I spent quite a bit of time looking for a good, trustworthy watch that would last a long time after I went through a string of cheap watches that barely lasted me on average for 2 years each time.  I thought I had that when I got a Klaus Kobec about 4 years ago but sure enough after about 2 years it started giving me problems and so I decided to spend a bit more for quality and after doing lots of research online, I came across this watch from Seiko which claimed to be able to perform without ever having to have a battery change.

Like everyone else, I had heard of Seiko and I figured a brand that has sponsored sporting events as official timer cannot be half bad and so I decided to take a chance.  I deliberately held off doing this review for a few months because I wanted to be as objective as possible and to give this watch a chance to disappoint my initial impressions over the first few months but I have been "disappointed".  This is by far the best watch that I have ever owned and I really like the way if you don't wear this watch for a long period of time and so the kinetic energy runs out the moment you put this on and swing your arm for a bit the watch automatically adjusts itself to the correct time.  This new kinetic technology amazes me and I'm glad that I will save some bucks on having to make regular battery changes over the many, many years that I expect to use this watch.

The display is also very pretty and looks even better up close as the picture on this site doesn't do it justice.  It's been a few months now and now that I've given enough time for the novelty effect to wear off, I can safely say that I still like this watch a lot and I can see myself wearing this for a long, long time to come.

Highly recommended!
