Seiko Watches

The principle of the Kinetic watch is dubious. It seems thet the "capcell* deteriorates such that the life of the watch is certainly no better than a high quality Lithium powered or even the odd silver oxide powered quartz movement. The service cost quoted by Seiko and even that more competitively quoted by an independent totally wipes out any advantage of using a kinetic setup in the first place. I am sure a conventional battery based quartz watch is more reliable, durable and certainly more economical. There iseems to be no advantage in paying extra for a kinetic ...  Read the complete review

This opinion is about the Seiko Kinetic series and will primarily focus on the Auto Relay which I have one of. I previously had a TAG Heuer 4000 series and will make comparisons with that. I asked Dooyoo for a separate product category for that but they told me to submit this opinion here, so here it goes… >>About The Range The Kinetic Auto relay range consists of a few watch styles, it can mainly be summarised as the Kinetic Auto Relay 100 and the Kinetic Auto Relay 200. I have a Kinetic Auto Relay 200. In the UK these watches retail from between £295 to £395 (maybe £330 in the sales), a fair amount to pay for a Japanese watch don’t you ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

Here comes an odd one for you! As, during all of my months spent on review sites, I have yet to read a watch review, I thought that I would set myself the challenge of writing one. In truth it probably will not be the longest or most interesting review RICHADA has penned….. ….but bear with me for a few minutes if you will. Firstly, for those who do not know me that well, a little bit about me. I am no fan of jewellery, fashion or otherwise - at least not on my own person. As, hopefully, a relatively respectable company director, I do however have need of a passably accurate and presentable time-piece. Before any of you jump in with 'ah, ...  Read the complete review

I received my Seiko chronograph watch as a present for my 20th birthday from my girlfriend (very generous, particularly as we had only been together 4 1/2 months at the time!). She had decided ages before that she wanted to get me a watch for my birthday so that 'I could think of her every time I checked the time'. Although it seemed like a very grand gesture at the time, particularly as we are both students, I reluctantly agreed although only on the condition that she didn't go crazy! We spent many a weekend in town looking in every jewellers window, although we could never find quite what we were looking for within her £200 budget. Id always admired Seiko ...  Read the complete review
