Seiko Diving Computer Men's Watch STN009

Seiko Titanium Chronograph.

Advantages: Long lasting, light, goot features, looks very nice.
Disadvantages: The glass gets scratched eventually.

I have owned a Seiko Titanium Chronograph for around 8 years now. I bought it when I was about 13, and it's been on my wrist practically every day ever since. I have finally got a new watch now, which is by no means replacing the Seiko, I just wanted another one... First off it is still going after 8 years hard use, so the build quality must be there really. I have never had any problems with it whatsoever and it has had one new battery since I got it. Seiko really do give exceptional value for money, they are a mid-range watch company and make very good watches and a very good price. Okay they're not Swiss, but they do the job! I got this done at Jarrolds a year or so ago for around £15. If I had sent it back to Seiko you'd be looking at close to 100, and as I'd paid £130 for the watch 7 years previously it did not seem like a good ...

Review of Seiko Quartz Watch

IF NOT THE ROLLS ROYCE, THE LEXUS OF WATCHES

Advantages: Very good time-keeper. Classic Good Looks. Not Expensive for Technology Offered.
Disadvantages: In Five and a Half Years I Have Found None!

across the fastener at the back. Also unlike my previous watch, this one has an almost silent tick, press it hard to your ear and you may just here it. On the other hand the oscillating weight which charges the mechanism can clearly be heard "oscillating", sometimes as you move your wrist, occasionally when you are walking quite normally. It is a difficult sound to describe, but makes for quite a talking piece on occasion when people remark on it - especially children who are unused to a watch making such a soft rattling sound. This particular watch is classed as "Water Resistant", according to the instruction book only capable of resisting "accidental contact with water". Seiko do produce Kinetic watches which are resistant to 10, 15 and 20 bar, none of which are sufficiently water proof for diving. As my old watch was not working ...

Review of Seiko Gents Kinetic Watch

Seiko Kinetic - batteries no included nor needed.

Advantages: no need for batteries, strong solid design, lasts for ages
Disadvantages: none that i can think of

right and the second hand spins to tell you. 10 seconds is 2 weeks charge (I think from memory), 20 seconds is a month? And 30 seconds, well, that?s the best you can get. Of course, that is based on there being no movement at all from you for that time. Which is of course daft, unless you take your watch off and leaving it lying about the house for no apparent reason. As I have been known to do. But even then, in the last 8 years, I?ve never had it run out of charge. If it does get low and I?m bored, I sit there shaking it to charge it back up to full charge, but that?s not necessary, simple movements throughout the day would do the same. You?d be surprised just how much you move your arm and thus your wrist during the day. I can?t really speak on the diving water resistance, as I?ve never been diving wearing it, but I have had showers ...
