There is no question that Seiko has really had some excellent watches over the years, but one thing for certain Seiko has shown is stepping ahead of many watch makers. But not every watch is for everyone. That has been the case with the Kinetic watch line. These watch are really like automatic watches, but run on a rechargeable battery. This one works very well on the wrist, but easily doesn't start itself up running on normal pace, like other watch brands. Still, it can pace itself up after awhile. I do wish though it could've had a bit more features on the face, from illuminating hands that glow in the dark, to a little bit less gloss around the face. This is a good watch, but honestly if you are really looking for automatic watch, I would definitely recommend passing this one up, and look for a brand like Sthurling that has been known for automatic timepieces.
