5.0 out of 5 stars A Good Heavy Watch, December 18, 2011

A well made watch which is a very good buy when caught on sale. It is heavy at about 175 grams or 6+ ounces.

The watch is well finished and the bracelet has solid links rather than folded construction links. You are getting a watch that uses a Seiko Kinetic movement which recharges the lithium ion battery via a generator operated by arm movement when the watch is worn. Early Kinetics had problems with limited life of the supercapacitor they used but this is supposed to be solved by the current rechargeable battery which is retrofittable to older Kinetic watches. Claimed life is now approaching 20 years. Time will tell.

The watch is fairly large and heavy and claims to be all stainless steel construction for the case and bracelet. I find the gold color finish attractive. I had no problem shortening the bracelet by one link for my 7.5" diameter wrist but if your wrist measures much over 8" the bracelet may be too short. Adjustment at the clasp is minimal so most adjustment has to be made by link removal. Very limited watch bracelet adjustment at the clasp is becoming common and I am not in favor of it.

The one feature this watch is not fitted with compared to most Seiko Kinetic watches is the power reserve check pushbutton. I like the feature and wish that the Pulsar Kinetics had it. It does have a exhibition window in the case back cover which is something that I see little point in on anything but a skeletonized mechanical watch
