As a watch collector and enthusiast, I've written a couple of watch reviews while I've been here, and read hundreds more! While most are positive, often glowing in fact, I've noticed that a few are a little down on the old Seiko brand. Seiko watch company have been around forever and a day. They were established in ...

As a company Seiko seem to live in middle ground between your cheap but fairly good watches e.g. Sekonda and your big brand name expensive watches e.g. Tag Heuer. What I mean by this is that when you wear a Seiko nobody is going to think you are a cheapskate but likewise you aren't going to walk round like a charlie big potatos with some ...

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 ... Read the complete review

I bought a Seiko Kinetic, 50m waterproof, stainless watch for my son for his 16th birthday. He chose the style, a nice looking watch with gold/stainless bracelet, lumibrite dial, and kinetic movement. He was very pleased with it, until after about four years he noticed condensation inside the glass. He's not a diver, doesn't ... 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 ... Read the complete review

I own two Seiko watches, both for a number of years now. The oldest is a chronograph watch with a built in alarm, and the newer one is a Seiko Kinetic Arctura. The only times I have to adjust both watches is when the clocks change, other than that they never lose a minute. The old chronograph watch has an alarm however it's very quiet. ...

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 ... Read the complete review

... I thought as I strolled past Samuels display window on the highstreet, noticing for the first time the new range of Seiko Perpetual Calendar watches. The next thought was, hang on- don't they look like last years Tag Heuer collection? And they most certainly do. In fact, I'm reliably informed that the designer who crafted the ...

I think I've finally got into the Dooyoo thing, for the first time in my life I've had to buy something and here am I sitting like an idiot with the packaging and instructions all around me writing about it. Is this wise, should I see a doctor? Talking about doctors, an elf came to my house the other day, and he was ill. ... Read the complete review

My Seiko Kinetic watch was a Christmas present to me four years ago and it never leaves my wrist. This range of Seiko watches is very stylish, and not as clumpy as you would imagine them to be. They have a single colour face and a curved strip to the right-hand side, which is a different colour again. The individual minutes ... Read the complete review

It's a great idea - a watch which takes the energy you use to power itself. It's not as sinister as it first sounds - it's not relying on your electric discharges, or your lifeblood ... instead just on the movements your arm makes when you're walking, watching TV, or scratching your head. The system works ... Read the complete review
