watches 3: r r1) Tissot PRC200 Mens Watch T014. 410.11.057.00 r r2) Citizen Men 's Eco-Drive Caliber 8700 Watch # BL8000-54A r r3) Seiko Men ' s Kinetic Silver-Tone Watch # SKA347 r rThe Tissot has a very good finish and species. (200 sapphire crystal and water resistance for example) rThe things I didn 't like about it was that the bracelet was very heavy and there are network minutes in the inner bezel markings. The good thing also is a 2 year International Warranty) The bad thing: JUST ANOTHER quartz watch with no innovations at all. R rThen I looked at the Citizen. Everything looked awesome on that except watch the white dial and Roman numerals looks like they are made of plastic, not metal, very artificial looking. The Eco Drive feature was a plus but the dial (aside being too busy) breaker.Also was a deal, they use simple mineral crystal and saw a lot of scratches on the face of a different one who belongs to a Watchmaker works at Jared . R rat last, I went to Times Square booth (listed on Seiko 's website) and started looking for a Kinetic. R rFirst I handed the Premier 's: very nice looking but super heavy and then I saw the one I ' m reviewing here. R Rit looked bold, easy to read, uncluttered dial, good Lume, kinetic movement, perfect case for my wrist size, slim profile (compared to the other wave), sits on the wrist very nice, nice bracelet (very similar to Shark 's Speedy bracelet), 100 M WR meaning I can use it in the pool, piece of cake to setup, Hardlex crystal and a 3 year warranty, being the first year International and 2 years valid only in the U.S. and I I was sold. I need to watch that just tells the time and the day, that 's all. (I don 't like looking dials busy with functions that you may never use, although the Citizen ' s Dial caught my eye ... on the Internet but not in person)) r rif and decides to criticize something I Don 't like about the watch is the fact that the hour and minute hands are painted white, not chrome / polished looking.But this detail makes those hands to pop out a little more, making them easier to read at a glance. Then I remembered my Omega Seamaster which had already gone the same design concept but the opposite way: Luminova filled with shiny metal hands and markers painted, which made that sound unique watch. R r r 've also decided on because Seiko watch is the only company (Swiss aside some manufacturers) that does everything in house. (movement, crystal, bracelet, even the oils used for Lubrication) r RI can 't attest yet where it ' s durability and accuracy (just got it yesterday) but I will post updates in the future. R rThanks for reading. R rUpdate: after a week of use, the watch is spot on with www.time.gov. R RPS: I bought this watch and like it very much, although there is something I don 't get. R rWith a good regular quartz watch, you change batteries every 5 / 8 years. With the kinetic is the same, the battery will stop holding a charge after about the same time, sound, what 's the point of kinetics? It seems just another marketing scam ...

The SKA347 Seiko watch is a wonderful thing. Within three days of the arrival of Amazon, management Ude kinetic energy of the system had stored four to six months of backup power with moderate physical activity. Sets the clock outside greenwichmeantime.com to test accuracy and found the watch won a full second in two weeks. The clock has a cash fund of exposure and is characterized Japan Seiko Time Inc., June 6 Jewels. The weight is moderate for a man 's watch, but not as bad as the typical automatic. Water resistance is 10 bar, or approximately 100 feet dive. The clock face is clear, thoughtful that requires only a quick glance to see a reason why not to use multiple timer line. The watch is available in dark metallic finish with gold details, it is quite attractive, but because of the transitory nature of metal finishing, I think the natural end of the stainless SKA347 better withstand the test of time. I have no fear in the recommendation to see the hard, accurate and attractive, which is sold here for a remarkable value.

This watch is great. The style and the band are very similar to Grand Seiko watch in a fraction of the price, but it doesn 't feel like a reply. And it isn 't. This is a robust, watch, understated class that looks like a watch of high quality. Hasn 't lost a second since I ' ve owned and resource Kinetic is a real winner. In little more than a hundred dollars, this watch was a real steal.

My girlfriend gave me this watch for Christmas and I absolutely love it. I have many watches and this is my favorite. His was an added bonus that I never had to change the battery, which usually leads to problems with the waterproof seal. Great watch at a great price. You will not be disappointed if you buy this watch.

I've got my girlfriend to watch for Christmas, I think he 'd like kinetic features (he loves tech gadgets, especially when they ' re functional). He's really got a kick out of it. Sometimes I see him rocking back and forth an hour just to have fun. R RMY only concern is that when you move the watch, it makes a grinding sound that sounded like something. When you turn the monitor and see through the clear support, you can see a piece of metal is rolled as you swing the watch to be filled. It 's look very neat, and I love the clear background, but the sound was a bit worried. Manual says ok and expected noise, but in a quiet room, you can hear it. R rit 'sa sturdy watch, and looks great. I bought it because I had seen great reviews about the company. It looks professional, but still young and a little sporty. My boyfriend is a graduate student, so she needed something more beautiful than watching his old sport, but still something he can wear everyday around the city. R rFinally, date functions need to be adjusted to account for any month with 30 months and 31 days. Maybe people expect this, but coming from a digital clock, it was a bit inconvenient. I saw another Seiko automatically adjust the date to something like 100 years, but it was out of price range. This is one of doing the job, just needs some maintenance.

I bought this watch in Las Vegas and Dillard 's in the Fashion Mall. I looked at almost every store in the mall, and this was my favorite in my price range. R GH was looking for a watch with a kinetic stainless steel silver-tone band and this fits perfectly. I have many watches and the guard to see according to my tastes at the moment, but keep coming back to this. It 'sa look beautiful, but not too loud. I work in sales and 's important to convey only the right image. This clock displays the class and good taste.

Purchased the watch last month. It looks great, very comfortable. Works as described and is high quality. Some friends really like it. The watch has a simple, elegant style. The kinetic charge is great, it fully charged itself after two days of wear. R rit is my first Seiko. I will definitely go with Seiko again if I ever need a new / different watch.

I spent much time trying to find a watch that my boyfriend would like that fit your criteria: R1. Metal Band R2. No unusual colors R3. Class, but not outdated R4. Will last more than a year or two R5. Could you survive falling into water R6. No battery R7. Male band size and face r rThis see all of the requirements, and indeed looked even prettier in person than in the picture. I was surprised to see how it looks expensive. I would say it looks more expensive than many watches more than doubled in price. If you 're looking for to see a good quality in the range of $ 150 - $ 200, Don ' t hesitate to get this watch.

This is a great product, great works, as was described, no surprises yet:)

I 've used this watch everyday for about three years now. I love it and have no regrets. Large kenetic wind. Clock does not have a problem at all and I'll buy it again.

I just purchased the watch. I found a few things that were the perfect balance. R r1. Price r2. Weight r3. Sized r4. Elegant Vs. Professional R5. Sporty VS. Professional r6. Vs clunky. Simple r rit works well, feels good and I got it for a bargain discount. If you are looking for a watch and not something that is overly complicated and only goes with one genre of your wardrobe, get this watch. R rRegards, r-Richie Etwaru

This is my first Seiko. I see a Citizen Eco-Drive dress, but without the hands illimunated / Marker, a leather band, and no backlight. Also, since I often go to pull the trunk because it is very difficult to tell which is a royal pain when you switch time zones. My recent steel casual "just watch croaked. I had the battery changed years ago and opening the box, obviously enough moisture introduced into the interior, so that it corrodes over the past 5 years. So, a stainless steel Clock casual, comfortable enough for daily wear, tough enough, wanted to take all the time, minimum down (I only need what time it is white) and even turning on, so I 't have, the worries about this conclusion. This fits the bill very well and looks good enough for me to work and can wear it. So far (1 week) very closely and there 's all I ask of a clock. The tribe seems to be big enough that I change time zones can also have what is a bonus. update R r3 months. Not much different than above. It 's were accurate, reliable, and I ' ve got several compliments on them. Very heavy stainless steel case and band that I like - see definitely a "male ". I had to stop to think about and begin to rely entirely accurate - it's very high praise indeed. The time frame could be a little easier for 43 years old eyes at a see look, but I do 's older than the clock. Otherwise, it was all what I expected. As mentioned, my first Seiko, definitely not my last if it continues like this. R r9 months update. See above. bifocals so I can see now the date is no longer an issue. I wear it every day, keeps perfect time and I think don 't even more. aboslutely 100% reliable so far. Highly recommended.

This is a very nice watch I bought for boyfriend for Christmas so that wouldn 't have to worry about watch batteries. His previous Seiko has been in a drawer for almost 2 years with a dead battery. He 's received so many compliments on it already, what really stands out (in a subtle, elegant). The clear picture on the back of the watch is incredible, even more interesting. So far he has enjoyed with him, said that 's not pinch at all, very comfortable, not to replace the battery to wait!

Seiko Men 's Kinetic watch is a nice and beautiful clock keeps great time, no maintenance tool needed.

This clock is a simple, not too high, the source of kinetic energy means that does not require batteries, energized by a flick of the wrist. I have not had the watch long enough to make any comment on its quality and reliability.

I 've owned watches Seko for over 30 years and have always marveled that are the difficult and precise. When he was ready to buy a new Seiko, wanted to change just because some of wrist jewelry, I concluded that this kinetic watch was one of the most attractive to my level of conservative elegance. R rFor example, marks on the face stainless steel watch are refelective and sometimes as blink briefly catching the light - it adds just the right amount of pizazz. The closing of the bracelet is a new site types (for me), gives a very pleasant, Travis positive action. R rLast but not least, I love the kinetic "settlement - which means I 'll never have to purchase a battery for this watch. Ando strength, and work in the gym enough, I know in a few days the clock became fully charged, according to the manufacturer, means that sufficient power reserves for the past 6 months without any other proposal. Goodbye Batteries clock. r rin summary -- Love it. I would have rated it 5 stars if it appears the day of the week and the day of the month.

I wanted a nice watch, professional and reliable. I'm not in love with bells and whistles more. I want my watch to tell me the exact time and day without the need for a battery or constant motion with the necessary automatic. I don 't need a watch to tell me the month, whether day or night, military time, or time to another time zone. Keep it simple and precise. R rThis watch has a very elegant design, has a good size front without being clumsy, and has the qualities of each Seiko Kinetic watch. I did not delete the type or dictate. This is the watch I wear everyday for years to come.
